Antigen-specific immunotherapy of autoimmune and allergic diseases
Nearly a century has passed since the first report describing antigen-specific immunotherapy (antigen-SIT) was published. Research into the use of antigen-SIT in the treatment of both allergic and autoimmune disease has increased dramatically since, although its mechanism of action is only slowly being unravelled. It is clear though, from recent studies, that success of antigen-SIT depends on t...
متن کاملInduction of pulmonary allergic responses by antigen-specific Th2 cells.
The development of pulmonary allergic responses was examined in mice following pulmonary transfer of Ag (conalbumin)-specific Th2 cells. The levels of serum-specific IgE, cellular infiltrates, airway mucus goblet cells, and airway responsiveness were analyzed and compared with those in Ag-sensitized and -challenged mice. Pulmonary transfer of the conalbumin-specific Th2 clone (D10) induced, in ...

متن کاملAntigen-specific Treg cells in immunological tolerance: implications for allergic diseases
Allergic diseases are chronic inflammatory disorders in which there is failure to mount effective tolerogenic immune responses to inciting allergens. The alarming rise in the prevalence of allergic diseases in recent decades has spurred investigations to elucidate the mechanisms of breakdown in tolerance in these disorders and means of restoring it. Tolerance to allergens is critically dependen...
متن کاملImmunotherapy - Vaccines for allergic diseases.
Allergic diseases are some of the most commonly encountered problems in clinical practice. Drugs such as corticosteroids and antihistamines can provide effective symptomatic relief, but do not alter the course of the disease. Specific immunotherapy (SIT) was first used to treat pollen allergy in 1911, and has since evolved into an effective treatment for allergic rhinitis and asthma. SIT has be...
