摘要:
The present invention relates to peptides and methods of inhibiting fusion between the virion envelope of Flaviviruses and membranes of the target cell, the process that delivers the viral genome into the cell cytoplasm. The invention provides for methods which employ peptides or peptide derivatives to inhibit Flavivirus:cell fusion. The present invention is based in part on the discovery that E1 envelope glycoprotein of hepaciviruses and E2 envelope glycoprotein of pestivirus have previously undescribed structures, truncated class II fusion proteins. The present invention provides peptides and methods of treatment and prophylaxis of diseases induced by Flaviviruses.

The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting HIV-mediated cell killing which comprises inhibiting the interaction between the CS3 region and viral gp41 and its receptor on the surface of lymphocytes. The invention provides for methods which employ peptides, peptide derivatives, or antibodies to inhibit the CS3/CS3 receptor interaction. In addition, the invention also relates to the CS3 receptor.The present invention is based in part on the discovery that a CS3 specific cellular receptor is widely distributed on human lymphocytes and forms a 108 kd complex with CS3-HSA peptide conjugate. It was further discovered that CS3 peptide effectively blocks HIV mediated cell infection and killing. Therefore, the present invention provides for methods of treatment and prophylaxis of HIV infection as well as a means for better understanding the physiology of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS).
摘要:
This invention relates to novel analogs of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), which are agonists for the PACAP/vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) receptors: PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2 receptors. These PACAP analogs can be used as prophylactic/therapeutic agents for a wide range of medical disorders, including (but not limited to) cancer and autoimmune disease. These PACAP analogs can be coupled to suitable radionuclides and used in the localization, diagnosis and treatment of disseminated cancers and metastatic tumors, or coupled to small molecule therapeutics and used as vectors for targeted drug delivery. This invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions of one or more PACAP-like compounds of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other prophylactic/therapeutic agents.
