Zusammenfassung

Die Inzidenz allergischer Erkrankungen nimmt in den westlichen Industrieländern stetig zu. Hieraus resultieren für die Therapie sehr hohe Kosten (USA jährlich ca. 18 Milliarden Dollar). Aus diesem Grund ist die Forschung darauf ausgerichtet, neue Medikamente zur Therapie allergischer Erkrankungen zu finden. In diesem Übersichtsartikel stellen wir einen neuen Therapieansatz vor: Die Chemokinrezeptor-Antagonisten bei atopischen Erkrankungen.

Abstract

The incidence of allergic diseases increases in the western industrial countries costing the health care system $ 18 billion (USA) annually. Therefore, institutional and industrial research focus on new concepts to find therapies preventing allergies or stopping the symptoms. Herein, we postulate a new concept in the treatment of allergies: Chemokine receptor antagonists for atopic diseases.
