Abstract: Methods and compositions comprising recombinant Arginase I proteins which are capable of depleting the plasma arginine levels in a subject are disclosed. The methods and compositions can be used to modulate the activity of the immune system in a subject. Modulation of the immune system is useful in the treatment of immune disorders and in preventing rejection of a transplanted organ, tissue, or cell. The methods and compositions can also be used to treat a bone condition of a subject.
