The present invention relates to the preparation and use of recombinant variants of group 5 allergens of the Poaceae (true grasses), which are characterised by reduced IgE reactivity compared with known wild-type allergens and at the same time substantially retained reactivity with T-lymphocytes.

The present invention provides DNA vaccines for the treatment of allergies. The vaccines comprise the coding sequence for one or more allergenic epitopes, and preferably the full protein sequence, of the allergenic protein from which the epitope(s) is derived, fused inframe with the lumenal domain of the lysosomal associated membrane protein (LAMP) and the targeting sequence of LAMP. The vaccines allow for presentation of properly configured three dimensional epitopes for production of an immune response. The vaccines can be multivalent molecules, and/or can be provided as part of a multivalent vaccine containing two or more DNA constructs.

A method for delivering an immunomodulator to a patient includes providing a bottle of concentrated immunomodulator extract; progressively diluting the antigen extract in sterile bottles; selecting a prescribed amount from a desired one of the dilution bottles; providing a viscous encapsulation material that is able to introduce antigens contained therein through the skin of a patient; introducing one or more doses of the selected prescribed amount of diluted immunomodulator into the viscous encapsulation material; disposing a prescribed amount of viscous encapsulation material containing the introduced diluted immunomodulator therein within a container that is able to dispense such viscous encapsulation material containing the introduced diluted immunomodulator; dispensing from the container the amount of viscous encapsulation material containing the diluted immunomodulator in an amount equal to a single dose; and applying the dispensed viscous encapsulation material containing the introduced diluted immunomodulator to the skin by the patient or a medical professional.
