Embodiment 1

[0183] Example 1 Selective tolerance of TH2 immunity

[0184] Specific pathogen-free C57BL / 6J and BALB / c mice were purchased from the Animal Resource Center (Murdoch University, Western Australia) and housed at the Telethon Institute for Child Health Research under barrier conditions. Animals were maintained in a temperature and lighting controlled environment and housed on low-dust bedding. Animals were fed acidified water and an autoclaved diet of OVA-free food pellets. Late-gestational females were monitored daily at 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM for date of delivery. The day of birth is assigned as day 0. Newborn animals were defined as animals born 24 hours after birth. Adult mice aged 6-8 weeks can be used. All animal experiments were approved by the Institute's Animal Ethics and Experimentation Committee, which adheres to regulations set by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia.

Embodiment 2

[0187] Example 2 Selective tolerance of TH1 immunity

[0188] Adult mice were fed 3 x 1 mg of OVA or PBS for 3 consecutive days as described in Example 1 above. However, after 4 weeks, the mice were challenged intraperitoneally with 100 μg of OVA in complete Freund's adjuvant. Again, the draining lymph node cells were stimulated with 1 mg / ml OVA in vitro for 11 days, and the cytokines in the culture supernatant were measured according to the description in Example 1. figure 2 Selective tolerance of TH1 immunity was shown, as OVA-fed mice produced reduced in vitro production of the TH1 cytokine IFN-γ after challenge with OVA in complete Freund's adjuvant, concomitantly with production of the TH2 cytokine IL-5 increase as shown.

Embodiment 3

[0189] Example 3 Non-selective tolerance of overall OVA-specific TH cell immunity

[0190] Adult mice were fed with 3 x 1 mg OVA or PBS for 3 consecutive days as shown in Examples 1 and 2 above. However, after 4 weeks, the mice were challenged intraperitoneally with 100 μg of soluble OVA in PBS. Again, draining lymph node cells after 11 days were stimulated in vitro with 1 mg / ml OVA, and cytokines in the culture supernatants were assayed as described above. image 3 A non-selective tolerance of overall OVA-specific TH cell immunity was demonstrated, as shown by a parallel decrease in the in vitro production of IL-5 and IFN-g in animals following challenge with unadjuvanted soluble OVA.

Abstract

The present invention relates to an immunotherapy method, and particularly, the invention relates to the use of immunomodulators to effect change in the T helper cell type 1 (TH1) or T helper cell type 2 (TH2) arms of an immune response and thereby to treat TH1 or TH2 mediated diseases. In particular, the present invention relates to a method of altering a specific immune response in an individual, and the method comprises: i) administering an effective amount of an antigen in an immunotherapeutic form to an individual in need, wherein the immune response is down-regulated; and ii) subsequently administering an effective amount of an immunomodulator to the individual, wherein the immunomodulator comprises the antigen in an immunogenic form.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of an invention application with a filing date of September 29, 2004, an application number of 200480035504.1 (international application number of PCT / AU2004 / 001333), and an invention title of "immunotherapy method". field of invention [0002] The present invention relates to the use of immunomodulators to effect changes in the type 1 T helper cell (TH1) or type 2 T helper cell (TH2) clade of the immune response for the treatment of TH1 or TH2 mediated diseases. In particular the invention relates to the use of immunomodulators containing specific antigens alone, or both specific antigens and adjuvants, to effect changes in TH1 or TH2 immune responses. Background of the invention [0003] Strongly polarized TH1 and TH2 responses not only play different roles in protection but also accelerate different immunopathological responses. Indeed, many diseases are thought to involve pathological or inappropriate immune responses c...
