Immune System (desensitization to timothy grass pollen)

Desensitization to timothy grass pollen targets the immune system, specifically aiming to reduce or eliminate allergic responses in individuals sensitized to this common environmental allergen. The process is achieved through allergen immunotherapy, which can be administered via subcutaneous injections (allergy shots) or sublingual tablets/extracts. The goal is to retrain the immune system so that it becomes tolerant of timothy grass pollen, thereby reducing symptoms of allergic rhinitis and asthma during pollen season.

Gradual reprogramming from allergic inflammation toward immune tolerance by introducing gradually increasing amounts of timothy grass pollen allergens, leading to reduced IgE production and increased regulatory T cell activity.
