ABSTRACT:
A composition of matter is disclosed, comprising an immunostimulatory molecule and animal cells cultured in the presence of at least one interferon (IFN) for a time and under conditions sufficient to enhance the antigen presenting function of said cells. Also disclosed are immunopotentiating compositions and their use for treatment and/or prophylaxis of a disease or condition.
