(57) [Summary]nThe present invention relates to nucleotide sequences capable of decoding polypeptides having lectin-like properties, similar sarcolectin-type polypeptides, and their use in therapy. In particular, the present invention relates to the use of a sarcolectin-type polypeptide that stimulates immunity, preferably in combination with interferon or butyroid. The use of specific inhibitor or antagonist peptides can counteract component production of SCL. Antibodies against the above-mentioned peptides can be used for diagnosis and therapy. |
