Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is directed to a method of inhibiting CD1d activation by administering a composition containing a moiety that blocks CD1d activation. Compositions of the invention are useful for the attenuation of CD1d-restricted immune responses, including treatment of skin disorders due to hyperactive immune responses (e.g., contact hypersensitivity), for systemic administration to attenuate ongoing immune responses, and to provide hypoallergenic cosmetic products including pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and skin care compositions. Preferably, these compositions are in a form intended for topical administration.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition formulated for topical administration comprising: (a) an agent that attenuates CD1d-restricted NK T cell responses, wherein 1) the agent is a phospholipid conjugated to polyethylene glycol (PEG) that binds CD1d and i) inhibits activation of CD1d-restricted NK T cells or ii) blocks CD1d-specific receptors, 2) the phospholipid is 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine (DPPE), and 3) the DPPE is present in an amount greater than 2.5% weight per volume; and (b) a carrier for topical administration, wherein the carrier is a vegetable oil. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the agent is present in an amount between 2.5% weight per volume and 10.0% weight per volume. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the agent is 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-Glycero-3-Phosphoethanolamine-N-[Poly (ethylene glycol) 2000] (DPPE-PEG).
