Abstract
Purpose of review: While there are compelling arguments for developing subcutaneous allergen-specific immunotherapy for alleviation of food allergies, there is a limited number of studies in the public domain. The review seeks to present the approaches taken, to explain the paucity of studies, and to identify new roads for development.
Recent findings: A literature search revealed clinical trials of immunotherapy of food allergies to fish and peanut, but studies had limited patient numbers, short treatment courses and follow-up periods. Indications, but no clearcut effects, were seen with both classical allergen extracts and hypo-allergenic preparations. A special case is the influence on cross-reactive food allergies, when subcutaneously administered birch-pollen extracts are used for treatment of birch pollen hayfever and/or asthma. Again indications, but no convincing efficacy has been registered. Newer developments include recombinant hypoallergens and DNA-technologies. Subcutaneous immunotherapy for food allergies has not matured to provide clinically relevant treatment opportunities.
综述的目的：虽然开发皮下过敏原特异性免疫疗法以缓解食物过敏症的论点令人信服，但公开领域的研究数量有限。本综述旨在介绍所采取的方法，解释研究数量少的原因，并找出新的发展道路：文献检索发现了针对鱼类和花生食物过敏的免疫疗法临床试验，但研究的患者人数有限，疗程短，随访期短。传统的过敏原提取物和低过敏原制剂都有适应症，但效果不明显。皮下注射桦树花粉提取物治疗桦树花粉花粉热和/或哮喘，对交叉反应性食物过敏的影响是一个特例。这也是一种适应症，但没有令人信服的疗效。新的发展包括重组低过敏原和 DNA 技术。针对食物过敏的皮下免疫疗法尚未成熟，无法提供临床相关的治疗机会。
期刊介绍：
The aim of Current Allergy and Asthma Reports is to systematically provide the views of highly selected experts on current advances in the fields of allergy and asthma and highlight the most important papers recently published. All reviews are intended to facilitate the understanding of new advances in science for better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of allergy and asthma.
We accomplish this aim by appointing international experts in major subject areas across the discipline to review select topics emphasizing recent developments and highlighting important new papers and emerging concepts. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Over a one- to two-year period, readers are updated on all the major advances in allergy and asthma.
