Binding of ligelizumab to IgE in a 21 stoichiometry induces an extended and twofold symmetrical conformation of IgE, which retains a rigid Fab-Fc architecture. Analyses of effector cell activation revealed that ligelizumab inhibits IgE binding without displacing receptor-bound IgE. Together with an interference of CD23 binding, the data underline a functional activity similar to omalizumab. CONCLUSIONS Our data reveal the first structures of intact IgE suggesting that the IgE Fab is fixed relative to the Fc. Furthermore, we provide a
