Physiologically active peptides of the formula (I): A-(-R1-)-xR2-Cys-R3-B, wherein each variable has the meaning defined in the description, the entire peptide sequence containing up to 20 amino acid residues; and homo- or heterodimers thereof. These peptides are absorbable by the epithelial cell lining in a mammal resulting in a modulated immune response and thereby a therapeutic effect against disease. |
