Novel oligopeptides comprising a sequence derived by a computer program are provided for use in inhibiting cytotoxic activity of lymphocytic cells, inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory responses associated with those cytokines, inhibiting the activity of heme-containing enzymes and delaying the onset of an autoimmune disease in a mammal at risk of developing the disease. By combining the subject compositions with mixtures of cells comprising lymphocytic cells and cells which would otherwise activate the lymphocytic cells, lysis of the target cells can be substantially inhibited. The oligopeptides may be joined to a wide variety of other groups or compounds for varying the activity of the subject compositions. The subject compositions may be administered by any convenient means to a host to inhibit lymphocytic attack on tissue, particularly involved with xenogeneic or allogeneic transplants or to inhibit the production of inflammatory cytokines and inflammatory responses associated therewith. The subject compositions may also be used in the inhibition of the activity of heme-containing enzymes.

L'invention a trait à de nouveaux oligopeptides renfermant une séquence dérivée à l'aide d'un programme informatique et utilisables pour entraver l'activité cytotoxique de cellules lymphocytaires, inhiber la production de cytokines inflammatoires et empêcher une réaction d'inflammation provoquée par ces cytokines ainsi qu'entraver l'activité d'enzymes contenant des hèmes et retarder l'apparition d'une maladie auto-immune chez un mammifère sujet à ce type d'état pathologique. L'association des compositions de l'invention à des mélanges de cellules comportant des cellules lymphocytaires et des cellules qui, sinon, seraient de nature à activer les cellules lymphocytaires, permet d'empêcher sensiblement la lyse des cellules cibles. Il est possible d'adjoindre ces oligopeptides à une large gamme d'autres groupes ou d'autres composés afin de diversifier l'action des compositions de l'invention. On peut administrer celles-ci à un hôte par tout moyen pertinent et ce, afin d'interdire toute attaque de lymphocytes contre un tissu, ayant notamment fait l'objet d'hétérogreffe ou d'allogreffe, ou afin d'inhiber la production de cytokines inflammatoires et d'empêcher des réactions d'inflammation associées. On peut également utiliser les compositions de l'invention pour entraver l'action d'enzymes contenant des hèmes.
