The invention relates to medicine, namely immunology and allergy, and refers to the treatment polynosis. The essence of the invention is allergotropin containing allergoid pollen allergenic plants - timothy, birch, sage, obtained by the impact on the total fraction consisting of the major and minor allergens by MV 3-90 kDa - compounds containing reactive groups of the protein, modified mainly formaldehyde, and associated polyoxidonium. For the treatment administered to the patient polynosis allergotropiny, starting with dilution 10 -4 in the course of 15 injections. The technical result is based on obtaining allergotropinov allergoidnyh forms pollen allergens having compared to the native allergen and more pronounced immunogenic allergen properties.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to medicine, namely to allergy and immunology, and relates to the treatment of allergic diseases such as hay fever.

Known formulation comprising a polymeric carrier polioksidony. For example, complex proteins gemmaglyutinina virus neuraminidase and associated with the carrier-polioksidoniem that increases immunogenicity (1).

Known drug for the treatment of hay fever, which is a culture supernatant of autologous mononuclear cells stimulated with phytohemagglutinin at a protein concentration of 150-200 ug / ml (2).

Known method of treating pollinosis and by electrophoresis endonasal drug substance, which is a culture supernatant of autologous mononuclear cells stimulated with phytohemagglutinin in an amount of 1.2 ml at a protein concentration of 150-200 ug / ml (3).

Currently, however, for specific immunotherapy (SIT) of persons who are allergic to pollen, used water-salt extracts, lack of which is the high content of ballast substances that are potential allergens, which creates a risk of the treatment - getting anaphylactic shock reactions.

The object of the present invention is to provide a highly efficient means and method for treating pollinosis using complex preparation (allergotropina) based allergoidnyh forms pollen allergens and immunomodulator - polioksidonija.

Allergotropin allergoidnyh based on pollen allergens forms polioksidonija and has, in comparison to the native allergen, more pronounced and immunogenic properties allergen (levels IgG-blocking antibodies in laboratory animals hyposensitization 3 times higher than for the native allergen desensitization).

To solve this problem and to achieve the specified technical result is proposed group of inventions united by a common inventive concept.

The drug for the treatment of allergotropin polynosis allergoid pollen contains conjugated to a synthetic immunomodulator-polioksidoniem while allergoid get exposure on the total fraction consisting of the major and minor allergens by MV = 3-90 kDa - compounds containing reactive groups of the protein, modified preferably formaldehyde.

Allergoid can be obtained by exposing the total fraction consisting of the major and minor allergens (with MW = 3-90 kDa), aldehydes or other compounds that block the protein-reactive group, in this case - with formaldehyde. Allergoid is a chemically modified pollen allergen and is superior to the latter, since the chemical modification of a decrease in the risk of allergenicity and guidance of anaphylactic shock.

A method of treatment and those who are allergic to pollen: timothy, birch, sage, using allergotropina. Allergotropin drug is administered to the patient with the dilution 10 -4 in the course of treatment up to 15 injections.

Among the therapeutic and preventive measures aimed at combating atopic allergic diseases, the most important step is the specific hyposensitization therapy, which provides Etiopatogenetichesky approach in the treatment of patients suffering from pollen allergoid. However, the use of existing commercial allergens does not satisfy all the requirements of clinicians, allergists, since the drugs have pronounced allergenic activity and in some cases encourage the emergence of local and systemic allergic reactions, especially in highly sensitive patients. These complications usually lead to the fact that the rate of pre-specific immunotherapy (SIT) becomes longer. There are barriers to achieving optimal dose prior to the final flowering season of allergenic plants, which significantly affects the effectiveness of the treatment in patients who are sensitive to pollen.

To eliminate these drawbacks aqueous pollen extracts salt chemically modified formaldehyde (4, 5), glutaraldehyde (6, 7), urea (8), polyethylene glycol (9, 10).

Processing allergen formaldehyde promotes adherence of amino acids comprising the allergen to each other. This process of condensation of the protein molecules with low molecular weight compounds that contribute to the increase in molecular weight was studied Raikis BI Voronin and NI 1987 (11). The increase in molecular weight causes allergoid adjuvant their effect on the body. The presence in the incubation medium with formaldehyde lysine and arginine, in some cases enhances immunogenicity allergoids.

Some authors believe that should be used in medicinal preparations as much as possible the complex components of pollen with allergenic activity, can cause sensitization of patients. It should be noted that regardless of the degree of purification of crude allergen can achieve drastic reduction of allergenicity and immunogenicity of conservation allergoidnyh forms allergen.

It is possible that some protein compounds, being more labile than the major allergens are inactivated during formalinizatsii.

Gomotsitotropnye antibodies are sensitive to the action of 2-mercaptoethanol, they observed a significant decrease.

Gomotsitotropnye allergoid antibody to rabbits appear at a later time, in comparison with the allergen.

