antigen-specific therapy

Antigen-specific therapy is a treatment approach that targets and trains the immune system to recognize and respond to particular substances, such as allergens or parts of pathogens, associated with a disease. Instead of broadly suppressing the immune response, it introduces controlled amounts of the relevant antigen to desensitize or modulate immune activity. This method aims to reduce harmful immune reactions while preserving overall immune function, making it a precise way to treat conditions like allergies or autoimmune disorders by focusing on the specific triggers involved.
