摘要:
The present invention relates to immunoglobulin single variable domains directed against human macrophage mannose receptor (MMR) and their uses in the field of oncology. More specifically, it concerns immunoglobulin single variable domains, including nanobodies, against human MMR and their use in targeting and in vivo imaging of tumor-associated macrophages, with applications in the field of cancer diagnostics and therapeutics and monitoring of the disease.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of a polypeptide domain to modulate the tumorigenic and metastatic potential of cancer cells. More specifically, the present invention relates to a domain of a Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor (SLPI) to modulate tumor invasiveness and/or metastasis. It further relates to compounds, such as antibodies, that interact with said domain and repress the tumor invasiveness and/or the metastasis.
摘要:
The disclosure relates to the field of cardiovascular diseases. In particular, immunoglobulin single variable domains directed against macrophage mannose receptor (MMR) are provided that can be used in the diagnosis, prognosis and/or monitoring of cardiovascular diseases or as therapeutics. Also, the anti-macrophage mannose receptor (MMR) immunoglobulin single variable domains of the disclosure are useful at different stages of cardiovascular diseases, including post-infarction cardiovascular events. Further, the anti-macrophage mannose receptor (MMR) immunoglobulin single variable domains of the disclosure are particularly useful for the in vivo targeting and/or imaging of vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques.
摘要:
The application provides polypeptides comprising or essentially consisting of at least one heavy chain variable domain of a heavy chain antibody (V HH ) or functional fragments thereof, wherein said V HH or functional fragment thereof specifically binds to a target protein that is present on and/or specific for a solid tumor or cancer cell, e.g. HER2. The application further provides nucleic acids encoding such polypeptides; methods for preparing such polypeptides; host cells expressing or capable of expressing such polypeptides; compositions, and in particular to pharmaceutical compositions that comprise such polypeptides, nucleic acids and/or host cells. The application further provides such polypeptides, nucleic acids, host cells and/or compositions,for use in methods for the prevention and/or treatment of cancer.
