Abstract:
Described are methods of treating viral disease using compounds that block inhibitory NK cell receptors, thereby reducing their inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity in killing infected target cells. In one embodiment, the compound is an antibody binding, for example, one or more of the human KIR2DL1, KIR2DL2, and KIR2DL3 receptors. In another embodiment, the method further comprises administering a therapeutic antibody or fusion protein which binds an antigen expressed on cells infected with the virus.
Abstract:
One embodiment relates to methods for the enzymatic functionalization of immunoglobulins, in particular with drugs. Also disclosed herein are linking reagents, functionalized antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions, and method of treating disease and/or conditions.
Abstract:
Some embodiments described herein relate to solid-support based processess for the functionalization of immunoglobulins through the use of transglutaminase. Also provided are solid support compositions with bound antibody. The methods can be used, for example, in manufacturing processes or in drug screening.
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for regulating an immune response in a subject are described. More particularly, described are human antibodies that regulate the activity of NK cells and allow a potentiation of NK cell cytotoxicity in mammalian subjects, and antibodies having antigen-binding properties similar to those of human monoclonal antibody 1-7F9 or 1-4F1. Described also are also fragments and derivatives of such antibodies, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same and their uses, particularly for use in therapy, to increase NK cell activity or cytotoxicity in subjects.
Abstract:
Provided are methods for clinical treatment of cancer (e.g., solid tumors or hematological malignancies) using an anti-KIR antibody in combination with an anti-CTLA-4 antibody.
