IL-21/IL-21R antagonists can be used to induce immune suppression in vivo, e.g., for treating, ameliorating or preventing autoimmune or inflammatory disorders, including, e.g., inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), transplant/graft rejection, psoriasis, asthma, fibrosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for inducing cross-protective immunity against virulent strains of P. multocida in animals such as cattle and poultry. The methods of the invention include administering to an animal a mutant P. multocida strain, whereby the mutant P. multocida strain induces cross-protective immunity against one or more virulent P. multocida strains having serotypes that are different from the serotype of the mutant P. multocida strain. The mutant P. multocida strain will preferably contain one or more mutations that cause the cells to be acapsular and/or attenuated. Exemplary mutations include, e.g., mutations that impair the expression of one or more genes in the P. multocida capsule biosynthetic operon (e.g., phyB, phyA, hyaE, hyaD, hyaC, hyaB, hexD, hexC, hexB, and/or hexA).
