Title:
AGER-PEPTIDES AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006077101
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to the identification, functionality and use of domains of the N-terminus of the receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (AGER). Said domains are highly conserved in all AGER protein sequences, with the designated receptor multimerisation epitop (RME). They represent mediators for the AGER automatic association and heteromerisation with other proteins. The invention also relates to the identification, functionality and use of peptides which are derived from the C-domains of AGER (AGER-CDP). The inventive AGER-RMEs and AGER-CDPs are suitable as targets for identifying AGER-ligands, which modulate natural ligand exchange effects as immunogens for the active or passive immunisation of individuals, as diagnostic means which are used to identify immunogenic reactions, and as peptide ligands which are used to modulate protein-protein-exchange effects involving AGER.
