Alters antigen presenting cells 3. Th2 Th1/Treg response 4. Antibody isotype switching a. IgE to IgG4 ii. Allergen Specific Immunotherapy 1. Pros a. Patient specific b. Addressing underlying immune disease c. Minimal long-term side effects d. ~70% effective e. Sublingual or subcutaneous f. Prevents sensitization to other allergens??? 2. Cons a months to efficacy b. Moderate expense c. ~30% of failure 3. Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) a. Made specific for each patient b. Aqueous allergens i. Requires refrigeration c allergens per vaccine d. Less frequent i. Every 7-21 days ii. Concentration buildup over ~3 months e. Requires needle/syringe handling 4. Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) a. Made specific for each patient b. Glycerinated allergens c allergens per vaccine d. More frequent i. Once to twice daily ii. Concentration buildup over ~3 months e. Specialized bottle iii. Regionally Specific Immunotherapy (RESPIT)
4 1. Standard set of allergens in vx for each region 2. No allergy testing required 3. 18% improvement after a year a. ~70% improvement with ASIT 4. Exposure to new allergens may lead to further sensitization iv. Side Effects of Immunotherapy 1. Pruritus 2. Urticaria 3. Injection site reaction 4. Vomiting/diarrhea 5. Anaphylaxis v. Troubleshooting 1. Reaction during escalation phase a. Reduce concentration b. Decrease frequency c. Discontinue if reaction persists 2. Partial improvement after 1 yr a. Can add second vx 3.
