Update on Allergen Immunotherapy

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2019
Allergen immunotherapy has been used for many years in dogs and cats and is the only specific treatment of atopic dermatitis that changes the patho-mechanisms of disease by stimulating allergen tolerance. Subcutaneous administration of allergens is the most commonly used administration route, typically in increasing concentrations (induction period ...

Engineered allergens for immunotherapy

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2004
Specific immunotherapy is a clinically effective causative treatment for allergic conditions. However, the reagents used for immunotherapy are crude extracts prepared from natural sources with potential life-threatening anaphylactic side effects. Molecular cloning of allergens has made it feasible to design novel therapeutic approaches for improved and

Standardized allergen extracts for allergen immunotherapy

Allergy and Asthma Proceedings, 2022
Nineteen U.S. allergen extracts were standardized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) between 1987 and 1998, including of two house-dust mites, short ragweed, cat hair and cat pelt, seven temperate and one southern grass, and six Hymenoptera venom preparations.

Allergen-specific immunotherapy

Immunology Letters, 2009
Allergy is a significant health problem in industrialized countries and its prevalence is continually on the increase: In 1906, when Clemens von Pirquet introduced the term "allergy" to describe overwhelming pathological reactions of the body caused by contact with antigens, less than 1% of the population were affected.
