Abstract
Effect of specific immunotherapy on the expression of activation markers, apoptosis marker CD95, and peripheral blood lymphocyte morphology were studied in patients with atopic bronchial asthma. Specific therapy activated T and B cells and triggered lymphocyte apoptosis. Apoptosis may play an important role in induction of allergen tolerance during specific therapy.
