METHODS TO TRIGGER, MAINTAIN AND MANIPULATE IMMUNE RESPONSES BY TARGETED ADMINISTRATION OF BIOLOGICAL RESPONSE MODIFIERS INTO LYMPHOID ORGANS

摘要

The present invention includes use of a biological response modifier (BRM) to modulate an immune response in a subject while avoiding or limiting common side-effects associate with BRM use. The BRMs of the present invention can be injected into a secondary lymphatic organ of the subject or into an area of relatively high drainage into a secondary lymphatic organ of the subject. The modulated immune response can be general or antigen-specific.
