Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this study is 1) to elucidate epitope presentation in Graves’ disease (GD), and 2) to establish epitope specific therapy for GD. We have reported that human TSH receptor (AA78-94) was an important epitope. Therapeutic role of the mutant human TSH receptor peptide: 37m, was evaluated in this study. GD model of HLA-DR3 transgenic mice was treated with 37m. The thyrotoxicosis was improved, TRAb production was suppressed, and proportion of regulatory T-cells in the spleen was increased. Therefore, immune-regulatory effects of 37m were observed.
