摘要:
The present specification discloses a pharmaceutical composition comprising an active agent that causes reduction of the level of systemic immunosuppression in an individual for use in treating a disease, disorder, condition or injury of the CNS. The pharmaceutical composition is administered by a dosage regimen comprising at least one course of therapy, each course of therapy comprising in sequence a treatment session followed by an interval session of non-treatment.
摘要:
A method for treating a disease, disorder, condition or injury of the Central Nervous System (CNS) in a subject in need thereof, comprising administering to said subject a therapeutically effective amount of an active ingredient, such as a non-encephalitogenic or weakly encephalitogenic combination of a Th1 adjuvant and a CNS-specific antigen, causing activation of the choroid plexus of said subject and maintaining said activation by reducing immunosuppression and establishing Th1-type immune response at the choroid plexus thus allowing either anti-inflammatory immune cells or immune cells which acquire a healing phenotype at the cerebrospinal fluid to pass through the choroid plexus, and accumulate at a site of damage in the CNS caused by said disease, disorder, condition or injury is provided.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for modulation of the suppressive activity of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg) on CD4+CD25- effector T cells (Teff) are provided. An agent selected from: (i) dopamine; (ii) a dopamine precursor; (iii) a D1-R agonist; (iv) a D2-R antagonist; (v) a combination of (i) and (ii); or (vi) a combination of (i), (ii) or (iii) with (iv), down-regulates the suppressive activity of Treg and is useful for treatment of cancer. An agent selected from (i) a dopamine D2-R agonist, (ii) a dopamine D1-R antagonist , and (iii) a combination of (i) and (ii), up-regulates the suppressive activity of Treg and is useful for treatment of an autoimmune disease or for controlling graft rejection in tissue/organ transplantation.
摘要:
The invention provides an eye-drop vaccine for therapeutic immunization of a mammal comprising Copolymer 1, a Copolymer 1-related peptide, or a Copolymer 1-related polypeptide, for treating neuronal degeneration caused by an injury or disease, disorder or condition in the central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS), for preventing or inhibiting neuronal secondary degeneration which may otherwise follow primary injury in the CNS, for promoting nerve regeneration in the CNS or in the PNS after an injury, disease, disorder or condition or for protecting CNS and PNS cells from glutamate toxicity.
摘要:
A process for the manufacture of human mononuclear phagocytic leukocytes comprises incubating monocytes isolated from a blood sample of an individual and skin segments from the same individual, removing the dermis segments from the incubation mixture and sedimenting the obtained activated mononuclear phagocytic leukocytes by centrifugation, washing and resuspending the activated phagocytic leukocytes in the medium, and evaluating the culture for its suitability for human administration. Cellular therapy products are made from the obtained cultures and are useful for promoting axonal regeneration in the CNS, wound healing and treatment of myocardial infarction.
摘要:
Methods are provided for treating injury to or disease of the central or peripheral nervous system. In one embodiment, treatment is effected by administering activated T cells that recognize an antigen of Cop 1 or a Cop 1-related peptide or polypeptide to promote nerve regeneration or to prevent or inhibit neuronal degeneration within the nervous system. In another embodiment, treatment involves administering Cop 1 or a Cop 1-related peptide or polypeptide to promote nerve regeneration or to prevent or inhibit neuronal degeneration in the nervous system, either the central nervous system or the peripheral nervous system. The activated T cells, which have been activated by the presence of Cop 1 or a Cop 1-related peptide or polypeptide, can be administered alone or in combination with Cop 1 or a Cop 1-related peptide or polypeptide.
摘要:
A central nervous system (CNS) injury is treated by transplanting into the site of the CNS injury a therapeutically effective amount of astrocytes which were pre-treated by exposing them in vitro to inflammation-associated cytokines.

摘要:
The present specification discloses anti-PD-L1 antibodies that abolishes Fc-related effector function and enhances clearance rate while maintaining therapeutic efficacy for neurodegenerative disease modification. In addition, the present specification discloses methods of treatment and uses that employ an administration regime of the disclosed anti-PD-L1 antibodies that ensures the antibodies are present for only a specific period of time and then are sufficiently cleared from the body to ensure treatment efficacy is maintained.
