    Abstract: Methods for inducing systemic, non-specific and/or sequence specific immune responses in invertebrates, e.g., marine invertebrates such as mollusks, porifera, ctenophora, echinodermas, marine worms, cnideria and preferably crustaceans, by the administration of at least one dsRNA, that confers immunity against a pathogen, or modulates expression of gene that affects growth, reproduction, and general health or “robustness” are provided. Also provided are methods of identifying invertebrate genes, e.g., crustacean genes, the expression of which is involved in the induction of non-specific (systemic) immune responses against pathogens. Also disclosed are preferred delivery systems and methods for stably administering at least one dsRNA to a crustacean whereby the dsRNA is administered via injection, immersion, in a feed or nutrient medium or comprised in a microorganism, e.g., yeast or microalgae, that expresses said dsRNA and is ingestible by said crustacean, e.g., a shrimp.

    Abstract: Systemic suppression of the complement system has been shown to be effective to treat inflammatory disease, yet at the potential cost of compromising host defense and immune homeostasis. Herein disclosed are methods for antigen-specific targeting of complement inhibitors that show that complement inhibitors targeted to the proximal tubular epithelium protect against tubulointerstitial injury and renal dysfunction in a rat model of nephrosis. It is shown that appropriate targeting of a systemically administered complement inhibitor to a site of disease markedy enhances efficacy and obviates the need to systemically inhibit complement. Additionally, it is shown by specifically inhibiting the terminal pathway of complement, that the membrane attack complex (MAC) plays a key role in proteinuria-induced tubulointerstitial injury, thus establishing the MAC as a valid target for pharmacological intervention in proteinuric disorders. The disclosed are compositions can be used in methods of treating pathogenic diseases and inflammatory conditions by modulating the complement system.

    Abstract translation: 补体系统的系统抑制已被证明是有效治疗炎性疾病,但是潜在的牺牲宿主防御和免疫稳态的代价。 本文公开的是用于补体抑制剂的抗原特异性靶向的方法,其显示针对近端肾小管上皮的补体抑制剂保护肾小管模型中的肾小管间质损伤和肾功能障碍。 已经表明,将系统给药的补体抑制剂适当靶向标记的疾病部位增强功效,并且避免需要系统地抑制补体。 另外,通过特异性抑制补体的末端途径显示,膜攻击复合物(MAC)在蛋白尿诱导的肾小管间质损伤中起关键作用,从而建立MAC作为蛋白质性疾病药理学干预的有效靶标。 所公开的是组合物可以用于通过调节补体系统来治疗病原性疾病和炎性病症的方法。
