THERAPEUTIC MANNAN LINKED MYLEIN BASIC PROTEIN PEPTIDE MBP83-99

摘要

A first aspect of the invention relates to a conjugate comprising: (i) mannan; and (ii) at least one epitope comprising a peptide fragment of a protein selected from myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodentrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and proteolipid protein (PLP), said peptide fragment being in linear or cyclic form; wherein said epitope is linked to mannan via a[(LyS-Gly)n] bridge, where n is an integer from 1 to 10. Further aspects of the invention relate to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said conjugates, and their use in the preparation of a medicament for treating an immune disorder.
