Key Factors Differentiating Tolerance vs Immunosuppression to Guide Development of Precise & Antigen-Specific Therapeutic Approaches 8:30 am

Understanding the specificity of current tolerance approaches to benchmark against traditional immunosuppression, drawing upon tolerance definitions from the Immune Tolerance Network’s clinical trials in autoimmunity, allergy, and transplant Highlighting the role of antigen-specificity and bystander tolerance in therapeutic approaches Leveraging insight from the Immune Tolerance Network’s current clinical trials to induce tolerance in autoimmune diseases…Read more

day: Conference Day One

Panel Discussion: Evaluating Antigen-Specific vs Antigen-Non-Specific Approaches: Assessing ‘Tolerance’ to Benchmark Tolerizing Strategies 11:00 am

Reviewing what we mean by ‘tolerance’ in autoimmune diseases to understand the end goal and refine biomarker, preclinical model, dosage, and delivery considerations Discussing antigen-non-specific or antigen-agnostic approaches Debating the possibilities of antigen-specific approaches for autoimmune diseases by looking cross-field to both allergy and transplant successesRead more
