Abstract: The invention describes kit of parts of polypeptides comprising: a) a peptide comprising: a1) an MHC class II T cell epitope or a CD1 d-restricted NKT cell epitope, and a2) immediately adjacent to said epitope or separated by at most 7 amino acids from said epitope a [CST]-X(2)-C [SEQ ID NO:7] or C-X(2)-[CST] [SEQ ID NO:8] oxidoreductase motif sequence, and b) a poly-peptide comprising: b1) a therapeutic protein and b2) the epitope defined in a1), wherein the epitope sequence is a sequence which differs from the sequence of the protein of b1). The therapeutic protein, in combination with the peptide, is used to prevent an immune response against the therapeutic protein.

Abstract: The invention relates to peptides such as HCPYCSLQPLALEGSLQKRG [SEQ ID NO: 26] and their use in the treatment of type 1 diabetes and the generation of cytolytic CD4+ T cell.

Abstract: A process for treating a substrate, being a fabric or leather, where an homogenous mixture of particles based on a maleimide polymer comprising a thermo-regulator additive is applied to a substrate and subsequently dried on it.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for fireproofing textiles based on a composition having two components comprising: a component A comprising at least one phosphorous compound; and a component B comprising urea and at least one pH buffer, optionally with an oxidizing agent. Said method for fireproofing textiles includes the steps of immersing said textiles in said composition, and of heating, oxidizing and then washing said textiles, which then have excellent human-ecological, comfort, and durable fireproofing properties.
