Abstract
Disclosed are chemical agents for modulating certain cellular immune reactions that can lead to autoimmune disorders. By specific modulation, harmful immune reactions can be lessened in severity or even prevented without resorting to potentially dangerous general immune suppression. The described chemical agents inhibit IL-12 induction of the secretion of key immune modulators. The described chemical agents are specific inhibitors of IL-12 induced Th1 immune response.
