Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides methods and formulations for site-specific immune suppression of immune/inflammatory responses with localized or topical application of immunosuppressants including cyclosporines, rapamycins (RPM), or combinations of immunosuppressants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Methods for the use of said formulations to effect site-specific immune suppression of local inflammatory/immune responses in mammalian tissue and for treatment of autoimmune, T-cell mediated immune disease, inflammatory conditions, inhibition of contact hypersensitivity, and for producing prolonged skin allograft survival, and wound healing are presented. In addition, methods for use of said formulations--in tandem with systemic applications of immunosuppressant such as cyclosporine or without same--are presented. The present invention also relates to alternative formulations and delivery systems for the efficacious treatment of the aforementioned conditions.
