Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the residual allergenicity of Grass MATA modified pollen allergen tyrosine adsorbate by skin prick testing This is done by a comparison of the wheal response after skin prick testing with aqueous native and modified allergen modified tyrosine adsorbed allergen and Grass MATA MPL modified tyrosine adsorbed MPL
Detailed Description: Grass MATA MPL has been developed to provide pre-seasonal specific immunotherapy for patients with proven type I hypersensitivity to cross reacting grass pollens

MPL Monophosphoryl Lipid A a purified detoxified glycolipid derived from the cell wall of Salmonella minnesota is included in the product formulation as an adjuvant to increase the immunogenic effect of the product and to enhance the switch from an allergen-specific TH2 to a TH1-like T cell profile

The grass pollen extract is modified with glutaraldehyde to produce the active ingredient an allergoid This modification reduces the reactivity of the extract with IgE antibody thus reducing the risk of side effects However a simultaneous reduction in other important immunological properties such as IgG and T cell reactivities is not seen

The modification is greater than 75 so that only a small amount of unmodified allergen is remaining in the product The purpose of this study is to assess residual allergenicity of the modified grassrye pollen in Grass MATA MPL using skin prick testing

In this skin prick test the following test products will be compared

7 concentrations of aqueous native allergen
aqueous modified allergen
modified tyrosine adsorbed allergen
Grass MATA MPL modified tyrosine adsorbed MPL
