Abstract
The present invention is directed toward peptide analogs of human myelin basic protein. The peptide analog is at least seven amino acids long and derived from residues 83 to 99 of human myelin basic protein. The analogs are altered from the native sequence at least at positions 91, 95, or 97. Additional alterations may be made at other positions. Pharmaceutical compositions containing these peptide analogs are provided. The peptide analogs are useful for treating multiple sclerosis.
