Abstract

Polypeptides that bind to DC-SIGN and/or its homologues and methods for using such peptides for the treatment of various disorders are described. DC-SIGN and its homologues are receptors that bind IgG antibodies or Fc fragments and mediate intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG)-related reversal of inflammation associated with various immune disorders.
