  • Enhanced immune response against infections
    Publication number: 20110287045
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the discovery that Tat polypeptides may be used as immunoregulators to enhance the immune response to infectious diseases. More particularly, Tat polypeptides may be used as immunoregulators to enhance immune responses to microbial infections, for example, viral and bacterial infections. In accordance with the present invention, Tat polypeptides interact with CCR3 to stimulate platelet activation. The novel finding of the present inventors, therefore, presents new applications for which Tat nucleic and amino acid sequences, and compositions thereof may be used to advantage. Applications for which the Tat nucleic and amino acid sequences and compositions thereof of the invention may be used include, but are not limited to, various research and therapeutic applications as described herein. Also provided is a kit comprising Tat nucleic and/or amino acid sequences, Tat activity compatible buffers, and instruction materials.
