    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Little information is available on the effect of allergen-specific immunotherapy on airway responsiveness and markers in exhaled air. The aims of this study were to assess the safety of immunotherapy with purified natural Alt a1 and its effect on airway responsiveness to direct and indirect bronchoconstrictor agents and markers in exhaled air.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>This was a randomized double-blind trial. Subjects with allergic rhinitis with or without mild/moderate asthma sensitized to <it>A alternata </it>and who also had a positive skin prick test to Alt a1 were randomized to treatment with placebo (n = 18) or purified natural Alt a1 (n = 22) subcutaneously for 12 months. Bronchial responsiveness to adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) and methacholine, exhaled nitric oxide (ENO), exhaled breath condensate (EBC) pH, and serum Alt a1-specific IgG<sub>4 </sub>antibodies were measured at baseline and after 6 and 12 months of treatment. Local and systemic adverse events were also registered.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>The mean (95% CI) allergen-specific IgG<sub>4 </sub>value for the active treatment group increased from 0.07 μg/mL (0.03-0.11) at baseline to 1.21 μg/mL (0.69-1.73, P < 0.001) at 6 months and to 1.62 μg/mL (1.02-2.22, P < 0.001) at 12 months of treatment. In the placebo group, IgG<sub>4 </sub>value increased nonsignificantly from 0.09 μg/mL (0.06-0.12) at baseline to 0.13 μg/mL (0.07-0.18) at 6 months and to 0.11 μg/mL (0.07-0.15) at 12 months of treatment. Changes in the active treatment group were significantly higher than in the placebo group both at 6 months (P < 0.001) and at 12 months of treatment (P < 0.0001). However, changes in AMP and methacholine responsiveness, ENO and EBC pH levels were not significantly different between treatment groups. The overall incidence of adverse events was comparable between the treatment groups.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>Although allergen-specific immunotherapy with purified natural Alt a1 is well tolerated and induces an allergen-specific IgG<sub>4 </sub>response, treatment is not associated with changes in AMP or methacholine responsiveness or with significant improvements in markers of inflammation in exhaled air. These findings suggest dissociation between the immunotherapy-induced increase in IgG<sub>4 </sub>levels and its effect on airway responsiveness and inflammation.</p
