AN INNOVATIVE CAUSAL THERAPY FOR ALLERGY: SAFE AND RAPID INDUCTION OF AN ANTI-INFLAMMATORY IMMUNE RESPONSE USING A MUTANT HYPOALLERGEN AND VITAMIN D3 (BM4SIT)
Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,
Allergy is the most prevalent chronic inflammatory disease, having great socio-economic impact. Chronic lifelong dependency on symptomatic drugs is an expensive reality for the vast majority of allergy sufferers. Allergen-specific immunotherapy is the only causal and effective treatment targeting the underlying immune mechanism in a more cost-effective way. Yet, long treatment duration and risk of ...

TOWARDS SAFE AND EFFECTIVE IMMUNOTHERAPY OF PERSISTENT LIFE-THREATENING FOOD ALLERGIES (FAST)
Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: May 31, 2017,
The FAST project aims at the development of safe and effective treatment of food allergies. It targets persistent and severe allergy to fish and fruit. Besides persistence and severity, this choice is based on prevalence and the importance of these foods for a healthy diet. Classical allergen-specific immunotherapy (SIT) for treatment of food allergy using subcutaneous injections with food extract ...

Post-infectious immune reprogramming and its association with persistence and chronicity of respiratory allergic diseases (PreDicta)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2016,
Chronic inflammatory diseases associated with allergy, including asthma and rhinitis, constitute a major and continuously growing public health concern for Europe. However, the causative factors and mechanisms converting a physiological inflammatory reaction to a chronic response triggering allergic disease remain elusive.Viral infections, particularly those caused by human rhinoviruses (RV) are t ...

Mechanisms of the Development of ALLergy (MEDALL)
Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: May 31, 2015,
Causes explaining the epidemic of IgE-associated (allergic) diseases are unclear. MeDALL (Mechanisms of the Development of Allergy) aims at generating novel knowledge on mechanisms of allergy initiation, in particular in childhood. To understand how a complex network of genetic and environmental factors leads to complex allergic phenotypes, a novel stepwise, large and integrative translational app ...
