Abstract
The present invention is based on the finding that peptides derived from a specific domain of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) can efficiently be used to treat oedema. More specifically, the present invention relates to the usage of peptides derived from the region of human TNF-α from Serto Gluto treat pulmonary oedema. For example, the circularized peptide having amino acid sequence CGQRETPEGAEAKPWYC is shown to be very efficient in inducing oedema resorption.
