Mechanism of action
AllerT uses synthetic peptides derived from major allergen epitopes to induce immune tolerance and reduce allergic responses. The therapy works by shifting the immune response away from IgE-mediated reactions toward regulatory T cell activation and IgG-blocking antibody production, thereby desensitizing patients to their specific allergens.
Approved indications
- Allergic rhinitis and asthma (grass pollen allergy)
