Peach allergy is prevalent, persistent, and potentially severe and as such is a target for immunotherapy. Our aims were to evaluate the profile of sensitization to Rosaceae allergens and the effects of sublingual peach immunotherapy on immunoglobulin (Ig) E levels to these allergens, to monitor for neosensitizations, and to check if this treatment modified other Rosaceae fruit and pollen-related sensitizations.
A double-blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 56 peach-allergic patients who received, sublingually, a standardized peach extract quantified in mass units of Pru p 3, or placebo for 6 months. IgE to recombinant (r) Mal d 1, rMal d 4, rPru p 3, and natural (n) Art v 3 and skin prick test (SPT) reactivity to Platanus pollen and apple extracts evaluated before treatment (T0), after 1 month (T1) and after and 6 months (T6) were recorded.
In total, 18.5% of patients recognized rMal d 1, 83.3%, rPru p 3, 24.1%, rMal d 4, and 25.9% nArt v 3. IgE to Pru p 3 rose from T0 to T1 in both the active group (P = .003) and the placebo group (P = .022), and remained elevated at T6 in the active group (P = .001). IgE to other purified allergens did not change significantly and no relevant neosensitizations were detected. SPT reactions to peach decreased from T0 to T6 in the active group (P < 0.05). Reactivity to peach (T1 and T6) and apple (T6) was lower in the active group than in the control group.
The main allergen was Pru p 3. Changes in rPru p 3 IgE levels and in peach and apple extract SPT were induced by sublingual immunotherapy.
桃过敏较为常见,且持续时间长,潜在风险大,因此成为免疫治疗的目标。我们的目的是评估蔷薇科过敏原致敏情况,以及舌下含服桃免疫治疗对这些过敏原的免疫球蛋白(Ig)E 水平的影响,监测新的致敏情况,并检查这种治疗是否改变了其他蔷薇科水果和花粉相关的致敏情况。
对 56 名桃过敏患者进行了一项双盲安慰剂对照试验,这些患者接受了标准化的桃提取物(以质量单位 Pru p 3 进行定量)或安慰剂,通过舌下途径给药,共 6 个月。在治疗前(T0)、治疗后 1 个月(T1)和 6 个月(T6)时,记录患者对重组(r)Mal d 1、rMal d 4、rPru p 3、天然(n)Art v 3 的 IgE 以及对 Platanus 花粉和苹果提取物的皮肤点刺试验(SPT)反应。
共有 18.5%的患者识别出 rMal d 1,83.3%的患者识别出 rPru p 3,24.1%的患者识别出 rMal d 4,25.9%的患者识别出 nArt v 3。无论是在治疗组还是安慰剂组,患者的 Pru p 3 IgE 水平都从 T0 升高到 T1(P =.003),且在治疗组中仍保持升高至 T6(P =.001)。其他纯化过敏原的 IgE 水平没有明显变化,也没有发现相关的新致敏情况。SPT 对桃的反应从 T0 到 T6 在治疗组中降低(P < 0.05)。治疗组对桃(T1 和 T6)和苹果(T6)的反应均低于对照组。
主要过敏原是 Pru p 3。舌下免疫治疗可诱导 rPru p 3 IgE 水平以及桃和苹果提取物 SPT 的变化。
