| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a method of production of formaldehyde, and lower saturated aliphatic dialdehyde-treated allergens suitable for the immunotherapy (desensitization) of individuals suffering from allergies of the immediate type in a plurality of steps wherein said formaldehyde and/or said dialdehyde is utilized alone or in combination for the modification of allergen-containing materials. These lower saturated aliphatic mono- and dialdehyde treated allergen-containing materials are useful in ameliorating the symptoms of allergic (atopic) people. Also, they are able to induce formation of blocking antibody in mammals which cross-reacts with the native allergen-containing materials. Reactions with formaldehyde are carried out in a non-phenolic environment in a plurality of steps. The reaction involving combinations of aldehydes can be carried out in a single step. |
