Summary

Allergen-specific immunotherapy is the only causal therapy of Immunoglobulin E-induced allergies like allergic rhinoconjunctivitis. Despite progress during the last decades it is limited by a long treatment time and high non-responder frequency. Based on experimental and epidemiological evidences we hypothesize that vitamin D can act as an effective immunomodulatory adjuvant to overcome these limitations.
