ABSTRACT:
Compounds having immunomodulating activity are identified using a methodology which employs TER14687, TER10311 and/or TER17210 as standards. The effect candidate compounds have on PKC-theta interaction with cognate binding proteins is measured and compared with the standards. The interaction can be measured by a variety of techniques, including assessing translocation of said PKC-theta or fragment. Kits containing the TER14687, TER10311 and/or TER17210 standards are disclosed. TER14687, TER10311 and/or TER17210 are useful in modulating the immune system in a subject by reducing T-cell activity. TER14687, TER10311, TER17210 are used as leads to develop other compounds having immunomodulating activity.
