Abstract

An effective specific immunotherapy should contain elements to generate specific recognition (T-cell peptides) and to modulate the immunological response towards a Th1/Treg pattern by enhancing dendritic cells (DCs). We propose a novel sublingual immunotherapy for peach allergy, using systems, that combine Prup3-T-cell peptides with mannose dendrons (D 1 ManPrup3 and D 4 ManPrup3). Peach anaphylactic mice were treated 1, 2 and 5 nM concentrations. Tolerance was assessed one/five weeks after finishing treatment by determining in vivo/in vitro parameters after challenge with Prup3. Only mice receiving D 1 ManPrup3 at 2 nM were protected from anaphylaxis (no temperature changes, decrease in Prup3-sIgE and -sIgG1 antibody levels, and secreting cells) compared to PBS-treated mice. Moreover, an increase of Treg-cells and regulatory cytokines (IL-10 + /IFN-γ + ) in CD4 + -T-cells and DCs were found. These changes were maintained at least five weeks after stopping treatment. D 1 ManPrup3 is an effective new approach of immunotherapy inducing protection from anaphylaxis which persists after finishing treatment.
