METHOD TO INHIBIT AIRWAY HYPERRESPONSIVENESS USING AEROSOLIZED T CELL RECEPTOR ANTIBODIES

摘要

Disclosed is a method to reduce airway hyperresponsivesness in an animal by the direct delivery to the lungs of aerosolized antibodies against T cell receptors. The method is particularly useful for treating airway hyperresponsiveness associated with allergic inflammation, is effective at extremely low doses of antibody, and does not have a substantial effect on the peripheral immune system.
