The application of self-antigens as therapeutic tools is validated in inbred animal models of autoimmune disease. Mechanisms of antigen-induced tolerance (apoptosis, anergy, regulatory T cells and immune deviation) are being clarified in relation to the properties of antigens and the modes and routes of their delivery. Mucosa-mediated tolerance remains the predominant mode of antigen-specific therapy but awaits demonstration of clinical efficacy in human autoimmune disease.
自身抗原作为治疗工具在自身免疫性疾病的近交系动物模型中得到了验证。抗原诱导耐受的机制(细胞凋亡、无反应性、调节性T细胞和免疫偏离)正根据抗原的特性及其递送方式和途径进行阐明。黏膜介导的耐受仍然是抗原特异性治疗的主要模式,但有待在人类自身免疫性疾病中证明其临床疗效。
