IMMUNOMODULATORY PROTEINS

摘要

A method for treatment of a mammalian subject for an autoimmune or inflammatory disease, the method comprising: administering to the mammalian subject an effective amount of a polymeric protein comprising five, six or seven polypeptide monomer units; wherein each polypeptide monomer unit comprises an Fc receptor binding portion comprising two immunoglobulin G heavy chain constant regions; wherein each immunoglobulin G heavy chain constant region comprises a cysteine residue which is linked via a disulfide bond to a cysteine residue of an immunoglobulin G heavy chain constant region of an adjacent polypeptide monomer unit; wherein the polymeric protein does not comprise a further immunomodulatory portion; or an antigen portion that causes antigen-specific immunosuppression when administered to the mammalian subject.
