A possible mechanism of immunoregulation produced by alpha 2-macroglobulin.

abstract：:A variety of chemical compounds are currently being discussed as novel drug delivery strategies. One promising strategy is to selectively open the paracellular pathway of epithelia for the passage of macromolecules. A prerequisite for this effect is a rapid and reversible action of these compounds, to allow a marked t...
