<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide isolated new peptides that can be used to modulate innate immunity in a subject, and/or for the treatment of an immune-related disorder, including treating and preventing infection by modulating innate immunity. <P>SOLUTION: There are provided an agent reactive with this peptide, a pharmaceutical composition that includes the peptide, an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the peptide, a recombinant nucleic acid construct that includes the nucleic acid molecule, at least one host cell comprising the recombinant nucleic acid construct, and a method of producing the peptide using the host cell. The present invention further provides the method for treating and/or preventing infection in the subject by administering the peptide to the subject, thereby modulating innate immunity in the subject. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for predicting whether the subject would be responsive to treatment with the peptide. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
