METHODS FOR PROMOTING DENDRITIC CELL PROLIFERATION OR DIFFERENTIATION

摘要

The present invention provides methods, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits for promoting dendritic cell proliferation and differentiation, through the use one or more or renin, angiotensinogen converting enzyme (ACE), neutral endopeptidase, angiotensin I (AI), AI analogues, AI fragments and analogues thereof, angiotensin II (AII), AII analogues, AII fragments or analogues thereof or AII AT2 type 2 receptor agonists, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors).
