Allergen-specific intralymphatic immunotherapy in human and animal studies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Clinical trials of intralymphatic immunotherapy (ILIT) have been performed to overcome the limitations of long-term therapy and the local or systemic hypersensitivity reactions in conventional allergen-specific immunotherapy, including subcutaneous or sublingual immunotherapy. Additionally, several animal studies of ILIT have been conducted in the form of translational or veterinary research. We conducted a literature review to examine the treatment efficacy and adverse effects of ILIT.

Intralymphatic allergen administration renders specific immunotherapy faster and safer: a randomized controlled trial.
The only causative treatment for IgE-mediated allergies is allergen-specific immunotherapy. However, fewer than 5% of allergy patients receive immunotherapy because of its long duration and risk of allergic side effects. We aimed at enhancing s.c. immunotherapy by direct administration of allergen into s.c. lymph nodes. The objective was to evaluate safety and efficacy compared with conventiona...

Background Allergen specific immunotherapy is an effective treatment of allergic rhinitis. It is most commonly administered as repeated subcutaneous injections or as a daily sublingual tablet during 3-5 years. In order to shorten the treatment duration previous studies have evaluated the use of intralymphatic injections (ILIT) with promising results. This study assesses safety and efficacy of I...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW IgE-mediated allergy can be treated by subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy (SCIT). However, the percentage of allergic patients undergoing SCIT is low, mainly due to the long duration of the therapy and the risk of severe systemic allergic reactions associated with the allergen administration. Typically, SCIT requires dozens of subcutaneous allergen injections that st...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW Animal studies published within the past 18 months were assessed, focusing on innate and specific immunomodulation, providing knowledge of high translational relevance for human atopic and allergic diseases. RECENT FINDINGS Allergic companion animals represent alternative models, but most studies were done in mice. Atopic dermatitis mouse models were refined by the utilizati...

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...
