This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The experiment will examine the efficacy of UBI¿s therapy for allergy in a relevant animal model (baboons). The UBI allergy therapeutic contains a piece of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody. [IgE antibodies are the antibodies that react against allergens and cause most allergic reactions.] The piece of IgE in the UBI therapy was produced by chemical synthesis and has been combined with various vaccine components. Therefore the UBI therapy has been designed to act as a vaccine that elicits protective antibodies against the individual¿s own IgE. Accordingly, the vaccine will neutralize the ability of any IgE to cause allergic reactions. This therapeutic anti-IgE immune response is specifically directed against only the targeted piece of IgE, while having no effect on normal antibodies. This IgE vaccine approach to allergy therapy has the additional advantage that it will be effective therapy for all IgE-mediated allergies with no need to identify or tailor treatment for specific allergens such as tree and grass pollens, animal danders, dust mites, etc.

该子项目是利用 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中得到体现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。该实验将在相关动物模型（狒狒）中检验 UBI 治疗过敏的功效。 UBI 过敏治疗剂含有一块免疫球蛋白 E (IgE) 抗体。 [IgE抗体是针对过敏原并引起大多数过敏反应的抗体。] UBI疗法中的IgE片段是通过化学合成产生的，并与各种疫苗成分结合在一起。因此，UBI 疗法被设计为一种疫苗，可引发针对个体自身 IgE 的保护性抗体。因此，疫苗将中和任何 IgE 引起过敏反应的能力。这种治疗性抗 IgE 免疫反应专门针对 IgE 的目标片段，而对正常抗体没有影响。这种 IgE 疫苗过敏治疗方法还有一个额外的优点，即它将是所有 IgE 介导的过敏的有效治疗方法，无需针对特定过敏原（如树和草花粉、动物皮屑、尘螨等）识别或定制治疗。
