摘要 |
<p>The present invention details the use of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) for reactivation of natural defense systems within human cells, tissues and organs reduced to inadequate function subsequent to injury. Specific treatments for acquired immune deficient states are described. dsRNA stimulates the release of an immune lymphokine, tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and protects against the toxic effects associated with increased TNF levels.</p> |
