Peptide immunotherapy for allergic and autoimmune diseases

Main Article Content

Abstract

Peptide-based immunotherapy has been developed in animal models and has been evaluated for human immunotherapy. Dominant T cell epitopes have been identified in both murine and human systems. Peptides based on these epitopes have been shown to prevent the induction of disease and to modulate ongoing disease in murine models of diseases following subcutaneous, oral, intranasal and intravenous administration. Peptide-induced tolerance has been demonstrated in models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), arthritis, diabetes (IDDM), myasthenia gravis, and more recently, in models of allergic sensitization with allergen sources including house dust mite, birch, bee venom and cat.
