Specific immunotherapy and other immunomodulatory strategies have long been a stronghold in the management of allergic diseases. In particular, ‘‘immunodeviation-therapy’’ or ‘‘vaccination for allergies’’, i.e. the redirection of Th2-type immune responses towards a Th1-response pattern, has become an ever more popular concept. The present feature of CONTROVERSIES complements our previous discussion of atopy (Ro¨cken et al., Exp Dermatol 7: 97–104, 1998), and is dedicated to a critical analysis of the general problems and limitations one faces with the main immunomodulatory strategies traditionally considered in this context. We also explore alternative approaches that appear promising in order to achieve both a more effective and/or a more specific immunotherapy of allergic diseases. Given that the mast cell remains a key protagonist in the pathogenesis of allergic diseases finally, this feature examines how innovative, more selectively mast celltargeted strategies may be developed for the management of allergic diseases.
