摘要:
The present invention relates to peptides and peptide analogues designed from HFE protein. In particular, it relates to peptides and peptide analogues designed from an alpha-1 region of HFE protein which lowers the binding affinity of transferrin receptor for transferrin. Such compounds mimic HFE protein function, and reduce iron uptake and/or accumulation by a cell.

摘要:
The present invention concerns methods and compositions for in vivo and in vitro targeting. A large number of targeting peptides directed towards human organs, tissues or cell types are disclosed. The peptides are of use for targeted delivery of therapeutic agents, including but not limited to gene therapy vectors. A novel class of gene therapy vectors is disclosed. Certain of the disclosed peptides have therapeutic use for inhibiting angiogenesis, inhibiting tumor growth, inducing apoptosis, inhibiting pregnancy or inducing weight loss. Methods of identifying novel targeting peptides in humans, as well as identifying endogenous receptor-ligand pairs are disclosed. Methods of identifying novel infectious agents that are causal for human disease states are also disclosed. A novel mechanism for inducing apoptosis is further disclosed.

The present invention provides peptides which affect T cells, presumably by action on the T-cell antigen receptors. The present invention further relates to the therapy of various inflammatory and autoimmune disease states involving the use of these peptides. Specifically the peptides are useful in the treatment of disorders where T-cells are involved or recruited. In one aspect the peptides have the formula R1-A-B-A-R2 in which A is a hydrophobic amino acid or a hydrophobic peptide sequence comprising between 2 and 10 amino acids; B is a charged amino acid; R1 is NH2 and R2 is COOH. In another aspect the peptides have the formula R1-A B-C-R2 in which A is a peptide sequence of between 0 and 5 amino acids; B is cysteine; C is a peptide sequence of between 2 to 10 amino acids; R1 is NH2 and R2 is COOH.
