摘要

The present invention concern a composition or a patch adapted for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment by continuous subcutaneous administration of a subject suffering from atherosclerosis, comprising an effective amount of at least one epitope derived from a protein present in the atherosclerotic plaque, whereby administration of said at least one epitope to said subject induces a specific regulatory immune response, preferably a Treg response.
