摘要:
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.

摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for the treatment of conditions characterised by abnormalities of myocardial cell ion levels, such as Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ions. The present invention also relates to methods of treatment of heart failure and myocardial hypertrophy. The invention also relates to compounds and compositions, such as β3 adrenoceptor agonists, useful in the treatment of mammals, particularly humans, having a condition characterised by abnormalities of myocardial cell ion levels, such as Na+, K+ and Ca2+ ions, including heart failure and myocardial hypertrophy.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods for modulating one or more of a T-helper cell or monocyte lineage cell-mediated immune response in a subject, the method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound which binds to surface membrane immunoglobulin D (smIgD). Also provided are methods of diagnosis of one or more of a T-helper cell or monocyte lineage cell-mediated immune disease, and compositions and kits for use in such methods.

摘要:
Methods for determining the viability of an embryo or an embryo precursor, comprising measuring the level of a polypeptide or peptide released by a cultured embryo or embryo precursor into the culture medium are disclosed. The polypeptide may be p53. Also disclosed are methods of ranking embryos on the basis of their viability using such methods. Methods for screening for agents which modulate embryo viability, as measured by changes in the level of a polypeptide marker released by a cultured embryo or embryo precursor are also described.
