Research Abstract |
We isolated a novel peptide (TCP353) that specifically binds to sera from Crohn's disease (CD) patients using a phage display technique. TCP353 peptide stimulates the pro-inflammatory responses of CD mononuclear cells. An ELISA analysis for antibodies to TCP-353 demonstrated that while 61.7% of the samples from CD patients were seroreactive, seroreactivity was less common among patients with other diseases. TCP353 may have diagnostic, pathogenic and therapeutic significance with regard to the treatment of CD.
