Allergen specific immunotherapy (ASIT) in a patient with weed pollen allergy is a comprehensive analysis to predict whether allergen specific immunotherapy (ASIT) will be effective. 
Allergy component diagnosis is based on the detection of sensitization to allergens at the molecular level using natural highly purified and recombinant allergen molecules, i.e. their individual allergy components.

There are 3 main advantages of performing this analysis:
- Allergy component diagnostics gives the ability to differentiate true sensitization from sensitization due to cross-reactivity. This data will help to identify the sources of allergy as a single allergy, several closely related allergies or many different allergies.
- Molecular allergodiagnosis eliminates the need for provocation tests and allows for clearer recommendations regarding the elimination of contact with allergens.
- Molecular allergodiagnostics is necessary in the selection of ASIT, in persons with polyvalent (multiple) sensitization it is the most accurate way to determine the most important allergen for which therapy will be carried out.
