ABSTRACT:
Improvements in therapy and prevention of conditions characterized by an elevated level of eosinophil leukocytes, i.e. conditions such as asthma and other chronic allergic diseases are disclosed. A method is provided for down-regulating interleukin 5 (IL5) by enabling the production of antibodies against IL5 thereby reducing the level of activity of eosinophils.
