Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising at least three peptide fragments consisting of 10 to 50 consecutive amino acid residues of at least one wild-type allergen fused to the N- and C-terminus of a surface polypeptide of a virus of the hepadnaviridae family or at least one fragment of said surface polypeptide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hypoallergenic protein consisting of at least one hypoallergenic molecule derived from an allergen, which is fused or conjugated to at least one second non-allergenic protein or fragment thereof.

Abstract: Hypoallergenic mosaic antigens assembled from naturally-occurring allergens are disclosed herein. Also disclosed are methods of making such hypoallergenic mosaic antigens, particularly those derived from plant allergens such as timothy grass pollen (Phl p 1 and Phl p 2) and birch pollen (Bet v 1). In a particularly preferred embodiment, the method of making the hypoallergenic mosaic antigen involves the steps of (a) cleaving a naturally-occurring allergen into at least two, preferably at least three non-overlapping peptide fragments and (b) recombining the peptide fragments such that the mosaic antigen includes all or substantially all of the amino acids of the original naturally-occurring allergen, though in a different order.

Abstract: A nutritional formulation or supplement comprising a cow's milk peptide-containing hydrolysate and/or peptide-containing fraction of the hydrolysate and/or one or more peptides derived from a protein present in cow's milk for use in the induction of tolerance in a human subject, wherein said peptides contained in the hydrolysate or fraction of hydrolysate comprise T cell epitope-containing peptides or wherein said one or more peptides are T cell epitope-containing peptides, and wherein said T cell epitope-containing peptides are capable of driving the immune reaction upon intake of the nutritional formulation towards tolerance.
