Subject: Anthony Fauci's Amazing Patents for Immune Suppression
Diseases!!

Hmm.
That's funny. Fauci says there is no such thing as a disease that
does not
cause inflammation.

Yet here is the Fauc tawkin boud a patented therapy for people who
have immune suppression
diseases from bacteria, viruses, fungi (OspA or LYMErix) and the
like. I hope he
can tell those nice, wonderful, honest people like Yale's Eugene
Shapiro that
there is, in fact, such a thing as an immune SUPPRESSION outcome from
an infection:

Gee, Ton. Can we have some?

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention pertains to a method for activating the immune
system of a
patient by intermittently administering interleukin-2 (IL-2) to that
patient. Such
administration of IL-2 can optionally be combined with other
therapies, such as
anti-retroviral, anti-bacterial or anti-fungal therapies, suitable for
treatment
of the patient's condition. This invention also relates to an approach
to gene
therapy that entails administering IL-2 to a patient so as to
facilitate in situ
lymphocyte transduction by a retroviral vector also administered to
the patient.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Attempts at immune activation and restoration in the past have
utilized bone marrow
transplantation or lymphocyte transfers (H. C. Lane et al., Ann.
Internal Med. 113:512-19
(1990)), immunomodulating agents such as immuthiol (J. M. Lang et al.,
Lancet 24:702-06
(1988)) or isoprinosine (C. Pedersen et al., N. Engl. J. Med. 322:
1757-63 (1990)),
and recombinant cytokines such as interferon alpha (IFN-.alpha.) and
IL-2. H. C.
Lane et al., Ann. Intern. Med. 112:805-11 (1990); H. C. Lane et al.,
J. Biol. Response
Mod. 3, 512-16 (1984); D. H. Schwartz et al., J. Acquir. Immune Defic.
Syndr. 4,
11-23 (1991); P. Mazza et al., Eur. J. Haematol. 49:1-6 (1992); H. W.
Murray et
al., Am. J. Med. 93:234 (1992); H. Teppler et al., J. Infect. Dis.
167:291-98 (1993);
P. Volberding et al., AIDS Res. Hum. Retroviruses 3:115-24 (1987).
These studies
have resulted in minimal or only transient immune system restoration.
