Hyposensitisation Therapy in Allergy: The Possible Existence and Isolation of Hyporeactive Allergens.
Abstract
Apart from the chemotherapeutic approach to the treatment of allergy, specific therapy is practised in the form of hyposensitisation by injection of identified specific allergens. The latter therapy has certain drawbacks which could be overcome, if it were possible to produce injectible allergens with reduced reactivity but unimpaired immunogenicity. A claim for the existance of such substances in grass pollens and success at isolating them is made by Dr. Rosa Augustin, whose claims are analysed in the exploratory report. (Author)
