    摘要: The present invention provides methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, and/or amelioration of an infection, in particular an intracellular pathogen infection, such as a viral, bacterial, protozoa or fungal infection. In particular, the present invention provides methods for treating, managing, preventing and/or ameliorating an infection where the expression of EphA2 is upregulated in infected cells (e.g., infected epithelial cells), said methods comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of one or more EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators. In accordance with the present invention, such methods may also comprise the administration of one or more therapies other than an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators, and optionally, one or more prophylactic or therapeutic agents other than an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator, and the use of such compositions in the treating, management, prevention and/or amelioration of an infection. Further provided by the invention are articles of manufacture and kits comprising an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator of the invention, and, optionally, other prophylactic or therapeutic agents (e.g., immunomodulatory agents, anti-viral agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-bacterial agents, anti-fungal agents, etc.).

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, or prevention of a hyperproliferative cell disease, particularly cancer. The methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of a composition that targets cells expressing an Eph family receptor tyrosine kinase, such as EphA2 or EphA4, for the treatment, management, or prevention of hyperproliferative diseases, particularly cancer. In one embodiment, the method of the invention comprises administering to a subject a composition comprising an EphA2 or EphA4 targeting moiety attached to a delivery vehicle, and one or more therapeutic or prophylactic agents that treat or prevent a hyperproliferative disease, where the therapeutic or prophylactic agents are operatively associated with the delivery vehicle. In another embodiment, the method of the invention comprises administering to a subject a composition comprising a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an EphA2 or EphA4 targeting moiety and a therapeutic or prophylactic agent that treats or prevents a hyperproliferative disease. In yet another embodiment, the method of the invention comprises administering to a subject a composition comprising an EphA2 or EphA4 targeting moiety and a nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an agent that treats or prevents a hyperproliferative disease, where the nucleic acid is operatively associated with the delivery vehicle. Pharmaceutical compositions are also provided by the present invention.

    摘要: EphA2 T-cell epitope agonists are provided herein. The agonists include peptides corresponding to specific fragments of human EphA2 protein containing one or more T-cell epitopes, and conservative derivatives thereof. The EphA2 T-cell epitope agonists are useful in an assay, such as an ELISPOT assay, that may be used to determine and/or quantify a patient's immune responsiveness to EphA2. The agonists also are useful in methods of modulating a patient's immune reactivity to EphA2, which has substantial utility as a treatment for cancers that overexpress EphA2, such as renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The EphA2 agonists also can be used to vaccinate a patient against EphA2, by in vivo or ex vivo methods.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, prevention and/or amelioration of non-neoplastic hyperproliferative epithelial and/or endothelial cell disorders, including but not limited to disorders associated with increased deposition of extracellular matrix components (e.g., collagen, proteoglycans, tenascin and fibronectin) and/or aberrant angiogenesis. Non-limiting examples of such disorders include cirrhosis, fibrosis (e.g., fibrosis of the liver, kidney, lungs, heart, retina and other viscera), asthma, ischemia, atherosclerosis, diabetic retinopathy, retinopathy of prematurity, vascular restenosis, macular degeneration, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, infantile hemangioma, verruca vulgaris, Kaposi's sarcoma, neurofibromatosis, recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus, Reiter's syndrome, Sjogren's syndrome, endometriosis, preeclampsia, atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, psoriatic arthropathy and psoriasis. The methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more agents that are modulators of EphA2 and/or its endogenous ligand, EphrinA1. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful for therapy for such non-neoplastic hyperproliferative epithelial and/or endothelial disorders. Diagnostic methods and methods for screening for EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators are also provided.
