Brighter World, McMaster University,McMaster University researchers have discovered a new treatment that could bring relief to millions of people worldwide living with peanut allergy.
“The situation with peanut allergy is that it is a life-long disease for most people. Unlike other allergies, there are no mitigating treatments like inhalers. The only available treatment is epinephrine which is given only after an allergic reaction has occurred,” said Susan Waserman, professor of medicine and director of the Division of Clinical Immunology and Allergy.She shares a lab with senior author of the new paper Manel Jordana, professor of medicine.
“In the current study, we have shown that by using an IL-4 receptor alpha blocking antibody, we can interrupt the reactivation of the immunologic memory to divert the allergic response and ultimately prevent anaphylaxis.” Jordana said the allergy-blocking antibody has already been tested for its use against asthma, eczema and nasal polyps and Regeneron, the company using it, wants to expand its use for food allergies.
