Abstract

Novel approaches to the treatment and prevention of IgE-mediated food allergy include anti-IgE, food allergy vaccines, herbal preparations, and probiotics. They bring real hope to the patients for whom no specific therapy is available. These immunomodulatory therapies have to be evaluated carefully for potential side effects, such as overstimulation of T helper cell type 1 immune antibodies. Animal models of food allergy are invaluable in testing new therapies for food allergy.
