Abstract
This invention relates to a technique for treating a mammal with rapamycin which comprises removal of blood from the patient, treatment of the formed blood elements with rapamycin which binds rapidly and reversibly with erythrocytes, and returning the treated blood cells to the circulatory system of the patient for the treatment of any of the diseases, syndromes, conditions, or immune responses which respond to treatment with rapamycin. Alternatively, blood to be treated with rapamycin can be obtained from a hematologically compatible donor mammal.
