Definitions

  • the present invention provides immunity useful as an agent for preventing or treating various diseases caused by unnecessary immune responses in vivo, such as skin diseases accompanied by inflammation mediated by T cells or dependent on T cells. It relates to a tolerance inducer.
  • Inflammatory skin diseases involving cellular immunity by T cells include psoriasis, vitiligo, pemphigus vulgaris, dermatomyositis, alopecia areata, systemic alopecia, etc.
  • Atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, granuloma and the like are known to involve foreign antigens. Because the causes of these diseases are not fully understood and it is difficult to isolate foreign antigens from the living environment, all of them are often intractable, and pharmacotherapy is the main treatment method. . At that time, steroids and antihistamines are often used as first-line drugs, and if no effect is seen, immunosuppressants are used. However, the use of these drugs may cause serious side effects, and there are concerns about complications associated with prolonged treatment. In addition, since external preparations are used in many cases, they greatly affect the patient's compliance in terms of appearance and the time required to apply the drug.

  • soft keratin must be purified from animal skin tissue or produced using advanced genetic engineering techniques. Formulation techniques are also practically based on aqueous solutions or aqueous suspensions.
