ABSTRACT:
Methods and pharmaceutical compositions for modifying the immune response of a mammal to a specific antigen are provided. The methods include treating an antigen presenting cell to enhance expression of a major histocompatibility complex molecule and reacting the treated antigen presenting cell with the antigen extracorporeally to form an antigen-associated antigen presenting cell.
