Abstract | Full Text | Full Text PDF | PubMed | Scopus (43) | Google ScholarSee all ReferencesThe main finding of our current study was that 3 monthly subcutaneous injections of aluminum hydroxide–adsorbed BM32 induced IgG antibody levels to the major grass pollen allergens Phl p 1, Phl p 5, and Phl p 6 in rabbits, which were comparable with natural allergen extract–based registered grass pollen allergy vaccines requiring more than 8 injections (Allergovit grass; Allergopharma, Reinbek, Germany; Alutard SQ grass mix; ALK-Abelló, H?rsholm, Denmark; and Phostal grasses + rye; Stallergenes, Antony, France; see the MethodsMethods section in this article's Online Repository at www.jacionline.org; Fig 1Fig 1), whereas almost no response was observed with Pollinex (Pollinex Quattro Plus grasses + rye; Bencard Allergie GmbH, Munich, Germany), a vaccine based on 4 injections. Importantly, BM32 induced higher levels of Phl p 2–specific IgG antibodies than any of the registered allergen extract–based vaccines (Fig 1Fig 1). We consider this an important finding because it has been shown that group 2 allergens are major grass pollen allergens recognized by more than 60% of patients with grass pollen allergy and, when compared with the other grass pollen allergens by using skin testing, were found to show high allergenic potency.5x5Westritschnig, K., Horak, F., Swoboda, I., Balic, N., Spitzauer, S., Kundi, M. et al. Different allergenic activity of grass pollen allergens revealed by skin testing. Eur J Clin Invest. 2008; 38: 260–267
Crossref | PubMed | Scopus (42) | Google ScholarSee all References Thus our results indicate that it should be possible to build up sufficient levels of grass pollen allergen–specific IgG responses with only few injections (ie, 3-5) of BM32, whereas traditional allergy vaccines require more than double the number of updosing injections. Sublingual treatment even requires daily administration. Therefore we think that the treatment schedules based on BM32 will be more convenient for patients and should increase their compliance. In the IgE inhibition experiments BM32-induced IgG blocked IgE binding to Phl p 2 significantly better than IgG antibodies induced by the commercial vaccines (P = .0008, Fig 2Fig 2). Therefore one might assume that BM32 could be superior to the extract-based vaccines regarding protection of group 2 allergen–induced symptoms. Finally, we also could demonstrate that BM32-induced antibodies inhibited specifically grass pollen allergen–induced T-cell proliferation (see the MethodsMethods section and Fig E3Fig E3 in this article's Online Repository at www.jacionline.org), which suggests that BM32 might also have beneficial effects on T cell–mediated late-phase symptoms of grass pollen allergy. However, a limitation of our study is that we performed the immunogenicity study in naive animals, and therefore there might be differences regarding already sensitized patients.
In summary, our immunogenicity studies indicate that induction of grass pollen allergen–specific protective antibody responses requires considerably fewer injections of BM32 compared with natural allergen extract–based vaccines and that the use of carrier proteins in the vaccine helps to overcome the poor immunogenicity of group 2 allergens. Given the strong reduction of allergenic activity of BM32, one might expect that BM32 represents a grass pollen allergy vaccine that could be superior to allergen extract–based vaccines.
