pubmed:abstractText
A line of novel therapeutic approaches that try to interfere more specifically with the immunological mechanisms underlying allergen-induced pathology are currently undergoing clinical evaluation. The most advanced of these is anti-IgE, which directly targets IgE serum antibodies, thus inhibiting the central mechanism of immediate type hypersensitivity reactions. In addition, a lot of interest has recently been focused on allergen-specific immunotherapy due to its potential to cure allergic diseases. In the present review, state-of-the-art treatment of allergic diseases with anti-IgE and allergen-specific immunotherapy is summarized, and the potential of combination therapy with both treatment options is discussed.
