Abstract
The present invention provides liposomal compositions for inducing immune tolerance. The compounds typically comprise a liposome displaying a specific antigen and also a binding moiety for a sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin (Siglec) expressed on B cells. The invention also provides methods for inducing tolerance to a protein or polypeptide antigen (e.g., a protein antigen) in a subject. The methods involve administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition thatco-presents both the antigen and a glycan ligand for a Siglec expressed on B lymphocytes.
