Popis: Omalizumab is an antibody against IgE that is used to treat patients with asthma and chronic idiopathic urticaria. Here, the authors report the structure of omalizumab in complex with an IgE fragment and develop an approach to exchange rather than deplete IgE on human basophils to block their activation.
