  • Publication number: 20230058316
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a modified HRF binding peptide. The modified HRF-binding peptide according to the present invention can exert drug efficacy with high stability in vivo, can be effectively used as a drug because the number of administrations can be reduced due to its longer half-life, and can prevent or treat allergies, malaria, autoimmune diseases, acute or chronic inflammatory diseases, hypertension, and cancer in humans as well as animals by effectively inhibiting histamine secretion in cells.

  • Patent number: 11518805
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a receptor-binding domain of an IgE-dependent histamine releasing factor (HRF), and a use thereof, and more specifically, ascertains, as an HRF structural region, and a FL domain and an H2 domain which bind to a receptor of HRF existing in a cell membrane, ascertains the C-terminus domain of the HRF, and ascertains that a material binding thereto inhibits IL-8 secretion, thereby determining that the FL and H2 domains and the C-terminus domain can be utilized in: the development of a therapeutic agent for treatment and prevention of HRF-related disease including allergic diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, and anaphylaxis; inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis; and malaria, and a method for screening for the HRF-related diseases.

  • Patent number: 7772368
    Abstract: The present invention relates to IgE-dependent histamine releasing factor (HRF) and HRF-binding peptides, more precisely, deletion forms of HRF which are able to be formed as dimers containing amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:3, genes encoding thereof and novel HRF-binding peptides having an activity of inhibiting HRF. The deletion forms of HRF which are able to be formed as dimers of the present invention induces intracellular secretion of histamine and IL-8, making an excellent candidate for a drug for inhibiting allergic reaction triggered by HRF and a kit for detecting HRF in serum of an allergy patient. In addition, novel HFR-binding peptides of the present invention bind to HRF to inhibit the actions of HFR, so they can be effectively used for the prevention and the treatment of allergic diseases of animals including asthma and rhinitis or malaria.
