Immunostimulatory sequences of DNA and conjugates in the treatment of allergic rhinitis

Immunostimulatory sequences of DNA and conjugates in the treatment of allergic rhinitis Therapeutic strategies based on the use of Immunostimulatory sequences of DNA containing a CpG motif (also known as ISS DNA, or CpG DNA) are focused on minimizing the allergenicity of immunotherapy while improving its effectiveness. Several ISS DNA-based methods of immunization (ISS DNA alone, ISS DNA conjugated to a protein allergen) have shown promise in animal models of asthma, and some of these ISS DNA-based therapies have entered clinical trials. These ongoing clinical trials will help to determine whether any of these ISS DNA-based therapies are safe and effective to use in subjects with allergic rhinitis and asthma. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Current Allergy and Asthma Reports Springer Journals

Abstract

Therapeutic strategies based on the use of Immunostimulatory sequences of DNA containing a CpG motif (also known as ISS DNA, or CpG DNA) are focused on minimizing the allergenicity of immunotherapy while improving its effectiveness. Several ISS DNA-based methods of immunization (ISS DNA alone, ISS DNA conjugated to a protein allergen) have shown promise in animal models of asthma, and some of these ISS DNA-based therapies have entered clinical trials. These ongoing clinical trials will help to determine whether any of these ISS DNA-based therapies are safe and effective to use in subjects with allergic rhinitis and asthma.
