摘要:
This invention relates generally to methods of treatment for Guillain-Barre' Syndrome (GBS) and, more specifically, to methods involving the inhibition of the classical pathway of complement activation.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to the generation and characterization of neutralizing anti-C1s monoclonal antibodies. The invention further relates to the use of such anti-C1s antibodies in the detection of complement factors of the classical complement activation pathway, such as C1s. Additionally, the antibodies of this disclosure are useful for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with an increased activation of the classical complement pathway, in particular autoimmune disorders and neurodegenerative diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases with synapse loss, such as Alzheimer's Disease. Methods of treatment of autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases are also provided.
摘要:
This invention relates generally to methods of treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Alzheimer's-related diseases, and Huntington's disease, and more specifically to methods involving the inhibition of the classical pathway of complement activation. Certain aspects of the present disclosure are directed to methods and kits for treating or preventing Alzheimer's disease and/or Huntington's disease that include inhibiting the classical pathway of complement activation by neutralizing complement factor C1q, e.g., through the administration of antibodies, such as monoclonal, chimeric, humanized antibodies, antibody fragments, etc., which bind to C1q.
