CONTROL OF DISEASES ASSOCIATED WITH DECREASE OF T-REGULATORY CELLS WITH A PREPARATION OF EXTENDED FREEZE-DRIED KILLED BACTERIA

摘要

This invention relates to the use of a preparation of extended freeze- dried (EFD) killed Gram positive bacteria such as Gram positive facultative intracellular bacteria, for example mycobacteria, for the treatment of diseases associated with a decrease of T-regulatory cells (Tregs), particularly CNS inflammatory diseases, and more particularly CNS demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and acute-disseminated encephalomyelitis.
