  • Patent number: 9890202
    Abstract: Peptides are provided that are capable of inhibiting cell activation mediated by a Toll-like receptor (TLR) selected from TLR 1, 2, 4 or 6, said peptide comprising a sequence consisting of, or found within, the sequence of the transmembrane domain of a TLR selected from TLR 1, 2, 4 or 6 and optionally cytoplasmic and extracellular regions flanking the transmembrane domain. These peptides as well as pharmaceutical composition comprising them are useful for the treatment of TLR-mediated disease.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9346854
    Abstract: Isolated peptides of 13-30 amino acids comprising 5-9 consecutive repeats of the amino acid pair Alanine-Leucine or Alanine-Valine are provided. The peptides further comprise a stretch of 1-3 Lysine residues present at least at one of the peptide's termini, wherein the only Lysine residue in the isolated peptide is present at the stretch of 1-3 Lysine residues. Pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, methods of treating inflammatory conditions and allergic reactions, as well as methods of neutralizing the activity of lypopolysaccharides are also provided.
