Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9419009A1] Compositions of subimmunogenic doses of substances which bind to T cell receptors on helper (TCR4) and/or suppressor cells (TCR8) are used to stabilize the immune system of an individual. The tolerogenic methods are useful in a variety of circumstances, including preventing graft rejection in transplantation, preventing and treating autoimmune diseases, inhibiting the development of acquired immunodeficiency diseases, and in desensitizing individuals to allergens. Preferred tolerogenic compounds include MHC class I and class II molecules, which may be allogeneic or xenogeneic to the individual being treated.
