title: [An immunologic evaluation of Polish pollen extract Catalet "C" and Catalet "D" in patients with pollinosis].
abstract: In a group of 41 hay fever and/or seasonal asthma patients, sensitive to weed or tree pollens the influence of specific immunotherapy (sIT) on the level of IgE, specific IgE and IgG4, and HR induced by anti-IgE and specific allergens was evaluated. It was shown that both allergenic extracts, Catalet C and Catalet D, are really immunogenic, which is manifested in a decrease in specific IgE and in a marked increase in specific IgG4, after 2 years of sIT. In comparison with the placebo, the sensitivity of blood basophils to both specific allergens and non-specific factors significantly decreased.
