Diversity of Human Allergen-Specific IgE and Defining Epitope Recognition of Allergic Subjects that are to Undergo Allergen-Specific Immunotherapy
Grass pollen allergies caused by Timothy grass affect the lives of many people and have a huge economic impact on our society. Hypersensitivity reactions are triggered by allergens and allergen-specific IgE, leading to degranulation of mast cells releasing bioactive compounds causing allergic symptoms. Improvement of allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) involving gradual exposure to the allergen
