Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates generally to a method of modulating T cell functional activity by utilising .beta.-amino acid substituted peptides and to agents useful for the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of modulating class I restricted T cell activity by utilising .beta.-amino acid substituted peptides and to agents useful for the same. The method of the present invention is useful, inter alia, in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of conditions characterised by suboptimal T cell stimulation such as that which occurs in some viral infections and in anti-tumour immunity, as well as aberrant, unwanted or otherwise inappropriate T cell functioning such as, but not limited to, graft rejection or autoimmune conditions, the present invention is further directed to methods of identifying, designing and/or modifying agents capable of modulating T cell functional activity.
