Abstract
Substances that bind to alloimmune-immunogen-absorbed (AIA) sera have been found to be effective in the prevention and therapy of autoimmune disease. It is conjectured that the mechanism involves indirect stimulation of suppressor T cells resulting in stabilization of the immune system. The administration of such substances is expected to be useful in the prevention and treatment of diseases that involve a failure of the immune system to distinguish adequately between self and nonself, including autoimmune diseases and immunodeficiency diseases.
