Abstract:
Methods of using a stabilized chlorite solution to inhibit antigen-specific immune responses are disclosed. The stabilized chlorite solution, when
administered to a mammal in need thereof, can prevent the presentation of antigens by antigen presenting cells. The stabilized chlorite solution
therefore is useful in treating, inter alia, auto-immune diseases, treating diseases caused by an inappropriate immune response, treating
lymphoproliferative disease and in inhibiting rejection in transplant patients.
Claims:
1-26. (canceled)
