    Abstract There are currently no biomarkers that can accurately predict clinical outcomes and segregate responders from nonresponders in allergen immunotherapy (AIT). Therefore, identifying a reliable predictive biomarker is essential to enable clinicians to tailor personalized therapy. New developments in AIT biomarkers are currently being explored, and it would be important to identify key areas of development and their feasibility for use in the clinic. Biomarkers can be categorized broadly into seven domains: (i) Immunoglobulin E (IgE), (ii) IgG and IgA responses, (iii) IgE -facilitated allergen binding/blocking factor, (iv) basophil activation, (v) cytokines and chemokines, (vi) cellular markers, and (vii) in vivo biomarkers. Despite their potential, most biomarkers remain infeasible to be translated to the clinical setting due to requirements of complex instruments such as flow cytometry. The identification of suitable biomarkers remains key in predicting outcomes of AIT and requires more research. Additional exploration into integrative biomarkers may be required.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic inflammatory immunoglobulin (Ig) E-mediated disease of the nasal mucosa that can be triggered by the inhalation of seasonal or perennial allergens. Typical symptoms include sneezing, rhinorrhea, nasal itching, nasal congestion and symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis. AR affects a quarter of the population in the United States of America and Europe.
    Recent findings: AR has been shown to reduce work productivity in 36-59% of the patients with 20% reporting deteriorated job attendance. Moreover, 42% of children with AR report reduced at-school productivity and lower grades. Most importantly, AR impacts the patient's quality of life, due to sleep deprivation. However, a proportion of patients fails to respond to conventional medication and opts for the allergen immunotherapy (AIT), which currently is the only disease-modifying therapeutic option. AIT can be administered by either subcutaneous (SCIT) or sublingual (SLIT) route. Both routes of administration are safe, effective, and can lead to tolerance lasting years after treatment cessation. Both innate and adaptive immune responses that contribute to allergic inflammation are suppressed by AIT. Innate responses are ameliorated by reducing local mast cell, basophil, eosinophil, and circulating group 2 innate lymphoid cell frequencies which is accompanied by decreased basophil sensitivity. Induction of allergen-specific blocking antibodies, immunosuppressive cytokines, and regulatory T and B cell phenotypes are key pro-tolerogenic adaptive immune responses.
    Conclusion: A comprehensive understanding of these mechanisms is necessary for optimal selection of AIT-responsive patients and monitoring treatment efficacy. Moreover, it could inspire novel and more efficient AIT approaches.

    Abstract Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) is an effective treatment for allergic rhinitis, inducing long-term clinical tolerance to the sensitizing allergen. Clinical tolerance induction can be achieved when AIT is administered for at least 3 years. AIT is associated with the modulation of innate and adaptive immune systems. This comprises inhibition of IgE-dependent activation of mast cells and basophils in the local target organ, suppression of T

    Abstract T and B cells are key components of the adaptive immune system. Through their immune properties and their interactions with other immune cells and cytokines around them, they build a complex network to achieve immune tolerance and maintain homeostasis of the body. This is achieved through mechanisms of central and peripheral tolerance, both of which are associated with advantages and disadvantages. For this reason, the immune system is tightly regulated and their dysregulation can result in the subsequent initiation of various diseases. In this review, we will summarize the roles played by T cells and B cells within immune tolerance with specific examples in the context of different diseases that include allergic disease. In addition, we will also provide an overview on their suitability as biomarkers of allergen-specific immunotherapy.

    Abstract Monocytes and macrophages express a repertoire of cell surface P2 receptors for adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) a damage-associated molecular pattern molecule (DAMP), which are capable of raising cytoplasmic calcium when activated. This is achieved either through direct permeation (ionotropic P2X receptors) or by mobilizing intracellular calcium stores (metabotropic P2Y receptors). Here, a side-by-side comparison to investigate the contribution of P2X4 receptor activation in ATP-evoked calcium responses in model human monocytes and macrophages was performed. The expression of P2X1, P2X4, P2X5 and P2X7 was confirmed by qRT-PCR and immunocytochemistry in both model monocyte and macrophage. ATP evoked a concentration-dependent increase in intracellular calcium in both THP-1 monocyte and macrophages. The sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca

    Abstract Allergen immunotherapy (AIT) remains to be the only disease-modifying treatment for IgE-mediated allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis. It can provide long-term clinical benefits when given for 3 years or longer. Mechanisms of immune tolerance induction by AIT are underscored by the modulation of several compartments within the immune system. These include repair of disruption in epithelial barrier integrity, modulation of the innate immune compartment that includes regulatory dendritic cells and innate lymphoid cells, and adaptive immune compartments such as induction of regulatory T and B cells. Altogether, these are also associated with the dampening of allergen-specific T

    Abstract Background: Local allergic rhinitis (LAR) is defined by chronic nasal symptoms, absence of atopy, positive nasal allergen challenge (NAC) and a good response to subcutaneous allergen immunotherapy (SCIT). We sought to investigate SCIT capacity to induce local and systemic blocking antibodies in LAR patients.
    Methods: A RDBPC study of grass SCIT was performed, with participants receiving either SCIT (Group A; n = 10) or placebo (Group B; n = 14) in the first 6 months. Both groups subsequently received SCIT for 12 months at Year 2. Nasal and serum antibodies (IgG
    Results: The allergen concentration tolerated increased significantly at 6 months (Group A; p = .047) and 24 months (Group B; p = .049) compared with baseline and persisted until the end of the study. Induction of serum sIgA
    Conclusions: Grass pollen SCIT induced functional systemic blocking antibodies that correlate with the concentration of allergen tolerated following NAC, highlighting their potential as a biomarker of SCIT in LAR.
