Effect of T-cell peptides derived from Fel d 1 on allergic reactions and cytokine production in patients sensitive to cats: a randomised controlled trial
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Some patients with asthma who are allergic to cats and are injected intradermally with short, overlapping, T-cell peptides derived from Fel d 1 develop late asthmatic reactions to the peptides, which are associated with a reduction in late-phase skin reactions induced by whole allergens and bronchial hyporesponsiveness to the peptides on the second injection. We aimed to ascertain the effect of multiple injections on the magnitude …
