Polymerized Subcutaneous Treatment

Lower risk of adverse reactions

Faster administration

Decreased allergenicity

No aluminium hydroxide

Allergenic Characterisation

Phleum pratense - native extract

By means of chromatography (nano-HPLC) and mass spectrometry, the proteins present in the native and polymerized extracts are separated and subsequently identified.

 

Phleum pratense - polymerized extract

The polymerized extract of Phleum presents the same allergens, with their isoforms, as the native extract.

Immunogenic Capacity

Titration of IgG antibodies against Phleum pratense

Animal model in rabbits to check the immunogenic character of a polymerized extract of Phleum pratense.

The immunogenic profile of a polymerized extract of Phleum pratense is similar to that of a native extract of Phleum.

2. Polymerized extract of Phleum pratense

SDS Page:
Native extract of Phleum pratense – reveals all allergens described for this species
Polymerized extract of Phleum pratense – no proteins between 10-250 kDa found

Immunoblotting:
Serum of patients sensitised to Phleum pratense mostly recognise Phl p 1, 4 and 5 allergens of native extract, but do not recognise polymerized extract

Reduced allergenicity of polymerized extract

ELISA Inhibition

ELISA inhibition of a native extract in the solid phase and native and polymerized extracts as inhibitors.

The IgE binding capacity of a polymerized extract is much lower than the IgE binding capacity of a native extract.
