  • Publication number: 20250177503
    Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising nanoparticles associated with or without one or more tolerogenic antigens, and compositions comprising an immunomodulatory agent (e.g., interleukin-2 (IL-2) or an IL-2 variant or an IL-2/IC)), and related methods involving co-administration of such compositions for purposes of inducing amplification of regulatory T cells (Tregs) (e.g., antigen-specific regulatory Tregs). The present invention further provides methods of treating autoimmune disorders through administering to a subject a composition comprising nanoparticles associated with or without one or more tolerogenic antigens associated with the autoimmune disorder prior to administering to the subject a composition comprising an immunomodulatory agent.
