S Benjaponpitak, A Oro, P Maguire… - Journal of allergy and …, 1999 - Elsevier
Background: The effect of conventional allergen immunotherapy on allergen-specific T
lymphocyte cytokine production is incompletely understood, particularly during the initial
phase of treatment. Objective: The purpose of this study was to prospectively follow the
kinetics of change in CD4+ T cell cytokine secretion during the course of conventional
immunotherapy. Methods: Six allergic individuals were treated with extracts of
Dermatophagoides farinae/Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus or with rye grass pollen …
