’1104: tackling the root cause of allergic disease

Drug Target Review

functions to reset the immune system and potentially provide remission for allergic diseases? 1104 acts upstream in the inflammatory response, targeting one of the first key players: antigen-presenting cells (APCs). In allergic diseases, APCs identify and present unknown antigens to the immune system.
