SELECTION OF HIGHLY EFFICIENT ANTIGEN PRESENTING CELLS FOR REGULATING IMMUNITY AND USES THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates, generally, to the fields of immunology andcellular biology. The invention discloses, more particularly, a new strategyof modulation of immune response based on the use of highly efficient nonautologous antigen presenting and/or immunostimulatory system such asallogeneic antigen presenting cells. Invention thus relates to methods forpreparing or selecting systems having high antigen presentation and/orimmunostimulatory capacity for a given subject. The invention also disclosesbanks usable to select such systems as well as compositions comprising suchsystems, their preparation and uses.
