Patent ID: 7741280

Claim:
A multimeric molecule, corresponding to the following general formula: A-X n wherein: n is equal to 3, 4, 5 or 6, A is a chemical moiety, functionalized by at least three amino functions or COOH functions or SH functions or S-Npys (S-nitro-pyridinesulphenyl) functions or S-Pys (S-pyridinesulphenyl) functions, and X represents a -D, —B-D, or —B(D)-D′ group, in which: B is a spacer arm, and -D and -D′ each represent a peptide corresponding to a sequence derived from a ligand, chosen from the residues forming the interface with the ligand receptor, said sequence capable of interacting with the receptor, said ligand being CD40L.
