Abstract

A combination of a mucosally administrable bystander antigen and an orally, enterally, or parenterally administrable methotrexate is employed to make a pharmaceutical formulation and to treat or prevent autoimmune disease. The amounts of bystander antigen and methotrexate are effective in combination to suppress autoimmune response associated with the autoimmune disease
