摘要:
The present invention relates to the identification of antibodies which are specific to human B7.1 antigen (CD80) and which are capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CD28 receptor and which are not capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CTLA-4 receptor. Two of these antibodies, 16C10 and 7C10, significantly inhibit the production of IL-2, in spite of the existence of a second activating ligand B7.2 (CD86). Blocking of the primary activation signal between CD28 and B7.1 (CD80) with these antibodies while allowing the unimpaired or coincident interaction of CTLA-4 and B7.1 and/or B7.2 represents a combined antagonistic effect on positive co-stimulation with an agonistic effect on negative signalling. These antibodies may be used as specific immunosuppressants, e.g., for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent organ transplant rejection.

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 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.

These antibodies or B7.1-binding fragments thereof, may be used for the treatment or prevention of resistance to or rejection of transplanted organs or tissues and/or graft-versus-host diseases.

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.

摘要:
Novel compounds, compositions and methods comprising modified antibodies are provided. In preferred embodiments the disclosed modified antibodies comprise antibodies having one or more of the constant region domains altered or deleted to afford beneficial physiological properties such as enhanced target localization and rapid blood clearance. The disclosed compounds are particularly useful for the treatment of neoplastic disorders in myelosuppressed patients.
