In one example of the invention, a method for treating allergen-induced airway inflammation in a subject in need thereof, in a manner consistent with local nasal immunotherapy is provided. [0027] In one example of the invention, a method for treating allergen-induced airway inflammation in a subject in need thereof, in a manner consistent with local nasal immunotherapy is provided. The method comprises applying the device according to the invention, for delivering a mixture of an allergen and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the subject in a manner consistent with local nasal immunotherapy (LNIT).
[0028] Previous study showed that the "local nasal immunotherapy (LNIT)" may provide a steady dosage of the allergen, as reported in Bertoni M, et al. (Ann. Allergy Asthma Immunol., 1999, 82:47-51), and nasal provocation test with allergen disc paper could cause immediate nasal allergic reaction with trivial lower airway spasm or lower airway hyperresponsibity sa reported in Tsai JJ. et al. (Int. Arch. Allergy Immunol., 1995, 106: 286-290), both of which are incorporated herein by reference. Furthermore, US Patent 6,994,870 disclosed a method for treating allergen-induced airway inflammation in a manner consistent with local nasal immunotherapy (LNIT), comprising the steps of applying a nasal strip comprising a mixture of an allergen and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier to the nostril of an individual having allergen-induced airway inflammation for local nasal immunotherapy, which is incorporated herein by reference.
