Immunogenic molecules comprising (a) at least one moiety of a peptide mimicking the natural epitope on human IgE recognized by the monoclonal anti-human IgE antibody BSW17, and (b) a moiety capable of eliciting an immune response against that peptide. They are useful in, or for the preparation of, pharmaceutical compositions, particularly for the treatment of IgE-mediated diseases such as allergies and atopic dermatitis, e.g. vaccines against allergy. |
