Allergen-specific sublingual immunotherapy: less mystic, more scientific

Lung-derived innate cytokines: new epigenetic targets of allergen-specific sublingual immunotherapy

Objective(s):Sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy is a safe and effective method for treatment of IgE-mediated respiratory allergies; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study was planned to test whether sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) can exert epigenetic mechanisms through which the airway allergic responses can be extinguished. Materials and Methods:BALB/c...

Allergen-specific immunotherapy

Allergen-specific immunotherapy is a potentially disease-modifying therapy that is effective for the treatment of allergic rhinitis/conjunctivitis, allergic asthma and stinging insect hypersensitivity. However, despite its proven efficacy in these conditions, it is frequently underutilized in Canada. The decision to proceed with allergen-specific immunotherapy should be made on a case-by-case b...

Commentary: Sublingual Allergen Immunotherapy in HIV-Positive Patients

I read with great interest the Brief Communication by Iemoli et al., on the latest issue of Allergy, where the authors reported that HIV-patients, undergoing anti-retroviral therapy (HAART) and sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) to grass-pollen allergy, reported clinical benefits. The authors evaluated the outcome by the analysis of total combined score (TCS) and a quality of life (QoL) questionna...
