Executive Summary
There are many treatments on the market and in development that ease the symptoms of allergies, from antihistamines to immunotherapies, but there is no real prevention or cure. Swedish biotech Swecure AB aims to prevent the development of allergies in the first place: its research is based on a bacterial protein, known as a superantigen, found in the gut flora of newborn babies.
