New forms of allergen immunotherapy are proposed employing modified allergens that induce T-cell responses without associated increased IgE-related responses. Synthetic polyelectrolytes attached to an analyte amy modulate T- and B-cell function, producing effective desensitization and altering immunoglobulin production dependent on the physico-chemical nature of the carrier molecule.
