摘要:
A monoclonal antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof that (a) specifically binds to ±v²6 but does not bind other av integrins; and (b) does not inhibit the binding of ²6 to latency associated peptide (LAP) with an IC50 value lower than that of 10D5. Said monoclonal antibody, wherein the antibody comprises a) the same heavy and light chain polypeptide sequences as an antibody produced by hybridoma 6. 2A1 (ATCC accession number PTA-3896) or b) the same heavy and light chain polypeptide sequences as an antibody produced by hybridoma 6.2E5 (ATCC accession number PTA-3897). The disclosure also relates to uses of same and to compositions comprising same.

摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of asthma treatment and prevention using αvβ6 antagonists, such as αvβ6-binding antibodies. In particular, the invention relates to the discovery of a correlation between reduced expression of αvβ6 and the protection from the increase in airway sensitivity seen in chronic allergen-challenged mice. This protection is associated with protection from the usual allergen-induced increase in airway epithelial mast cells.
摘要:
The present invention relates to biomarkers for use in determining the sensitivity of patients to therapy with αvβ6 integrin inhibition or therapy with TGF-β pathway inhibitors. The biomarker profiles disclosed herein provide individualized gene and protein profiles which will aid in treating diseases and disorders which are amenable to treatment with therapies designed against αvβ6-integrin and/or TGF-β pathway inhibitors.
摘要:
Antibodies (e.g., isolated antibodies) that specifically bind to human integrin β8 and inhibit adhesion of latency associated peptide (LAP) to αvβ8 are provided. In some embodiments, the antibody cross-reacts with mouse integrin β8. In some embodiments, the antibody blocks TGFJ3 activation. In some embodiments, the antibody antagonizes binding of LAP to αβ8 with an IC50 below 5 nM.
