摘要:
The invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions containing one of the receptors FcyR llb or FcyR III in a recombinant-produced, soluble form, and to the use of the same for the treatment of diseases or conditions which are caused by exuberant immunoreactions and the pathologically increased formation of antibodies, especially auto-antibodies. Said pharmaceutical compositions are especially useful in the fields of multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
摘要:
Recombinant soluble Fc receptors according to the present invention are characterized by the absence of transmembrane domains, signal peptides and glycosylation. Such Fc receptors can easily be obtained by expressing respective nucleic acids in prokaryotic host cells and renaturation of the obtained inclusion bodies, which procedure leads to a very homogenous and pure product. The products can be used for diagnostic as well as pharmaceutical applications and also for the generation of crystal structure data. Such crystal structure data can be used for the modelling of artificial molecules. A further embodiment comprises coupling the Fc receptors according to the invention to solid materials like chromatography materials that can be used to separate and/or enrich antibodies.
摘要:
This invention discloses the crystal structure of 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate synthase and crystal structures of said synthase with 4-diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-D-erythritol, 4-diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate, cytidine monophosphate, cytidine diphosphate, cytidine and a combination of cytidine monophosphate and 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate; with or without zinc. Further, computer-aided methods of identifying inhibitors of said synthase and inhibitors are provided.
摘要:
The invention relates to novel immunogens carrying conformationally discriminating epitopes (CDEs) and to immunization methods for producing antibodies that specifically recognize proteins with very closely related homologues. In particular, the invention relates to antibodies which are specific for either FcϜRllb or FcϜRlla.
摘要:
The present invention concerns in general the field of antigen-antibody-interaction-based analysis-methods and kits therefore. In particular, the present invention concerns a method for a quantitative in vitro analysis to diagnose, to categorise, to predict and/or to monitor the progression of a condition comprising contacting a sample suspected of containing anti-A-antibodies from a subject to be analysed with native and mutant antigen A, wherein the binding to mutant antigen A helps to eliminate unspecific binding to antigen A and furthermore helps to eliminate individual patient based artefacts, so that clear and unbiased data for the formation of complexes of anti-A-antibodies and antigen A are obtained. The present invention also relates to a kit for carrying out such a method. For example, the antigen is the MOG protein, and it is used as a marker for Multiple Sclerosis.
