  • Publication number: 20230192768
    Abstract: Peptide with high binding affinity for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?). The peptide has an amino acid sequence of SEQ.ID.NO.1, or the peptide is a tandem or branched peptide with a single repeat or multiple repeats of SEQ.ID.NO.1 and SEQ.ID.NO.3 and has an amino acid sequence of SEQ.ID.NO.4. The peptide can bind to TNF-? with high affinity and can antagonize TNF-? function. When being directly injected to an animal, the peptide can significantly reduce the degree of inflammation of an animal body and improve the resistance of the animal body on an inflammatory damage. The peptide can be used for developing TNF-? antagonist drugs for treating various acute and chronic inflammatory damage, such as inflammatory, autoimmune and stress damage caused by physical, chemical and biological factors. Thus, the peptide has an extremely wide application prospect.

  • Patent number: 11377501
    Abstract: The present invention provides a peptide having high binding affinity for PD-L1 protein and use thereof. The peptide has an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 4, or the peptide is a tandem or branched peptide with a single repeat or multiple repeats of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 3 and SEQ ID NO: 4 and has an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 5. The peptide can bind to human PD-L1 with high affinity, competitively block the affinity of PD-1/PD-L1 protein, block the negative regulatory tolerance pathway of human tumors, activate immunity and increase the lethality of T cells against tumor cells.

  • Patent number: 8895237
    Abstract: This invention relates to a HB vaccine enhancing protein, its gene, gene engineering method for expressing this protein, and the application of this method. The cDNA of this protein, which is screened out from human liver cDNA library, is sequenced and then cloned into prokaryotic or eukaryotic (animal or plant) cell for expression of protein coded by the cDNA (for example, cloning into prokaryotic expression carrier and expression in E. coli) and purification of the protein. The protein obtained, when used with HB vaccine, can significantly increase the effect of the vaccine, the immune power of HBV carrier, and the titer of antibody. The protein can be used as an adjutant to HB vaccine.
