Isoforms of atopic allergens with reduced allergenicity but conserved T cell antigenicity: possible use for specific immunotherapy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Helper T cells are involved in chronic eosinophilic inflammation. Control of cytokine production seems to be an effective management. METHODS:The effect of nonactin, SB203580, a p38 MAP kinase inhibitor, and JTE-711 on the cytokine production of allergen-specific T cell clones was determined. The effect of ...
