Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to therapeutical uses of non-classical human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules (also named MHC class Ib molecules) in combination with peptide antigens for the treatment of neuromyelitis optica (NMO). The invention more specifically relates to recombinant polypeptides comprising peptide antigens and one or more domains of a non-classical MHC class Ib molecule. The invention also relates to methods of producing such recombinant polypeptides, pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same, as well as their uses for treating neuromyelitis optica (NMO).
