Tregitope update: Mechanism of action parallels IVIg
28 Aug 2012
Abstract excerpt
In the course of screening immunoglobulin G (IgG) sequences for T cell epitopes, we identified novel Treg epitope peptides, now called Tregitopes, contained in the highly conserved framework regions of Fab and Fc. Tregitopes may provide one explanation for the expansion and stimulation of Treg cells following intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) therapy. Their distinguishing characteristics include in silico...
