On the Origin of Immunoglobulin E's: Elucidating the Immunological Mechanisms Underlying Mucosal IgE Responses in Type2 Disease

Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Drug
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY

Methods: A unique combination of state-of-the-art methods will be applied, including single-cell RNA sequencing and receptor profiling, proteomics, determination of the microbial composition, recombinant antibody screening and disease modelling in cell cultures. Expected results: The investigators expect for the first time to discern the drivers of local IgE production in LOA and uncover the immunological pathways leading to local IgE production in AA and LOA. Moreover, the investigators will obtain insights into the role of Dupilumab in modulation mechanisms. Impact: If successful, these insights will answer a long standing, unresolved question in type 2 disease and might aid in the development of novel directed therapeutics for AA and LOA.
