Recent Progress in Allergen Immunotherapy
The efficacy of allergen immunotherapy for the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with or without seasonal bronchial asthma and anaphylaxis caused by the sting of the hymenoptera class of insects has been clearly demonstrated in numerous well-designed, placebo-controlled trials. Immunotherapy whether by subcutaneous injection of allergen extract or by oral/sublingual routes modifies peri...
متن کاملImmune mechanisms in allergen-specific immunotherapy.
Allergen-specific immunotherapy has been shown to be clinically effective in patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis and/or asthma. Patients who receive this therapy undergo a number of specific immunologic changes in response to the allergen being administered. These include a "blunting" of the seasonal rise of allergen-specific IgE as well as lowering baseline IgE levels, generation of an al...
متن کاملAllergen immunotherapy
Allergen Immunotherapy (AIT), is effective in reducing the clinical symptoms associated with allergic rhinitis, asthma and venom induced anaphylaxis [1]. Subcutaneous (SCIT) and Sublingual (SLIT) with unmodified allergen extracts are the two routes of administration of allergen vaccines. In addition, AIT has been positioned as the only treatment that may alter the natural course of allergic dis...
متن کاملAllergen immunotherapy.
Allergen immunotherapy plays an important role in the treatment of allergic diseases and asthma. This article is a brief review of the current approaches, including patient and allergen selection, routes of administration, and use of standardized allergen vaccines. New approaches offering potentially useful strategies based on recent studies of T-cell epitopes, cytokines, and anti-IgE and DNA v...
متن کاملMechanisms of allergen-specific immunotherapy and immune tolerance to allergens
Substantial progress in understanding mechanisms of immune regulation in allergy, asthma, autoimmune diseases, tumors, organ transplantation and chronic infections has led to a variety of targeted therapeutic approaches. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) has been used for 100 years as a desensitizing therapy for allergic diseases and represents the potentially curative and specific way of t...
