摘要

The use of immunotherapy against oxidised LDL to induce regression of preexisting atherosclerotic lesions in an individual. The immunotherapy can be passive immunotherapy utilising antibodies that bind to epitopes present on oxidised LDL, or active immunotherapy utilising a vaccine composition for induction of an immune response against epitopes present on oxidised LDL.
