secale cereale allergen extract

Secale cereale allergen extract is an extract derived from the pollen of rye (Secale cereale). It is utilized for both the diagnosis of rye pollen allergy and for allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT). For diagnostic purposes, the extract is administered via a skin prick test; a positive wheal-and-flare reaction in a sensitized individual confirms the presence of specific IgE antibodies. [18, 19, 25] As a therapeutic agent, progressively larger doses are given to the patient, typically through subcutaneous injection, to induce immunological tolerance and mitigate allergic symptoms upon environmental exposure to rye pollen. [18] LETI Pharma, the sponsor of the clinical trial referenced in the provided context, is a known developer of allergenic extracts for both diagnostic and therapeutic applications. [22, 23, 26]
