The invention relates to the use of stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) for the treatment of brain-related diseases, disorders and damage, such as manic-depressive illness or manic-depressive psychosis, schizophrenia, depressive syndromes without endogenous cause, autism, disturbances of cerebral development during and after the embryonal stage, Downs syndrome, brain damage due to accidents or other causes, and Parkinson's disease. After activation of the PMBC the stimulated cells can possibly also be treated with gamma-interferon and/or alpha-interferon. |
