Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

TIR-domain decoy peptides and TIR domain peptides are disclosed, as well as methods of using the peptides in the regulation of toll-like receptor (TLR) activation and signaling.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of inhibiting TIR:TIR interaction between two TIR (Toll/IL-1 receptor) domain-bearing proteins, comprising contacting a cell expressing TIR domain-bearing proteins with one or more TIR-derived decoy peptides, wherein the TIR-derived decoy peptides are selected from the group consisting of: TRAP (Toll/interleukin-1 receptor domain-containing adapter protein) based, TIR-derived decoy peptides TR3 (RQIKIWFQNRRMKWKKEGSQASLRCF; SEQ ID NO:1), TR5 (RQIKI…
