The present invention provides genes of the viral genus leporipox that encode immunomodulatory proteins. The present invention also provides therapeutic compositions containing these polypeptides and methods for use for treating a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. In one preferred embodiment, the present invention provides methods for producing the immunomodulatory polypeptides in a substantially pure form. In another preferred embodiment, the invention provides methods for treating individuals diagnosed with autoimmune or inflammatory disorders by gene therapy. In yet another preferred embodiment, the methods and compositions of the present invention may be used to treat cancer. Finally, the invention provides methods to identify and isolate additional leporipox virus immunomodulatory polypeptides.

L'invention concerne de nouveaux gènes de virus du genre leporipox, codant pour de nouvelles protéines immunomodulatrices. L'invention concerne également des compositions thérapeutiques contenant ces nouveaux polypeptides et des méthodes d'utilisation de ces derniers pour le traitement de divers troubles inflammatoires et auto-immuns. Un des aspects préférés de l'invention concerne des procédés permettant de produire ces nouveaux polypeptides immunomodulateurs sous une forme sensiblement pure. Dans un autre aspect préféré, l'invention concerne des procédés permettant de traiter par une thérapie génique des individus présentant un diagnostic de troubles auto-immuns ou inflammatoires. Dans un troisième aspect préféré, les méthodes et compositions décrites peuvent être utilisées pour le traitement du cancer. Enfin, l'invention concerne de méthodes permettant l'identification et l'isolement d'autres polypeptides immunomodulateurs de virus leporipox.
