Publication number: 20240207308Abstract: A composition includes fibronectin peptides derived from the integrin-binding domain of fibronectin. The composition may inhibit self-activation of primary dendritic cells derived from lymphoid tissue isolated from the spleen. In a culture method, the activation of the primary dendritic cells cultured by adding the peptides can be normally induced by an immunostimulant. The primary lymphoid tissue dendritic cells activated while being cultured with the peptide combination enhance the proliferation of T cells and induce the production of cytokines such as interferon upon co-culture with T cells. The compound can be effectively used as a composition for the prevention or treatment of cancer, autoimmune diseases and inflammatory diseases, through dendritic cell culture, the induction of dendritic cell activation, and T cell proliferation by co-culture with dendritic cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 4, 2022Publication date: June 27, 2024Inventors: Jong Young KWAK, Perry Ayn Mayson MAZA
