摘要:
Molecules that interfere with the binding of a tumor necrosis factor receptor with its ligand, such as a soluble receptor, have proven usefulness in both basic research and as therapeutics. The present invention provides improved soluble transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand-interactor (TACI) receptors.
摘要:
There is provided an antagonist of IL-23 and of IL-17A or IL-17F comprising: (i) an antibody or antibody fragment that binds the p19 subunit of IL-23 as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4; and (ii) an antibody or antibody fragment that binds IL-17A as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 or that binds IL-17F as shown in SEQ ID NO: 6; wherein the antibody or antibody fragment that binds IL-17A or IL-17F comprises a HCDR1 amino acid sequence, a HCDR2 amino acid sequence, and a HCDR3 amino acid sequence of the variable heavy region selected from the group consisting of the variable heavy region of the hybridoma of ATCC Patent Deposit Designation PTA-7988; and wherein the variable light region comprises a LCDR1 amino acid sequence, a LCDR2 amino acid sequence, and a LCDR3 amino acid sequence of the variable light region of the hybridoma of ATCC Patent Deposit Designation PTA-7988.
摘要:
There is provided a polypeptide having a functional activity of IL-21 wherein the polypeptide has at least 80% identity to an IL-21 polypeptide comprising residues 41 (Gln) to 148 (Ile) of SEQ ID NO:2 or residues 32 (Gln) to 162 (Ser) of SEQ ID NO:2, for use in treating a viral infection.

摘要:
There is provided a composition comprising IL-21 polypeptide and a composition comprising a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, for use in treating cancer selected from renal cell carcinoma, metastatic melanoma, or hepatocellular carcinoma, wherein said use comprises co-administration of said compositions to a patient.
摘要:
The expression vectors and methods using an E. coli expression system for the large scale production of FGF18 are described. The vectors utilize the FGF18 coding sequence with specific changes in nucleotides in order to optimize codons and mRNA secondary structure for translation in E. coli. Using the expression vectors, the FGF18 gene was produced in E. coli to a level of greater than 1 g/L in fed batch fermentation. Also included are OmpT deficient E. coli strains, as well as OmpT and fhuA negative strains transformed with an FGF18 expression vector.
摘要:
There is provided an in vitro method for expansion of hematopoietic cells and hematopoietic cell progenitors comprising: culturing bone marrow or peripheral blood cells with a composition comprising an amount of IL-21 sufficient to produce an increase in the number of lymphoid cells in the bone marrow or peripheral blood cells as compared to bone marrow or peripheral blood cells cultured in the absence of IL-21. There are also provided anti-cancer effector cells for use in the treatment of cancer in a patient by adoptive immunotherapy, wherein said anti-cancer effector cells have been obtained from the patient, and wherein the use comprises an initial ex vivo step of expanding the anti-cancer effector cells in culture in the presence of IL-21.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of measuring the levels of BCMA in a biological sample, specifically upon the B cell surface. The diagnostic assays are useful in predicting an individual's likelihood of developing or currently suffering from an autoimmune disease, such as SLE, and for methods for treating an individual clinically diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. This diagnostic test serves to predict a patient's likelihood to respond to a specific drug treatment, in particular treatment with BLyS antagonists, either singly or in combination with other immune suppressive drugs
