    摘要: A method of identifying potential polypeptide vaccines to an agent, such as viruses, bacteria, and parasites. A critical binding segment of a first polypeptide known to bind to a first MHC type, is ascertained. The effect of replacing each of the amino acids in the critical segment, upon binding of that segment to the first MHC type, is evaluated. Following this, a protein produced by the agent is scanned for at least one trial amino acid sequence which the foregoing evaluation indicates will be a good binder to the first MHC type. When a potentially good binding sequence is found, a polypeptide containing such sequence can be evaluated as a synthetic vaccine.

    摘要: The present invention provides compositions and methods of inhibiting or inducing activation of T cells in a patient. The methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective dose of pharmaceutical compositions comprising a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and peptides of between about 4 and about 20 residues, that bind antigen binding sites on MHC molecules encoded by substantially all alleles of a DR locus. These peptides are referred to as pan DR binding peptides. The pan DR binding peptides can be used to inhibit immune responses associated with immunopathologies, such as autoimmunity, allograft rejection and allergic responses. The peptides can also be used in combination with CTL peptides to enhance a CTL response.
