Preliminary clinical trial to explore predictive biomarkers of response to sublingual immunotherapy for Japanese cedar pollinosis.

CONCLUSIONS: IL-12p70 and VEGF may be useful biomarkers for predicting the effects of SLIT. In addition, although it does not appear to be useful as a biomarker for evaluating treatment response at the start of SLIT, IL-17 may be useful as a biomarker after the beginning period of SLIT.
