Allergic side effects give rise to a modification of the immunotherapy. Variation of the injection protocol and/or prophylactic application of antihistamines are successful in many patients. Combined active and passive immunotherapy is helpful only in a part of the remaining cases; this therapy is expensive and practicable only in few specialized clinics. Up to date a superior tolerance together with an at least equal efficacy as compared to conventional aqueous extracts has not been demonstrated either for aluminium precipitated or for chemically modified extracts.

Tumor Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is a treatment that boosts or manipulates the immune system to fight diseases, including cancer. For instance, by stimulating an immune response through vaccinations against viruses that cause cancers, like hepatitis B virus and human papillomavirus, these diseases can be prevented. Nonetheless, some cancer cells can avoid the immune system due to their rapid mutation and division. The immune response to many cancers involves three phases: elimination, equilibrium, and escape.
