Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Embodiments are directed to methods and compositions for modulating an immune response. In certain aspects the immune response is a type I hypersensitivity response. In particular aspects the subject has allergic asthma or allergic rhinitis. Using a conventional experimental asthma mouse model (BALB/c), the inventors demonstrate that aerosol administration of TLR agonists, in particular a combination of TLR2/6 and TLR9 agonist (e.g., TLR9 oligonucleotide agonist/PAM2CSK4) along with an antigen (e.g., ovalbumin (OVA)) suppresses the immune response as exemplified by the production of antigen-specific IgE and decreases the number of airway eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) in response to intraperitoneal (IP) immunization with an antigen mixed with alum.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for attenuating type I hypersensitivity in a subject, comprising administering an effective amount of at a composition comprising PAM2CSK4 and ODNM362 to a subject susceptible to allergen induced asthma. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has been exposed to the allergen. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the molar ratio of PAM2CSK to ODNM362 is 4:1. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the subject has allergic asthma. 5. A method for attenuating type I hypersensitivity in a subject, comprising administering an effective amount of a composition comprising TLR agonists and an allergen to a subject susceptible to allergen induced asthma; wherein the TLR agonists consist of PAM2CSK4 and ODNM362. 6. A pharmaceutically acceptable composition comprising PAM2CSK4, ODNM362, and an asthma-inducing allergen. 7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the composition further comprises an anti-inflammatory agent. 8. The composition of claim 7 , wherein the anti-inflammatory agent is budesonide. 9. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the composition is sterile and essentially free of pathogenic microbes.
