Allergen immunotherapy mechanism
- Molecular classification
- Other
01
Overview
Allergen immunotherapy mechanism refers to the process by which repeated and gradually increasing exposure to a specific allergen leads to immune system desensitization, shifting the immune response towards tolerance, reducing Th2-driven allergic inflammation, increasing regulatory T cell (Treg) activity, and rebalancing antibody profiles from IgE to blocking IgG4. This therapeutic approach modifies the course of IgE-mediated allergic diseases by targeting the immune processes underlying hypersensitivity[1][2][3][4][5][6].

Mechanism of action
Induction of peripheral tolerance using escalating doses of allergen; Generation of regulatory T cells (Treg/Tr1); Cytokine shift to IL-10, TGF-β; Immunoglobulin isotype switch from IgE to IgG4/IgA; Suppression of mast cell and basophil activity
