“…In this context, the use of the agonist for TLR4 monophosphoryl-lipid A (MPLA), a less toxic derivative of LPS, together with grass pollen allergens, has been shown to be a booster for AIT, inducing the IFNγ production and reducing the IgE levels in allergic patients. , In addition, the conjugation of MPLA to ovalbumin (OVA) protein has been reported to promote dendritic cell (DC) maturation and induce a Th1 response. , A further small-scale in vitro study in allergic patients has identified MPLA as potentiating allergoid responses in AIT . On the other hand, several TLR9 agonists have been assessed in combination with an allergen in clinical trials of AIT, demonstrating a strong capacity to induce Th1 response and consequently providing benefit when administered as an adjuvant to AIT . TLR9 activation has been shown to be capable of producing a Th1 response with IFNγ production and IgE synthesis inhibition using modified oligodeoxyribonucleotides containing CpG motifs in a FA animal model and by the co-administration of chenopodium album allergens and CpG in allergic rhinitis patients. , Regarding TLR7 agonists, there are few studies indicating their potential used in AIT, , despite imidazoquinoline compounds (imiquimod and resiquimod), TLR7 agonists have consistently demonstrated a capacity to reverse Th2 responses in favour of an anti-allergic Th1 response and IL-10 production. , In addition, one study utilizing nanoparticles with an OVA peptide in the presence/absence of imidazoquinoline compound demonstrated the production of tolerogenic DCs and the induction of Tregs capable of suppressing the response to food challenge .…”
