摘要:
The invention provides HVEM cis complexes which include, for example, HVEM/BTLA, HVEM/CD160 and HVEM/gD cis complexes. The invention provides ligands and agents that bind to HVEM cis complexes, such as antibodies. The invention further provides methods of use of the HVEM cis complexes, and the ligands and agents (e.g., antibodies) that bind to the HVEM cis complexes.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for treating an individual with high grade glioblastoma multiforme by preventing or disrupting the binding of CD95 to its ligand, CD95L, in vivo, whereupon that neutralization of CD95 activity reduces undesirable glial cell migration and invasion into body tissue.
摘要:
Disclosed are methods for conducting diagnostic tests for the detection of the inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Also described are methods for monitoring a patient by administering tests of the present invention. Also described are methods for monitoring patient's treatment by administering tests of the present invention. Also described are methods for evaluating the effectiveness of a drug or a drug candidate by administering tests of the present invention to samples from patients, animal models, and cell cultures treated with a drug or a drug candidate. Also disclosed are methods for determining the usefulness of analytes, e.g. cytokines, for acting as diagnostic and monitoring markers for inflammatory bowel disease in the various methods of the invention.
摘要:
The invention discloses a novel interaction between a TNF receptor (TACI) and its interacting ligand (TACI-L). Also disclosed are methods of screening candidate molecules to determine potential antagonists and agonists of the TACI/TACI-L interaction. The use of the antagonists and agonists as therapeutics to treat autoimmune diseases, inflammation, and to inhibit graft vs. host rejections is further disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of a polypeptide (CD27L) for diagnosis of epithelial-related cancers, in particular kidney cancer e.g. renal cell cancer and colorectal cancer, e.g. colon cancers, as well as in methods of treatment of such cancers.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods for aiding in the diagnoses of the condition of a lung cell, and methods of screening for a potential therapeutic agents for cytolysis or apoptosis of lung cancer cells.
摘要:
Disclosed are multibinding compounds which are β2-adrenergic receptor agonists and are useful in the treatment and prevention of respiratory diseases such as asthma, bronchitis. They are also useful in the treatment of nervous system injury and premature labor.
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 presence and quantity of an antibody of interest in a patient's bloodstream or other biological sample can serve as an important clinical or other analytical or diagnostic tool. ELISA methods, and kits for such assays, as well as anti-idiotypic antibodies and hybridomas producing them, are developed to detect levels of the antibody in biological samples, which are from, for example, animal models and human patients.
