Abstract

Abstract A method of reducing an immune response to a recombinant adenovirus which involves co-administration of the recombinant adenovirus and a selected immune modulator. The immune modulator functions by inhibiting the formation of neutralizing antibodies and/or reducing CTL killing of the virally infected cells. The method additionally encompasses the step of re-administering the recombinant adenovirus.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 25
Claim 1
Independent Claim 39 words
A method of inhibiting in a mammal formation of neutralizing antibodies directed against a recombinant adenovirus comprising the step of co-administering to said mammal said adenovirus and an antibody directed against CD4, wherein formation of neutralizing antibodies is inhibited.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 39 words
A method of inhibiting in a mammal formation of neutralizing antibodies directed against a recombinant adenovirus comprising the step of co-administering to said mammal said adenovirus and an antibody directed against CD4, wherein formation of neutralizing antibodies is inhibited.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
