The present invention is directed to lectin derived carbohydrate binding peptides or derivatives thereof useful for suppressing inflammatory responses, inducing tolerance to an antigen, and suppressing cell adhesion, e.g., involved in metastasis. In particular, peptides capable of binding terminally linked .alpha.-sialic acid(2-6).beta.Gal- and/or .alpha.-sialic acid(2-3).beta.Gal-groups on structures or molecules comprising such groups are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such lectin derived carbohydrate binding peptides are also disclosed.

La actual invención se dirige a los peptides del carbohidrato o a los derivados obligatorios derivados lectin de eso útiles para suprimir respuestas inflamatorias, inducir tolerancia a un antígeno, y suprimir la adherencia de la célula, e.g., implicada en metástasis. En detalle, los peptides capaces de atar acid(2-6).beta.Gal- y/o acid(2-3).beta.Gal-groups alpha.-alpha.-sialic alpha.-alpha.-sialic terminal ligado en las estructuras o las moléculas que abarcan a tales grupos se proporcionan. Las composiciones farmacéuticas que contienen tales peptides obligatorios derivados lectin del carbohidrato también se divulgan.
