The research progress of mechanism of allergen immunotherapy in allergic rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis（AR） is a chronic non-infectious nasal mucosal disease mediated by IgE. It can be divided into seasonal and perennial according to the types of allergens.At present, there are many treatments for AR, among which allergen immunotherapy（AIT） is the only treatment option that can change the natural process of AR.AIT can improve innate immune response by reducing local hypertrophy, eosinophils, basophils and type 2 innate lymphocytes, and affect various T cells, B cells and many cytokines to regulate adaptive immunity. The mechanism of AIT on immune response is complex.In this review, the mechanism of immunotherapy on the innate and adaptive immunity of AR patients is highlighted, hoping to further understand the immunotherapy pathway of AR, and provide more theoretical basis for immunotherapy of AR.
