Pharmacological targeting of allergen-specific T lymphocytes
چکیده انگلیسی


- Classic anti-allergic and anti-asthmatic drugs frequently target Th cell responses.
- Allergic patients might benefit from classic immunosuppressive drugs other than GC.
- Novel targeted drugs impact on allergen-specific Th cell function.

Allergic disorders are the result of a complex pathophysiology, involving major cellular lineages and a multitude of humoral factors of the innate and adaptive immune system, and have the tendency to involve multiple organs. Consequently, even standard pharmacological treatment of allergies is rarely specific but usually targets more than one pathway/cellular system at a time. Accordingly, many of the classic anti-allergic drugs have a critical impact also on T helper cells, which are pivotal not only during the sensitization but also the maintenance phase of allergic diseases. Recent years have seen a dramatic increase of novel drugs with the potency to interfere, more or less specifically, with T lymphocyte function, which might, possibly together with classic anti-allergic drugs, help harnessing one of the central cellular players in allergic responses. A major theme in the years to come will be a thoughtful combination of previously established with recently developed treatment modalities.
