The introduction of standardized extracts has led to a better approach to specific immunotherapy. Thanks to improved extract quality, it has become possible to transfer results from clinical research and experience into clinical practice. Previously, lack of standardization was a main source of dubious results and the lack of success of specific immunotherapy (SIT).
