Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods for the prevention and/or treatment of cardiovascular and allergic diseases and disorders, methods for inhibiting the growth of, or reducing the volume of, a solid tumor, as well as methods for preventing progression to AIDS in an HIV-infected human, by administering a peptide derived from T cell receptors, or a derivative thereof The present invention also relates to peptides derived from T-cell receptors, and derivatives thereof, which are useful in such methods. The peptides are selected from the group consisting of Cys Lys Pro Ile Ser Gly His Asn Ser Leu Phe Trp Tyr Arg Gln Thr (SEQ ID NO:1), Ala Asn Tyr Gly Tyr Thr Phe Gly Ser Gly Thr Arg Leu Thr Val Val (SEQ ID NO:2), Leu Lys Ile Gln Pro Ser Glu Pro Arg Asp Ser Ala Val Tyr Leu Cys Ala (SEQ ID NO:3), Leu Thr Ile Gln Arg Thr Gln Gln Glu Asp Ser Ala Val Tyr Leu Cys Ala (SEQ ID NO:4), Leu Ile Leu Glu Ser Ala Ser Thr Asn Gln Thr Ser Met Tyr Leu Cys Ala (SEQ ID NO:5), Leu Thr Val Ser Gly Leu Gln Ala Glu Asp Glu Ala Asp Tyr Tyr Cys Ser (SEQ ID NO:6), Leu Ala Ile Ser Gly Leu Glu Ser Glu Asp Glu Ala Asp Tyr Tyr Cys Ala (SEQ ID NO:7), Phe Thr Ile Ser Gly Leu Gln Pro Glu Asp Ile Ala Thr Tyr Tyr Cys Gln (SEQ ID NO:8), Leu Thr Ile Ser Gly Leu Glu Pro Glu Asp Phe Ala Val Tyr Tyr Cys Gln (SEQ ID NO:9), Leu Lys Ile Ser Arg Val Glu Ala Glu Asp Leu Gly Val Tyr Phe Cys Ser (SEQ ID NO:10) and Leu Thr Ile Asn Pro Val Glu Ala Asp Asp Val Ala Thr Tyr Tyr Cys Gln (SEQ ID NO: 11), Ala Asn Tyr Gly Tyr Thr Phe Gly Ser Gly Thr Lys Leu Thr Val Val (SEQ ID NO: 12), Ala Asn Tyr Gly Tyr Thr Phe Gly Ser Gly Thr Glu Leu Thr Val Val (SEQ ID NO:13), Ala Asn Tyr Gly Tyr Thr Phe Gly Ser Gly Thr Asp Leu Thr Val Val (SEQ ID NO:14), Thr Phe Gly Xaa Gly Thr Yaa, wherein Xaa is any amino acid and Yaa is Arg, Lys, Asp, Glu, His or other charged amino acid molecule (SEQ ID NO:15), or a derivative thereof.
