    摘要: A modified human TNFα molecule is capable of raising neutralizing antibodies towards unmodified human TNFα following administration of the modified TNFα to a human host, wherein one or more peptide fragments of the human TNFα molecule has been substituted by one or more peptides containing immunodominant T cell epitopes or a truncated form of the molecule containing the immunodominant epitope and one or both flanking regions of the human TNFα-molecule containing at least one TNFα B cell epitope, wherein the substitution introduces a substantial change in the amino acid sequence of any one of the strands of the front β-sheet, in any one of the connecting loops, or in any one of the B′, I, or D strands of the back β-sheet.

    摘要: Disclosed are novel methods for combating diseases characterized by deposition of amyloid. The methods generally rely on immunization against amyloidogenic proteins (proteins contributing to formation of amyloid) such as beta amyloid (Aβ). Immunization is preferably effected by administration of analogues of autologous amyloidogenic polypeptides, said analogues being capable of inducing antibody production against the autologous amyloidogenic polypeptides. Especially preferred as an immunogen is autologous Aβ which has been modified by introduction of one single or a few foreign, immunodominant and promiscuous T-cell epitopes while substantially preserving the majority of Aβ's B-cell epitopes. Also disclosed are nucleic acid vaccination against amyloidogenic polypeptides and vaccination using live vaccines as well as methods and means useful for the vaccination. Such methods and means include methods for identification of useful immunogenic analogues of the amyloidogenic proteins, methods for the preparation of analogues and pharmaceutical formulations, as well as nucleic acid fragments, vectors, transformed cells, polypeptides and pharmaceutical formulations.
