Summary: | Background
Molecular antibody reactivity profiles have not yet been studied in depth in patients treated by sublingual house dust mite (HDM) tablet immunotherapy. Humoral immune responses to a large panel of HDM mite allergens were studied using allergen microarray technology in a subset of clinically defined high and low responder patients from a double‐blind placebo‐controlled allergen‐specific immunotherapy (AIT) trial using sublingual 300 IR HDM tablets.
Methods
Serum levels of IgE, IgG and IgG4 to 13 Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus molecules were measured at baseline and after 1‐year AIT, using allergen microarrays in 100 subjects exhibiting high or low clinical benefit.
Results
Der p 1, Der p 2 and Der p 23 were the most frequently recognized allergens in the study population. Patients with HDM‐related asthma had significantly higher allergen‐specific IgE levels to Der p 1 and Der p 23. No significant difference in the distribution of allergen sensitization pattern was observed between high and low responders. An increase in serum allergen‐specific IgG and IgG4 occurred upon AIT, in particular to allergens Der p 1, Der p 2 and Der p 23 (p |
