Bioactivity | Peptide P60 is a FOXP3 inhibitor. Peptide P60 can enter cells, inhibit the nuclear translocation of FOXP3, and diminish its ability to suppress the transcription factors NF-κB and NFAT. Peptide P60 can inhibit the immunosuppressive activity of regulatory T cells (Treg) derived from mice and humans, and enhance the stimulation of effector T cells in vitro. Peptide P60 can induce a lymphoproliferative autoimmune syndrome with pathological manifestations resembling those reported in scurfy mice lacking functional Foxp3. Peptide P60 can enhance the immunogenicity of cancer and viral vaccines.[1] |
