Apoptosis-mimicking natural vesicles and use thereof in medical treatment

摘要

Natural biological vesicles with membranes which have lost phospholipid symmetry, especially those presenting phosphatidyl serine on outer membrane surfaces, such as red cell ghosts, are administered to mammalian patients, in immune system modifying amounts, for treatment or prophylaxis of inflammatory cytokine-related disorders, including autoimmune disorders, neurodegenerative disorders and endothelial dysfunction related disorders.
