Abstract
It has been discovered that treatment of an IDDM model with the p277 auto-antigen in a tolerogenic carrier induces a shift from a TH1 T cell response to a TH2 T cell response. The efficacy of proposed vaccines for any T cell mediated disease can be detected or monitored by measuring for such a TH1→TH2 T cell reponse shift.
