Abstract: A method for preventing or treating an inflammatory disease, such as inflammatory bowel disease and Crohn disease, is presented. The method includes administering to a patient a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, a conservative derivative or a fragment thereof, a nucleic acid sequence encoding said polypeptide, a vector comprising said nucleic acid sequence or a host cell that has been transfected, infected or transformed by said nucleic acid sequence and/or by said vector.

Abstract: A polypeptide including or consisting of the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO: 1, for use in the treatment or prevention of an inflammatory disease. A nucleic acid sequence encoding the polypeptide, a vector including the nucleic acid and a host cell including the nucleic acid sequence and/or a vector, for use in the treatment or prevention of an inflammatory disease are also described. A pharmaceutical composition including the polypeptide, the nucleic acid sequence, the vector or the host cell and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for the treatment of inflammatory disease are also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention concerns micro-organism strains, in particular of lactic acid bacteria, having a glycosylation modulating effect of intestinal cell surface. The invention also concerns a method for selecting micro-organism strains, in particular of lactic acid bacteria, which consists in measuring the average fluorescence intensity variation of HT29-MTX cells incubated in the presence of a lectin coupled with a fluorochrome after being in contact with the supernatant of the strain concerned. Said lactic acid bacteria strains can be used, optionally in the form of their active fraction, for preparing food compositions or medicines or food supplements, modulating glycosylation of glycoproteins of intestinal epithelial cells.
