A method of modifying an antigen to modify the Th2-type bias of the Thl/Th2- type immune response of an animal exposed to the antigen, the method comprising decreasing the number of reactive carbonyl groups present in the antigen so as to decrease the Th2-type bias; or increasing the number of reactive carbonyl groups present in the antigen so as to increase the Th2-type bias. A pharmaceutical composition comprising an antigen modified by the method of the invention or a vaccine according to the invention or a composition according to the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Use of an antigen modified by the method of the invention or a vaccine according to the invention or a composition according to the invention or a pharmaceutical composition according to the invention in the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention or treatment of a disease.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de modifier un antigène, aux fins de modification de la polarisation de type Th2 de la réponse immune de type Thl/Th2 d'un animal exposé à l'antigène. Le procédé consiste à diminuer le nombre de groupes carbonyle réactifs présents dans l'antigène, de manière à diminuer la polarisation de type Th2; ou à augmenter le nombre de groupes carbonyle réactifs présents dans l'antigène, de manière à accroître la polarisation de type Th2. L'invention concerne également une composition pharmaceutique comprenant un antigène modifié au moyen du procédé selon l'invention ou un vaccin selon l'invention ou une composition selon l'invention et un excipient acceptable sur le plan pharmaceutique. L'invention concerne, en outre, l'utilisation d'un antigène modifié au moyen du procédé selon l'invention ou d'un vaccin selon l'invention ou d'une composition selon l'invention ou d'une composition pharmaceutique selon l'invention dans la fabrication d'un médicament destiné à la prévention ou au traitement d'une maladie.
