An immunotherapeutic vaccine for allergy was produced by designing IgE-based synthetic peptide immunogens and selecting them for functional immunogenicity. The vaccine targets the binding site on IgE for the high affinity receptor FcεRI, by active immunization. The peptide target site on IgE heavy chain was selected from among the amino acid sequences for the Cε2, Cε3, and Cε4 domains. These were characterised by epitope mapping studies for cross-reactivity to IgE and functional antigenicity. A peptide, modified from positions 413–435 of a loop region of Cε3 and subjected to conformational constraint, elicited anti-IgE antibodies that blocked IgE-mediated histamine release. It was immunopotentiated by linkage to a promiscuous T helper site to produce a wholly synthetic chimaeric immunogen. This immunogen was shown to induce polyclonal site-specific anti-IgE antibodies that obstruct binding to FcεRI, inhibit histamine release by IgE-sensitised basophils, inhibit passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, and do not signal degranulation. Immunized dogs experienced significant reductions in total serum IgE.
