摘要:
The present invention relates to the identification of macaque antibodies to human B7.1 and B7.2 by screening of phage display libraries or monkey heterohybridomas obtained using B lymphocytes from B7.1 and/or B7.2 immunized monkeys. More specifically, the invention provides four monkey monoclonal antibodies 7B6, 16C10, 7C10 and 20C9 which inhibit the B7:CD28 pathway and thereby function as effective immunosuppressants. The invention further provides the complete DNA and amino acid sequences of the light and heavy chain of three primatized antibodies derived from those monkey monoclonal antibodies which bind B7.1 and possibly B7.2, primatized 7C10, primatized 7B6 and primatized 16C10. These primatized and monkey antibodies may be used as specific immunosuppressants, e.g., for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent organ transplant rejection.
摘要:
The present invention provides a synergistic composition and methods for treating neoplastic or cancerous growths as well as for treating such patients in order to restore or boost hematopoiesis. The present invention comprises administration of the combination of a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte inducing composition and at least one agent which is capable of neutralizing or down regulating the activity of tumor secreted immunosuppressive factors, separately or in combination.
摘要:
The invention discloses compositions, combination therapies and methods of treating B-cell lymphomas and leukemias, as well as other CD40null malignancies. The primary active agent of the composition is an anti-CD40L antibody or other CD40L antagonist that inhibits CD40-CD40L interaction. Compositions may additionally contain or utilize any one or more of the following in combination for the treatment of said disease: anti-CD20 antibodies, chemotherapeutic agents, chemotherapy cocktails, and radiotherapy.
摘要:
Human IGSF9 and LIV-1 polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptides are disclosed. The disclosed polypeptides and/or polynucleotide are particularly useful generating antibodies, both modified and native, which bind IGSF9 or LIV-1. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines comprising the antibodies, polypeptides and polynucleotides of the invention. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptides for identifying ligands, antagonists and agonists to said polypeptides. Finally, methods comprising the above-mentioned compositions are disclosed for the treatment, diagnosis, and/or prognosis of neoplastic disorders.
摘要:
Genes that are upregulated in human prostate tumor tissues and the corresponding proteins are identified. These genes and the corresponding antigens are suitable targets for the treatment, diagnosis or prophylaxis of prostate cancer. A preferred target gene is Kv3.2.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to humanized antibodies which bind human gp39 and their use as therapeutic agents. These humanized antibodies are especially useful for treatment of autoimmune diseases.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to humanized antibodies which bind human gp39 and their use as therapeutic agents. These humanized antibodies are especially useful for treatment of autoimmune diseases; and an immunosuppressant during transplantation of heterologous cells, tissues or organs, cell therapy, and gene therapy.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are therapeutic treatment protocols designed for the treatment of B cell lymphoma. These protocols are based upon therapeutic strategies which include the use of administration of immunologically active mouse/human chimeric anti-CD20 antibodies, radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibodies, and cooperative strategies comprising the use of chimeric anti-CD20 antibodies and radiolabeled anti-CD20 antibodies.
