Basophil, mast cell desensitisation, early events related to APC (DC, B cell), effect of adjuvants. Regulation of T cells and related phenomena (Treg cells and allergen tolerance). Regulation of B cells, antibodies and related phenomena (Breg cells and IgG4 in allergen tolerance) Mechanisms of allergen-specific immunotherapy Mechanisms of allergen-specific immunotherapy Early desensitization: decrease in mast cell and basophil activity for degranulation and systemic anaphylaxis T cell tolerance induction of T Reg cells suppression of Th-Th cells - years Late desensitization: decrease in tissue mast cells and eosinophils and release of their mediators - years Type I skin test reactivity specific IgE specific IgG4 Q: which one will be the first and preferential APC to present the allergen which T cell? adjuvants, dose, place, age, status Th Q: how will the system avoid anaphylaxis as early and efficient as possible? adjuvants, dose, place, age, status mechanisms of SIT (very early events) PDC Th T reg Very early desensitization.
