ABSTRACT:
This invention discloses a method for the treatment or prevention of autoimmune diseases, allergic or atopic disorders and graft rejection. Specifically, it provides a means of killing a specific sub-population of T lymphocytes while leaving the majority of other T lymphocytes in the population unaffected. The sub-population of T lymphocytes are killed by repeatedly challenging the population with an antigen in conjunction with administration of interleukin-4.
