game Thomas Bieber topy is defined as a genetically inherited predisposition to develop
allergic diseases such as asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis and atopic eczema, associated with an
exaggerated production of IgE antibodies to environmental allergens. This immunoglobulin
and its cellular receptors - the high-affinity receptor FceRI and the low-affinity receptor FceRII …
Abstract
What is the role of FcεRI on professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs)? Here, Thomas Bieber speculates how FcεRI-expressing APCs may triger primary and secondary immune responses, T-cell skewing and inflammation.
