摘要:Methods and products for suppressing a class II MHC-restricted immuneresponse in a mammal, or in mammalian cells, are described. The methods depend uponinhibiting invariant chain proteolysis by cathepsin S from class II MHC/invariant chaincomplexes, thereby reducing the competency of class II MHC molecules for bindingantigenic peptides, reducing presentation of antigenic peptides by class II MHCmolecules, and suppressing immune responses. The methods may be employed in thetreatment of autoimmune diseases, allergic responses, and organ or tissue graftrejection. New pharmaceutical and therapeutic compositions which are peptide-basedinhibitors of cathepsin S are also described
