- Describe and interpret the key immunological mechanisms by which platelet-targeted gene therapy induces antigen‑specific immune tolerance, including platelet-mediated antigen presentation, regulatory T-cell induction, and suppression of pathogenic IgE responses in allergic disease models.
- Critically evaluate preclinical evidence supporting platelet-targeted gene therapy as a strategy to prevent or reduce severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis, with emphasis on food allergy models, durability of tolerance, and translational relevance to clinical allergy management.
- Apply insights from platelet-directed antigen delivery to inform the design and development of novel immune tolerance therapies for allergic and immune-mediated diseases, identifying potential advantages, limitations, and future clinical applications.
