Background: Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) has been a cornerstone treatment for allergic rhinitis (AR) for over 50 years, consistently demonstrating symptom reduction and modulation of immune responses. Despite this, the underlying mechanisms responsible for the efficacy of SCIT remain incompletely understood, especially with regard to local immune responses in lymph nodes and nasal mucosa.
Aim: To determine the impact of SCIT treatment on immunoglobulin production in blood and nasal mucosa, as well as B cell class-switching in blood and lymph nodes.

The cutaneous route exploits the immunocompetence of the skin, making it a favourable route for allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT), but there must be a balance between minimal skin disruption and precise allergen delivery. Thus, we propose the use of powder-laden microneedles (pMNs) for the sustained epidermal delivery of powdery hypoallergens and immunomodulators. In this study, targeted hypoallergenic derivatives, namely, mannan-ovalbumin (mOVA) conjugates, were synthesized in a single-step process.

The zinc containing matrix metalloproteinase enzyme regulates a diverse array of biological processes in health and disease, including ADAM17 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain 17) enzyme. Due to its large substrate profile, ADAM17 is known to regulate diverse pathways of inflammation and adaptive immunity. However, the role of ADAM17 in modulating the pathogenesis of type 2 allergic asthma is largely unknown.

Background: Skin allergies are among the most frequent types of allergies, where continuous investigation of the pathological immune mechanisms is required for a better understanding and a more effective treatment of the disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of interleukin (IL)-5 vaccination on allergen-specific IgE antibodies as well as T cell cytokine modulation in skin allergy using a mouse model and a naturally occurring disease in horses.
Methods: Ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice, as well as horses affected by equine insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) were administered an anti-IL-5 vaccination, and allergen-specific IgE and IgG were quantified in the blood.

Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction that can occur through both IgE- and non-IgE-mediated pathways. The classic IgE-mediated pathway involves allergen-specific IgE binding to FcεRI on mast cells and basophils, triggering degranulation and the release of inflammatory mediators. Non-IgE-mediated mechanisms, which are commonly associated with drug-induced reactions, at least in mice, involve the activation of the G-protein-coupled receptor (MRGPRX2), triggering mast cell degranulation in an IgE independent manner.
