Practicability and safety of intralymphatic allergenspecific immunotherapy in dogs with atopic dermatitis. Hatzmann K, Mueller RS. 3 low dose i.ln. vs. 30 high dose s.c. intralymphatic allergen-specific immunotherapy is an interesting and safe alternative to subcutaneous administration. A more prominent decrease of pruritus score, CADESI (Canine Atopic Dermatitis Extent and Severity Index) and total score was noted in the trial group Vet Dermatol 2011
Antibodies of all four isotypes, IgG 1, IgG 2, IgA, and IgM, increased in dry secretions following immunization via lymph node.
Conclusions ILIT vs SCIT Low allergen doses Improved safety Enhanced immunogenicity Fewer injections Practically painless Enhanced compliance
