Abstract: A method of treating a subject suffering from an allergic disorder is provided, the method including inducing rapid desensitization to an allergen, the rapid desensitization effectuated by: administering to the subject a plurality of equal doses of a first anti-Fc?RI? monoclonal antibody, wherein the plurality of equal doses are administered over a 6 to 8 hour period and wherein each dose is lower than a level required to induce shock, thereby inducing rapid desensitization to the allergen. Monoclonal antibodies and methods of co-administering or consecutively administering a combination thereof to effectuate rapid desensitization are also provided.

Abstract: Methods for suppressing IgE-mediated anaphylaxis are provided herein, which include administering to a person in need thereof a combination of at least two therapeutic agents selected from the group consisting of an antihistamine, one or more beta-adrenergic agonists, and one or more tyrosine kinase antagonists. Also provided herein are methods of suppressing IgE-mediated anaphylaxis associated with immunotherapeutic desensitization of a subject, and pharmaceutical compositions for suppressing IgE-mediated anaphylaxis.

Abstract: The present invention involves techniques for evaluating in vivo cytokine production through the in vivo capture of secreting cytokines by labeled cytokine-binding reagents, followed by in vitro measurement of serum levels of captured cytokine. The methods of the present invention make use of the ability of a neutralizing antibody to a cytokine, when injected into a person or expierimental animal, to bind that cytokine and prevent its catabolism, excretion, or binding to a cytokine receptor. This causes the cytokine, which may normally have a very short in vivo half life, to accumulate in vivo as a cytokine/anti-cytokine antibody complex. If the anti-cytokine antibody is either labeled with a molecule that can be bound by another molecule (e.g.; biotin, which is bound by avidin or streptavidin), or is itself capable of being bound by another molecule (e.g.
