Abstract: Methods and compositions for the modification of immune response by modulating of the Notch signaling pathway are provided, together with methods for the treatment of disorders characterized by the presence of an unwanted immune response. Such compositions comprise components derived from Mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium vaccae.

Abstract: Methods for the treatment of skin disorders, including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, alopecia areata, skin cancers, and related disorders, such as psoriatic arthritis are provided, such methods comprising administering a composition having antigenic and/or adjuvant properties. Compositions which may be usefully employed in the inventive methods include inactivated M. vaccae cells, delipidated and deglycolipidated M. vaccae cells, M. vaccae culture filtrate and compounds present in or derived therefrom, together with combinations of such compositions.

Abstract: Methods for the prevention and treatment by immunotherapy of lung immune disorders, including infection with mycobacteria such as M. tuberculosis or M. avium, sarcoidosis, asthma, allergic rhinitis and lung cancers are provided, such methods comprising administering a composition having antigenic and/or adjuvant properties. Compositions which may be usefully employed in the inventive methods include inactivated M. vaccae cells, delipidated and deglycolipidated M. vaccae cells, M. vaccae culture filtrate and compounds present in or derived therefrom, together with combinations of such components.
