Provided is a peptide provided herein includes at least one peptide unit, and the peptide unit may include at least one B-cell epitope, at least one Th epitope, and an appropriate number of auxiliary parts. The peptide unit is a portion designed to uniformly induce only the intended antibody while exhibiting a certain level of immunogenicity in the body of a subject. In addition, the peptide unit is designed with a relatively short length, and thus has the characteristics of easy synthesis and a low production cost. The peptide has properties suitable for use as an immunotherapeutic due to the characteristics of the peptide unit described above. In the present specification, the design principles of the peptide and the peptide unit are disclosed in detail.

The present invention provides methods and taste-modifying kits for facilitating cleansing of the gastrointestinal tract of a patient prior to a diagnostic, surgical or therapeutic procedure. The methods and taste-modifying kits can improve patient compliance, and thus, efficacy of the preparation. Specifically, the present methods make the gastrointestinal tract preparation composition palatable for the patient to consume. For example, for a patient preparing to undergo colonoscopy, the present methods make the bowel preparation solution taste significantly less salty.
