METHOD FOR TREATING AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE BY INDUCING ANTIGEN PRESENTATION BY TOLERANCE-INDUCING ANTIGEN-PRESENTING CELLS

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop and recover natural immune tolerance against a self-antigen to treat or prevent autoimmune diseases. PSOLUTION: Interaction of an antigen-presenting cell and immune cells including T cells are interfered by using an antibody to the antigen presenting cell. A peptide may be linked to the antibody thereby generating an immune response to such peptide. Preferably, the peptide linked to the antibody is associated with autoimmunity.
