Talk:Omalizumab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

says it binds to receptors then it says it binds to the IgE itself. i doubt it's both, since they are completely different molecules. Eupedia 22:55, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I am not entirely sure how this drug works, but antibodies are perfectly capable of binding two substrates at once. I slapped an {{expert}} tag on the page. If we can't find anyone, I'll read the reserach paper and fix it (might have to bug me and remind me though). Isopropyl 05:43, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Omalizumab

According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the monoclonal antibody is specifically binds to IgE not the Fc episilon R1 receptor. Sorry ;p
