ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to immunomodulators. In particular the invention relates to specific immunomodulators based on the superantigen SMEZ-2 and more particularly based on mutants of the superantigen SMEZ-2, which are adapted to target antigen-presenting-cells for the purpose of enhancing or suppressing a host immune response.
