An editorial article has appeared in The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology on the novel allergoids conjugated with mannan developed by INMUNOTEK.
“Dendritic cell targeting using C-type lectins for the improvement of allergen immunotherapy“
by Stefan Schülke, PhD, Stefan Vieths, PhD. Paul-Ehrlich-Institut, Langen, Hessen, Germany
In this editorial the authors remark the immunomodulating properties of the novel allergoid-mannan glycoconjugates and their potential impact for the development of novel vaccines for allergy immunotherapy.
