immunology - How to inhibit formation of specific antibodies (to antisera)?


Is there a way to inhibit an antibody response to a specific antigen using immunosupression? I am interested in reducing the anti-antibody formation to animal antibodies such as murine antibodies in antisera.


I have read that there are ways to decrease the immune response to antisera but haven't found a detailed paper on how they work.


Update 12/3/2014: Would this work? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2374127/pdf/0100491.pdf Although it is streptavidin, could a similar process be used for antibodies?
