Sublingual Immunotherapy with Sal k1 Expressing Lactococcus lactis Down-regulates Th2 Immune Responses in Balb/c Mice.

This study revealed that Th2 immune responses are reduced in allergic mice after feeding them with allergen expressing probiotic bacteria as a SLIT approach. Since the safety of this procedure was previously approved, thus, it seems that a similar protocol using human based probiotics could be applied for Salsola kali sensitive patients.
