A method for treating in a subject with an inflammatory disorder and/or immunological disorder associated with NOD2 activation includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one tyro sine kinase inhibitor that substantially inhibits nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain containing 2 (NOD2):receptor-interacting protein 2 (RIP2) signaling in a NOD2-bearing cell and is not cytotoxic to the cell.
