Abstract
Milgrom et al. (Dec. 23 issue)1 report on the treatment of allergic asthma with monoclonal IgE antibody. It has generally been accepted that IgE has a central role in the pathogenesis of anaphylaxis, allergic rhinitis, and asthma. However, several recent studies seem to question this concept.Keywords
