Oral allergy syndrome (OAS) is the most common food allergy-related condition in adults. This study aimed to investigate whether subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT) with Fagales pollen-containing extracts can improve the clinical symptoms of OAS in Korea. In total, 56 OAS patients were included: 19 subjects treated with SCIT, which included Fagales pollen extracts, and 37 not treated with immunotherapy (IT).

Context: Although subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy (SCIT) is effective in allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma, it carries a risk of local and systemic adverse reactions.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the rates and clinical characteristics of local and systemic reactions (LR and SR), and to identify their relation of demographic features, allergen extracts and diagnosis.
Materials And Methods: This study analyzed the administration of SCIT from 1983 to 2013; involving 1816 patients affected by allergic asthma and/or AR.

Background: Subcutaneous immunotherapy with high dose grass pollen (typically microgram quantities) was first described over 100 years ago. This treatment suppresses allergen-induced cutaneous late responses, with lesser effects on early responses. We previously reported that repeated 2-weekly intradermal injections of grass pollen - containing approximately 7 ng of major allergen Phl p 5 - led to a progressive suppression of the allergen-induced cutaneous response, and that by the sixth injection, this was inhibited by over 90%.

Background: Engineered hypoallergens are currently being investigated for specific immunotherapy of allergic diseases in preclinical and clinical studies. Naturally occurring hypoallergens have by and large not been considered as a source of vaccine candidates.
Objective: Evaluation of the antibody response in atopic individuals induced by birch pollen containing isoforms of the major birch pollen allergen Bet v 1.

Background: Birch-pollen allergens are an important cause of early spring hay fever and allergic asthma. Recently, we reported a mechanism for the release of respirable allergenic particles from birch pollen containing the major allergen Bet v 1. In this study, we aimed to assess the immunologic significance of the released Bet v 1-containing starch granules in the environment.
