摘要:
This disclosure demonstrates a novel therapy immunological approach using polyamine-based therapy (PBT) for relieving tumor-induced suppression of the patient's immune system. The demonstration of the pharmacological release from the naturally occurring polyamine-mediated immune suppression offers profound impact on the immunotherapy of cancer together with a variety of diseases caused by the disease-causing vector's ability to evade an immune reaction. This therapeutic approach is equally applicable to disease states whereby immune system suppression by polyamines has been demonstrated including; bacterial infections, parasitic infections including malaria and typanosomiasis, viral infections, peptic ulcers and gastric cancer due to H. Pylori infection together with prevention of pregnancy. With a small molecule drug, used in combination with DFMO, the pharmacological manipulation of polyamine levels for therapeutic benefit in various disease states is possible.
