Abstract
Methods and compositions are described for increasing and decreasing immunoglobulin production by administering to a human or other mammalian subject an appropriate dosage of amplifier. Administration of amplifier to subjects having excessive production of immunoglobulin, namely AIDS and ARC patients, is shown as decreasing such excessive immunoglobulin production in such patients.
Claims4
A method of decreasing quantity of immunoglobulin produced by B-cells of a human or other mammalian subject in response to antigen, where said subject suffers from a disease or condition in which excessive immunoglobulin production occurs, comprising administering to said subject an effective dosage amount of an amplifier of the immune system, said amount being effective to decrease said quantity of immunoglobulin, and said ampifier being Beta-1.0, Beta-1.11, or Beta-1.12.
A method of decreasing quantity of immunoglobulin produced by B-cells of a human or other mammalian subject in response to antigen, where said subject suffers from a disease or condition in which excessive immunoglobulin production occurs, comprising administering to said subject an effective dosage amount of an amplifier of the immune system, said amount being effective to decrease said quantity of immunoglobulin, and said ampifier being Tyr-Gly or Tyr-Gly-Gly.
