摘要:
The present invention comprises cyclic peptides bearing antitumor and antiangiogenic properties, as well as their corresponding pharmaceutically-suitable salts and also pharmaceutical compositions containing it. These cyclic peptides are used to prepare medicines for human and/or veterinary therapeutics, and additionally in diagnosis. These compounds can be used to detect, monitor and/or control a range of cellular proliferation-related disorders, such as oncological diseases and undesired angiogenesis. Moreover, they can be included as part of controlled release systems, and used more precisely in the field of nanobiotechnology, either because of their self-assembly capacity or as part of other systems.

摘要:
The present invention relates to five synthetic peptides of pre-M/M protein of Dengue-2 virus, corresponding to amino acid sequences 3-31, 45-67, 57-92, 69-93 and 103-124. The anti-peptide immune response was evaluated in mice. Recombinant fusion proteins were also obtained, including regions of pre-M/M protein. The presence of B cell epitopes in both mice and humans was demonstrated in the pre-M/M protein peptides. Peptides 3-31 and 103-124 elicited neutralizing antibodies against the four serotypes of Dengue virus. Virus-specific proliferative responses were demonstrated in mice immunized with non-conjugated peptides 3-31 and 57-92. Mice immunized with conjugated peptides 3-31, 57-92, and 69-93 were protected when they were challenged with Dengue-2 virus. Thus, the presence of sequential epitopes in Pre-M/M protein of Dengue-2 virus was demonstrated, as well as their relevance in the immune response against this flavivirus.
摘要:
The present invention is related to a method for blocking the infection of cells by dengue virus, based on interfering the direct interaction of the viral envelope protein with a cellular receptor or its indirect interaction with said cellular receptor through a carrier protein, as well as related uses; wherein said cellular receptor is the alpha-2 macroglobulin receptor, also known as the low density receptor-related protein or as CD91, and said carrier protein is human alpha-2 macroglobulin.
