Background: Anti-IgE immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies represents a breakthrough in treatment of severe allergic diseases. However, drawbacks such as short half-life and high price are not negligible. Our objective is to develop an anti-IgE vaccine based on virus-like particles (VLPs) which can induce long-lasting neutralizing IgG anti-IgE antibodies reducing allergic responses without causing intrinsic mast cell activation due to IgE cross-linking.

Background: Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria (CSU) is a disease characterized by the onset of wheals and/or angioedema over 6 weeks. The pathophysiology for CSU is very complex, involving mast cells and basophils with a multitude of inflammatory mediators. For many years the treatment of CSU has been based on the use of antihistamines, steroids and immunosuppressive agents with inconstant and frustrating results.

Anti-IgE treatment represents a major breakthrough in the therapeutic management of severe allergic asthma. Omalizumab is the unique biologic treatment registered for asthma therapy in children. The clinical efficacy and safety of omalizumab treatment in the pediatric population has been extensively documented in specific trials and consistently expanded from real-life studies.
