Proposed mechanisms of OIT |
---|
Reduced activation of basophils and mast cells |
Generation of IgG4 blocking antibody |
Decrease in IgE synthesis |
T cell anergy |
Depletion of specific Th2 Cells |
Re-education of specific Th2 cells with switch to Th1 or Tr1 |
Induction of regulatory T cells |
Induction of regulatory B cells |
Induction of tolerogenic dendritic cells |
