Abstract: Disclosed is a method for vaccination against a self-antigen in a human patient wherein a dose with an effective amount of a self-antigen is administered to the patient to elicit a primary immune response, characterised in that the patient is subjected to a boost administration of said self-antigen, wherein the amount of the self-antigen in the dose for the boost administration is higher than the amount of the self-antigen in the dose used in the administration for the primary immune response.
