Study 1: Vaccination with DNA encoding human T-cell epitopes suppresses Der p induced allergic responses in mice.
According to a study from South Korea and the United States, "The apparent complexity of allergen-specific T-cell response in terms of epitope usage in humans is a potential barrier to peptide-based immunotherapy for allergy. A knowledge of cross-reacting T-cell epitopes of common allergens might have an impact on the development of vaccines for immunotherapy. We examined the efficiency of vaccinating with plasmid DNA coding only human T-cell epitopes on...
