  • Title: [Immunomodulation therapy for allergic asthma. What is already possible, what is to come?].
    Author: Taube C, Buhl R.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 2008 Apr; 133(14):727-32. PubMed ID: 18363195.
    Abstract:
    Allergic asthma is an immunological disease characterized by certain inflammatory changes in the airways and the lung. Different approaches for immune modulation have been developed to treat this disease. Clinical approved immune modulators include the specific immune therapy (SIT) and treatment with monoclonal antibodies against IgE. Further approaches, like inhibition or modulation of T cell responses, inhibition of effector cytokines or inhibition of cell migration are very interesting but still in development and so far not established for treatment of patients.
