increasing doses of allergen extract to an
allergic subject to ameliorate the
symptoms associated with the subsequent
exposure to the causative allergen
• M.A. : blunting of seasonal rise in IgE antibodies
• increase in serum IgG
• Down regulation of the cellular and inflammatory
mediator
• up regulation of counter regulatory cytokines
18. • Inadequate response to usual therapy
• Persitent symptoms
• Documented sensitivity
• Future exposure of allergen is unavoidable
• Coexisting sinusiis , asthama
