These results suggest that vaccination with DNA encoding T-cell epitopes effectively inhibits allergen-induced IgE synthesis and reduces cell infiltration in lung tissue. Thus, gene therapy using T-cell epitope-encoding DNA presents an ideal way of combating allergic disease in the future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