Differences allergoid fractional composition and source of the allergen, as defined in gel filtration and electrophoresis explained, seem to influence the dialyzed extract formaldehyde and condensation process development, "crosslinking" high and low molecular weight components of the original allergen methylene bridges.

There is reason to believe that the low molecular weight components of the original allergen are no ballast necessary to ensure their safety in allergoid.

At the heart of manufacture allergoid on the interaction of reactive aldehyde groups with amino groups of the allergen. Formalinized allergen contains a mixture of components with different molecular weights, mainly dimers and trimers, which is due to the accession to the allergen molecule relatively low-molecular nitrogen compounds, and due to the polymerization process.

Turning allergen allergoid by chemical modification in the presence of formaldehyde, which leads to the interaction of the high and low molecular weight components, it helps to preserve the properties allergoid induce the synthesis of antibodies. This effect is enhanced by rigid and stable structure allergoid molecule resistant to the effects of denaturants unlike the original allergen, but also contributes to a prolongation of action allergoid because its destruction in the body of the patient will be slower.

N.A.Illyutovich (1983) observed that the content of the specific IgG-antibodies in patients treated allergoid, 1.7 times the level of 'blocking' antibodies in patients treated with allergen (12).

A direct relationship between the values ​​of the final dose and the content of "blocking" antibodies in patients treated with allergen.

Reduction of allergenicity of allergens in polymerized connected, on the one hand, with a decrease in the number of antigenic determinants by their reaction with aldehyde groups, on the other hand - for inaccessibility reagin other determinants hidden within the high molecular weight polymer. Positive impact on the immunogenicity has a molecular weight increase and the creation of more stringent intramolecular bonds.

Production of therapeutic allergen of high purity is costly and time-consuming process. This is compounded by the fact that in allergic diseases most frequently observed polisensibilizatsiya to many allergens diverse nature, and cleaning each of them has its own characteristics.

One of the indisputable advantages allergoidnyh allergies when properly designed scheme SIT is that he has not caused systemic reactions such as generalized urticaria, itching, dryness in the throat, nasal symptoms with asthma and without it. During the SIT allergen eliminated emerging systemic reactions with antihistamines.

Allergoid resulting from the processing of allergen glutaraldehyde has, in our view, a number of disadvantages: the preparation is not stable for 6 months continued polymerization and depolymerization. Unknown path glutaraldehyde utilization in the human body. The polymerization reaction is not controlled, it can not be directed synthesis.

One of the stages of development of drugs for the treatment of pollen allergy (allergy to pollen of timothy grass, birch and other. Plants) was the creation of allergotropinov based allergoids pollen of these plants, associated with high molecular weight immunomodulator polioksidoniem, ie drugs with strong immunogenic properties, but have a low allergenic activity. In the development of these drugs have been taken into account the advantages of its constituent components, each of which is used in medical practice: allergoid and polyoxidonium. Polioksidony - domestic drug with broad spectrum of pharmacological action, which is unparalleled in the world both in structure and properties [1]. The drug is used as an immunomodulator, detoksikant, immunostimulatory and sustained release carrier of pharmacologically active compounds. Polioksidony (ON) is approved for use in 1996, reg.nomer 96/302/9, FS 42-3906-00. The three-year experience in the application software has shown its high clinical efficacy in treatment of almost all secondary immunodeficiency states. Software belongs to a class of water-soluble derivatives of hetero-aliphatic polyamines. Software has a broad spectrum of immunopharmacological properties, fundamentally important to create on its basis of vaccines, high bioavailability, ability of excretion, use safety. Software in a wide range of doses activates macrophage link humoral immune response, possesses anti-infective and anti-tumor activity of cell membranes increases the resistance to the cytotoxic effect and reduces the toxicity of drugs when co-administered.

When creating vaccinated and medicinal products is a new generation of high molecular immunostimulant carrier antigens and allergoids software provides greater stability to antigens, increased immunogenicity at lower vaccination dose of antigens, more efficient formation of immunological memory to antigens and increase preventive effectiveness of the vaccine, but also increased safety of the vaccine. Modification of various nature macromolecular antigen immunostimulant software allows you to enhance the immunogenic activity. Accession to allergoid software reduces the allergenic activity, improve the safety of the drug and reduce the risk of complications when administered to sensitized body. Binding allergoids with software makes it possible to significantly enhance the immune response, stimulate the production of high levels of allergen-specific IgG-antibodies that protect the patient in contact with hay fever pollen allergensoderzhaschey in his body.

When developing a new generation of allergotropinov polyoxidonium choice as a high-immunostimulatory carrier antigen was driven by the positive experience obtained earlier.

The most promising areas in the further development of modified forms of allergens, we believe allergotropiny: conjugated forms allergoid and immunostimulant.

At present, it developed and produced allergotropin created on the basis of allergoids timothy pollen, birch and sage and a polyionic media - synthetic high molecular immunostimulant - polyoxidonium.
