Abstract

The past year has seen advances in our understanding of the mechanisms that control the expression of organ-specific autoimmunity. Attempts to develop therapeutic strategies for the prevention of autoimmune disease have largely been based on deviation of the T-cell response away from an autoaggressive, pro-inflammatory Th 1 response. Manipulation of the cytokine environment at the site of antigen uptake or presentation, the source of endogenous antigen, costimulatory molecules or peptides processed and presented has yielded interesting results.
