Official Title: A Dose Ranging Study of Sting Challenge and Specific lgE, and IgG4 Responses to Jack Jumper Ant (JJA) [Myrmecia Pilosula] Venom Immunotherapy (VIT) With and Without Delta-inulin as an Adjuvant.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the potential use of delta-inulin as an adjuvant to facilitate the desired immune response to Jack Jumper Ant (JJA) venom with a lower dose of venom, thus reducing adverse reactions, venom requirements and costs of treatment. Specifically we aim to compare outcomes of in-hospital JJA sting challenges and JJA venom specific IgE, and IgG4 responses to semi-rush JJA VIT at maintenance doses of 25 and 50 mcg of JJA venom, with and without delta-inulin adjuvant.
