Title:
MESENCHYMAL STEM CELLS AS IMMUNOSUPPRESSANTS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999051275
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method to modulate immune responses using antigen presenting human mesenchymal stem cells to induce specific T cell anergy. The present invention also provides a method to modulate immune responses using human mesenchymal stem cells as a platform to express molecules which will induce T cell anergy.
