ABSTRACT:
Disclosed are proteins derived from the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis capable of inducing vasodilation in mammals and data characterizing the proteins and nucleic acids encoding the proteins. Also disclosed is a method for temporarily inactivating the immune system in a mammal comprising administering to the mammal the Lutzomyia protein, CGRP, calcitonin, or active immune suppressing analogs thereof.
