Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/116210
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to amino acid peptides comprising the sequence FIEWNKLRFRQGLEW and their use in methods for the diagnosis and/ or treatment of immune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus. Typically, at least one amino acid moiety in the peptide is a D-amino acid; and/ or the peptide is in a head-to-tail cyclic configuration; and/ or multiple copies of the peptide are coupled to a non-immunogenic polymeric matrix such as polylysine (as a multiple antigen peptide or MAP). Typically the peptide is capable of inhibiting the production of autoantibodies that bind double stranded DNA in a mammal having systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
