How does sublingual immunotherapy work?
There is now a growing consensus that specific sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) does actually work. Initial skepticism about the results of uncontrolled or open studies has been removed after the positive outcomes of a series of large, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. A recent meta-analysis found 21 trials of SLIT that were of sufficient quality to merit analysis of their efficacy agains...
متن کاملSublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) – indications, mechanism, and efficacy
SLIT (sublingual immunotherapy,) induces allergen-specific immune tolerance by sublingual administration of a gradually increasing dose of an allergen. The mechanism of SLIT is comparable to those during SCIT (subcutaneous immunotherapy), with the exception of local oral dendritic cells, pre-programmed to elicit tolerance. In the SLIT dose, to achieve the same efficacy as in SCIT, it should be ...

متن کاملQuality of life outcomes with sublingual immunotherapy.
PURPOSE Immunotherapy is the titrated exposure of allergens to induce immunologic tolerance and offers long-term immune modification. Traditional subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) has resulted in several deaths and raised safety concerns. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) is an alternative administration route for allergen-specific immunotherapy. Compared to SCIT, SLIT has a shorter escalation ph...
متن کاملImmunological mechanisms of sublingual immunotherapy.
Administration of allergen-specific immunotherapy by the oral route, sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT), has been shown to be effective, with an improved safety profile compared with subcutaneous administration. However, the precise mechanisms underlying the induction of immune tolerance by SLIT remain unclear. Contact of the allergen with the antigen-presenting cells in oral mucosa is likely to b...
