Abstract
The reader can find the up-to-date information on allergens and their nomenclature, subcutaneous and sublingual methods of allergen-specific therapy (ASIT), mechanisms of action of ASIT, clinical efficacy, etc. There is an explanation why the ASIT as a modality of treatment for atopic allergic conditions is more important and be predominant in the near future.
