CA 2371662

The invention relates to homodimers and heterodimers consisting of peptide monomers which have the amino acid sequence WDETLLKFYTELYQQL (monomer I), SLFSCLKDRHDFGFPQEEFGNQ (monomer II) or QGVGVTETPLMKEDSILAV (monomer III), or variants thereof. The homodimers or heterodimers bind to the interferon .alpha.2 receptor and can optionally trigger a cellular signal. Said dimers are suitable for treating diseases of the immune system, diseases which are linked to increased or reduced cell-proliferation, infectious or inflammatory processes, or for detecting diseases which, for example, are linked to a modified expression of the interferon .alpha.2 receptor, or to an expression thereof which is too high or too low.

L'invention concerne des homodimères et des hétérodimères constitués de monomères peptidiques, qui présentent la séquence d'aminoacides WDETLLKFYTELYQQL (monomère I), SLFSCLKDRHDFGFPQEEFGNQ (monomère II) ou bien QGVGVTETPLMKEDSILAV (monomère III), ou des variantes de ceux-ci, lesdits homodimères ou hétérodimères se fixant au récepteur d'interféron .alpha.2 et pouvant déclencher éventuellement un signal cellulaire. Ces dimères conviennent, d'une part, pour le traitement de maladies du système immunitaire, de maladies associées à une prolifération cellulaire accrue ou abaissée, de processus infectieux ou inflammatoires, et, d'autre part, pour le diagnostic de maladies qui sont, par exemple, associées à une expression modifiée ou trop élevée, ou bien trop basse, du récepteur d'interféron .alpha.2.
