Abstract :
Human β-casein fragment (54–59) having the amino acid sequence Val-Glu-Pro-lle-Pro-Tyr, has been shown potent immunostimulant activity. Several analogs of this hexapeptide have been synthesized with modification in the N-terminal region and tested for their immunomodulatory activity. Intrestingly, two hexapeptides have shown significant immunosuppressant activity.
