Abstract

It has been determined that estrogen and other hormones elevated in pregnancy induce a specific modulation of lymphocyte precursor cell production. The immune system of an animal or bone marrow cells in culture can therefore be modulated in a specific manner by administration of hormones elevated during pregnancy, such as estrogen and estrogen-like compounds or compounds that interfere with the synthesis or activity of these hormones, to increase or decrease production of B lymphocyte precursor cells.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS
[received by the International Bureau on 30 September 1994 (30.09.94); original claims 1-20 replaced by amended claims 1-12 (3 pages)]
i 1. A method for modulating production of mammalian B lymphocyte precursor cells comprising exposing the cells to a hormone selected from the group consisting of hormones elevated during pregnancy, synthetic analogues of the hormones elevated during pregnancy, eliciting agents of the hormones elevated during pregnancy, and antagonists of the hormones elevated during pregnancy, in an amount effective to alter selectively the production of mammalian B lymphocyte precursor cells.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein the hormone is selected from the group of natural and synthetic hormones consisting of estrogen, estrone, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, and combinations thereof and the amount is effective to inhibit selectively the production of mammalian B lymphocyte precursor cells.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the hormone is selected from the group consisting of chorionic gonadotropin, hormone eliciting agents, hormone antagonists, and combinations thereof and the amount is effective to manipulate selectively the production of mammalian B lymphocyte precursor cells.
4. The method of claim 1 wherein the hormone is administered to cells in culture.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the hormone is administered to a patient in need of treatment to alter selectively the production of mammalian B lymphocyte precursor cells. β. The method of claim 5 wherein the patient has an autoimmune disorder and the amount is effective to decrease selectively the production of mammalian B lymphocyte precursor cells and thereby decrease selectively the production of mature B lymphocytes which secrete autoantibodies.
7. The method of claim 5 further comprising administering to a patient in need of treatment to increase calcium deposition by stromal cells of bone marrow a hormone selected from the group consisting of chorionic gonadotropin, hormone eliciting agents, hormone antagonists, and combinations thereof in an amount effective to increase calcium deposition by stromal cells of bone marrow.
8. The method of claim 4 wherein the cells are bone marrow cells in culture.
9. The method of claim 3, wherein the hormone is administered to a patient in need of treatment.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the patient has an autoimmune disorder and the amount is effective to decrease production of B lymphocyte precursor cells by proliferation or differentiation and thereby decrease production of mature B lymphocytes that secrete autoantibodies.
11. The method of claim 9, wherein the patient has an immune deficiency disease and the amount is effective to increase production of B lymphocyte precursor cells by proliferation or differentiation and thereby increase production of mature B lymphocytes.
12. The method of claim 9, further comprising administering to a patient in need of treatment a hormone selected from the group consisting of chorionic gonadotropin, hormone eliciting agents, agents that interfere with the synthesis or activity of the hormones elevated during pregnancy,
