An adoptive immunotherapy using ex vivo-generated regulatory T cells may be used for the suppression of undesireable immune response. T cells are to be obtained from the patient's blood, and upon exposure to a set of toxins from the pathogen A. actinomycetemcomitans, the population of regulatory T cells will be enriched ex vivo and adoptively transferred back to the patient. The novel aspect of the present invention is that it generates large numbers of type 1 regulatory T cells, which secrete Interleukin-10.
