Clinical outcome of AIT depends on induction of blocking antibodies able to prevent the patient's own IgE from allergen binding. Monitoring of clinical efficacy seems to be best achieved using the inhibition mediator release assay, as development of relevant blocking antibodies can be verified in a patient-tailored manner.
