<p>Methods of modulating mammalian T-cell response restricted by an MHC and methods of treating an MHC-linked disease in a mammal suspected of requiring such modulation or treatment, are provided by the invention. The methods comprise treating the mammal or contacting the T-cells respectively with an effective amount of a peptide, which peptide has an amino acid sequence substantially corresponding to at least a portion of the antigen recognition site of said MHC, or a peptide mimetic wherein said peptide or peptide mimetic is capable of binding with a T-cell antigen receptor which unbound T-cell antigen receptor is capable of recognizing said MHC bound to an antigen.</p> |
