Abstract: A method for overcoming mild to moderate immune suppression includes the steps of inducing production of naïve T-cells and restoring T-cell immunity. A  method of vaccine immunotherapy includes the steps of inducing production of naïve T-cells and exposing the naïve T-cells to endogenous or exogenous antigens at an appropriate site. Additionally, a method for unblocking immunization at a regional lymph node includes the steps of promoting differentiation and maturation of immature dendritic cells at a regional lymph node and allowing presentation of processed peptides by resulting mature dendritic cells, thus, for example, exposing tumor peptides to T-cells to gain immunization of the T-cells. Further, a method of treating cancer and other persistent lesions includes the steps of administering an effective amount of a natural cytokine mixture as an adjuvant to endogenous or exogenous administered antigen to the cancer or other persistent lesions.

Abstract: A method of controlling ignition timing of an engine. In the control method, final ignition timing for performing ignition is calculated by adding a variation component to a set ignition timing. According to the final ignition timing, an indicated average effective pressure of an in-cylinder pressure detected when ignition is performed is calculated. An ignition timing characteristic curve indicating the correlation between the indicated average effective pressure and the variation component is estimated and optimal ignition timing is calculated from the characteristic curve.  Feedback control for converging the set ignition timing to the optimal ignition timing is then performed. Consequently, the ignition timing is controlled to an optimal ignition timing corresponding to a current operational state of the engine.
