Allergy Attacks
Physician Law Weekly, 1/25/2006

A recombinant multi-allergen vaccine with reduced IgE binding and
preserved T cell epitopes prevents allergy attacks.

According to recent research published in the European Journal of
Immunology, "Novel approaches for the prevention of allergy are
required, because of the inevitably increasing prevalence of allergic
diseases during the last 30 years."

Fariba Karamloo at the Swiss Institute of Allergy and Asthma Research
and collaborators throughout the world announced, "A recombinant
chimeric protein, which comprises the whole amino acid sequences of
three bee venom major allergens has been engineered and used in
prevention of bee venom sensitization in mice." . . .
