Peanut allergy: Beyond the oral immunotherapy plateau
Background There are a lack of disease‐modifying treatments for peanut allergy, which is lifelong in most instances. Oral immunotherapy has remained at the forefront of prospective treatments, though its efficacy is consistently undermined by the risk of

Clinical effectiveness of hymenoptera venom immunotherapy [PDF]
Treatment failure during venom immunotherapy (VIT) may be associated with a variety of risk factors. Our aim was to evaluate the association of baseline serum tryptase concentration (BTC) and of other parameters with the frequency of VIT failure during ...

Eosinophilic Esophagitis as a Side Effect of Food Oral Immunotherapy
Food allergies (FAs) include a spectrum of immune-mediated serious and potentially life-threatening medical conditions with an overall estimated prevalence ranging from 4% to 8% in the U.S. and Europe.

Immune mechanisms of oral immunotherapy [PDF]
Oral immunotherapy (OIT) has demonstrated reproducibly successful desensitization in patients with food allergy completing clinical trials and, in some studies, sustained unresponsiveness. These clinical outcomes have been associated with characteristic modifications in the allergen-specific immune response, but a detailed synthesis of OIT's mechanisms

Food allergy oral immunotherapy
Food allergy oral immunotherapy (OIT) has demonstrated efficacy in promoting clinically relevant immunomodulation that leads to desensitization (reduced reactivity while on OIT) in the majority of treated individuals; however, sustained unresponsiveness after OIT cessation for a specified interval has only been observed in a subset.

Effect of Oral Immunotherapy on Nasal Blockage in Experimental Allergic Rhinitis
We previously reported that when Japanese cedar pollen was prophylactically p.o. administered before a sensitization stage in a guinea-pig model of allergic rhinitis, pollen-induced nasal blockage was suppressed.

Eosinophils in Eosinophilic Esophagitis: The Road to Fibrostenosis is Paved With Good Intentions
Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is an antigen-driven disease associated with epithelial barrier dysfunction and chronic type 2 inflammation. Eosinophils are the defining feature of EoE histopathology but relatively little is known about their role in ...

Mechanisms of desensitization with oral immunotherapy and epicutaneous immunotherapy
Background: Oral immunotherapy (OIT) and epicutaneous immunotherapy (EPIT) are emerging therapies for food allergy. With several recently published exploratory trials and randomized controlled clinical trials that support these procedures, there is a clear progress and interest toward making these treatment options available for allergist ...
