Nextmune Allergy Service
We offer the Nextmune UK allergy service, with the Nextlab allergy test and corresponding Artuvetrin immunotherapy. Nextmune are considered global leaders in dermatology, allergy testing and immunotherapy and work closely with a range of dermatology key opinion leaders and specialists in order to provide expert advice for all allergy cases. The Nextlab serum test is a leading serum test technology using monoclonal antibodies and CCD blockers. This technology is used and recommended by dermatologists since it can provide a more sensitive and specific test, facilitating more reliable results with fewer false positives.

Allergy Serum Test and Immunotherapy Treatment
We offer the Nextmune UK allergy service, with the excellent PAX allergy test and corresponding Artuvetrin immunotherapy. Nextmune are considered global leaders in dermatology, allergy testing and immunotherapy and work closely with a range of dermatology key opinion leaders and specialists in order to provide expert advice for all allergy cases.
PAX Test:
PAX® is the first quantitative multiplex macroarray specifically designed for companion animals that tests for both allergen extracts and molecular components.
Molecular allergology is a state-of-the-art approach to the detection of sensitisations, whereby defined single allergen components are used for the determination of specific IgE in place of traditionally-used allergen extracts. The molecular components are recombinant proteins that provide a higher level of standardisation than allergen extracts and enable a more precise identification of IgE sensitisations.
Molecular allergology tests are powerful tools that help pinpoint allergy triggers, thus facilitating risk assessment and therapy decisions.
Key Facts about PAX:
- First quantitative multiplex macroarray specifically designed for companion animals
- Over 200 allergens included = lower testing cost per allergen
- Fully automated process = higher level of standardization (same result if tested multiple times)
- With CCD blocking and 2 blocking efficiency detectors
- Only 0.5 ml of serum needed per test
- Expected increase in serological test sensitivity due to a higher concentration of molecular allergens
- Identification of “primary” sensitizing allergens
- Identification of allergen cross-reactivities
- Selection of relevant allergens for specific immunotherapy
- Guaranteed 100% reliable screening test
- Fast results
Treatment:
Artuvetrin therapy is the preferred ‘Allergen Specific Immunotherapy’ vaccine treatment for Nextmune. Artuvetrin is the only licensed ASIT treatment in Europe and is clinically proven (up to 75% efficacy), safe and dermatologist recommended. As such, it is considered the gold standard in treating the underlying cause of allergy symptoms. The accuracy of the Nextlab test means vaccines typically include 1-8 allergens, allowing for increased allergen concentrations for enhanced efficacy. Vaccines formulated with allergens identified by the Nextlab Test can include up to 8 allergens per vial, with most patients rarely needing more than 1 vial per treatment. Artuvetrin can be used alongside other symptomatic medications such as oclacitinib, lokivetmab and prednisolone.
To order a treatment set, all you need to do is email CVC with the patient’s name and the treatment option that you would like for them. We will then send very easy step-by-step instructions for how to apply for the import certificate - once that has been applied for and sent to us, the treatment set should be with you within 10 days.
Support:
We endeavour to provide an efficient and personalised allergy service for each patient and will be readily available to support you with each case. We have access to support from Nextmune’s team of Dermatology Specialists and Opinion Leaders, including Dr Sue Paterson and Dr Thierry Olivry, and can provide access to a wide range of educational content for your team to improve knowledge on allergy testing, immunotherapy and dermatology case management.
