Immunoregulatory Agent for Tolerance to Food Allergies and other Allergies with Potential for Anaphylaxis

Technology Benefits

Tolerance can be obtained, in some cases, with as few as one dose Induction of antigen-specific tolerance avoiding global immune suppression Convenience of either oral or nasal delivery A range of antigens can be fused to a single ligand protein enabling tolerance to the full range of antigens that may trigger a specific allergic reaction Ability for the mucosal ligand delivery molecule to bind with almost any antigen allows the development of highly selective immunoregulatory agents to different allergies and diseases

Technology Application

Multiple sclerosis and other autoimmune diseases, Inflammatory Diseases, Allergies

Detailed Technology Description

A broad range of antigens can be fused to a single ligand protein enabling tolerance to the spectrum of antigens that can cause a particular allergy. Application of the immunoregulatory agent can mediate tolerance after a single oral dose or with minimal dosing. Studies have shown that the fusion protein can regulate peripheral tolerance to either nasal or oral delivery providing convenience and increased patient compliance. This technology could also be developed for applications in autoimmune diseases, organ transplantation and in cancer immunotherapy.
