摘要:
The invention provides methods for regulating cell-mediated immune responses, immune system diseases and allograft transplant rejection by interfering with the interaction of at least three different cell surface molecules with their natural ligands. A first cellular interaction is mediated by CD28/B7/CTLA4, a second interaction is mediated by CD40/CD154, and a third interaction is mediated by LFA-1 interaction with its ligands. Regulation of a cell-mediated immune response affects immune system diseases such as those associated with allograft transplantation.
摘要:
This application relates to the use of agents such as expression vectors and nucleic acids encoding integrins α6 A or α6B as well as antibodies specific for those integrins which are capable of modulating the ratio between the B and A isoforms of the α6 integrin in the treatment of diseases associated with an altered proliferation rate, such as cancer. The application also relates to the use of the ratio between the B and A isoforms of the α6 integrin in the diagnosis of diseases associated with an altered proliferation rate.
摘要:
This invention relates generally to the field of immunology or neuroimmunology. In particular, the invention provides a method for reducing or inhibiting T cell activation, which method comprises administering an effective amount of an antagonist of NCAM L1 to a mammal, wherein reduction or inhibition of T cell activation is desirable, thereby reducing or inhibiting T cell activation in said mammal. Combinations and combinatorial methods for modulating T cell activation are further provided. The invention also provides a method for potentiating T cell activation, which method comprises administering an effective amount of a multimerized neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (NCAM L1), or a functional derivative or fragment thereof, or a nucleic acid encoding said L1 or func tional derivative or fragment thereof, or an agent that enhances production and/or costimulatory function of said L1 to a mammal, wherein T cell activation is desirable, thereby potentiating T cell activation in said mammal.

The present invention discloses 16 genes that are differentially expressed in animal models of hypertension relative to non-hypertensive controls. In particular, 16 genes were identified which are differentially-expressed in the fawn-hooded rat (FHR) and the closely-related IRL rat strain, in comparison to the control ACI strain of rat. Also disclosed are therapeutic and prophylactic methods for treating or preventing renal failure, platelet storage-pool disease, hypertension, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and/or other associated diseases or disorders using these genes and nucleic acids encoding these genes. Methods for diagnosis, prognosis, and screening, by the detection of the differentially-expressed proteins and nucleic acids, as well as derivatives, fragments and analogs thereof, are also disclosed herein.
