Peptides released after the cleavage of IgG by parasite [Schistosoma] proteinases are strong inhibitors of the macrophage effector functions against schistosome larvae. A single tripeptide set, Thr-Lys-Pro (TKP), inhibits various macrophage functions and can be considered as an immunologically active peptide. Not only IgE-dependent cytotoxicity but also .beta.-glucuronidase release, chemiluminescence and IL [interleukin] production were reduced when rat macrophages were previously incubated with TKP or some analogs. Chemotaxis and IgE-specific receptor expression were inhibited in rat and human macrophages after treatment with TKP, without affecting the cell viability. The substitution or acetylation of Thr diminished or suppressed the inhibitory effect of TKP.
