Abstract

Methods and products for modulating an immune response are provided. Pharmaceutical preparations contain a conjugate of an antigen and a FcRn binding partner. The conjugates are administered to mammals in effective amounts to modulate the immune system by stimulating the immune response against the antigen or tolerizing the immune system to the antigen. The antigen may be characteristic of a pathogen, of an autoimmune disease or of an allergen.
