Compositions and methods useful in the prevention or amelioration of autoimmune disorders, through immunostimulation of the innate component of the immune system are provided. In addition, the methods for the diagnosis or prediction of propensity to develop autoimmune disorders are provided, thus, permitting early treatment and, preferably, amelioration and prevention of such disorders reaching a clinical diagnosis. This stimulation of the innate arm of the immune response serves to improve or restore self-tolerance, thus, abrogating the autoimmune process. |
