Abstract

Immune response modifier compounds—imidazoquinoline amines, imidazopyridine amines, 6,7-fused cycloalkylimidazopyridine amines, and 1,2-bridged imidazoquinoline amines—are useful for the treatment of TH2 mediated diseases by administering a therapeutically effective amount of such compounds in order to inhibit TH2 immune response, suppress IL-4/IL-5 cytokine induction and eosinophilia, as well as enhance TH1 immune response.
