ABSTRACT:
The present invention pertains to a method for non-specifically enhancing the immune system response of a mammal to an antigen which comprises the steps of (a) withdrawing leukocyte containing material from the mammal, (b) treating the withdrawn leukocytes in a manner to alter the cells, and (c) returning the treated leukocytes to the mammal. In one embodiment, the method for non-specifically enhancing the immune system response of a mammal is carried out in conjunction with artificially contacting the mammal's immune system with an antigen for a suitable period of time to stimulate the immune system. In another embodiment, the mammal's immune system is naturally exposed to the antigen prior to the non-specific enhancement of the immune system. In yet another embodiment, the invention is directed at a method for preparing an autologous non-specific leukocyte adjuvant.
