Abstract: This invention discloses immunopotentiating agents which stimulate an immune response. These agents are categorized into single agents that act directly, adjuvants added concurrently with the agents, or heteroconjugates. Heteroconjugate agents elicit or enhance a cellular or humoral immune response which may be specific for an epitope contained within an amino acid sequence. Enhanced hematopoieses by bone marrow stem cell recruitment was also a result of administering some of these agents. Examples of immunopotentiating agents include monoclonal antibodies and proteins derived from microorganisms (e.g., enterotoxins) which activate T cells. One method of treatment disclosed uses only the immunopotentiating agent to stimulate the immune system. Another uses adjuvants in combination with the agent. A third method employs heteroconjugates.
