    摘要: The present invention provides methods for detecting changes in tryptophan concentrations in a cell and methods for identifying agents that modulate cellular tryptophan concentrations. In particular, the present invention provides methods for detecting cellular exchange between tryptophan and kynurenine, and methods for identifying agents that modulate this exchange. The present invention also provides methods for treating a disease associated with immunosuppression in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the present invention is directed toward a method of treating a disease associated with immunosuppression comprising contacting the disease with an agent that modulates cellular Trp/kynurenine exchange. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods for identifying an agent that modulates an immunosuppression.

    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for prognostic classification of autoimmune disease patients into subtypes, which subtypes are informative of the patient's need for therapy and responsiveness to a therapy of interest. The patterns of circulating blood levels of serum autoantibodies and/or cytokines provides for a signature pattern that can identify patients likely to benefit from therapeutic intervention as well as discriminate patients that have a high probability of responsiveness to a therapy from those that have a low probability of responsiveness. Additionally, serum autoantibody and/or cytokine signature patterns can be utilized to monitor responses to therapy. Assessment of this signature pattern of autoantibodies and/or cytokines in a patient thus allows improved methods of care. In one embodiment of the invention, the autoimmune disease is rheumatoid arthritis.

    摘要: Methods are provided for determining relations between autoimmune degenerative diseases and specific variable regions of T-cell receptors as associated with the host HLA or T-cells associated with umbatting neoprofilerative diseases. By identifying the particular T-cell receptors which cause or are the disease in mammals, various prophylactic and therapeutic techniques may be employed for inhibiting the attack of the T-cell receptors on the native protein or tissue enhance the defense. In addition, individuals may be diagnosed as to their propensity for a particular autoimmune disease or the occurrence of such a disease.

    摘要: A novel method of defining oligopeptides is provided for determining useful immunodominant sequences for use as vaccines for pathogens. The method involves identifying sequences by particular selection procedures and using such sequences with antigen-presenting cells and T-cells to demonstrate activation of the common histocompatibility antigens DQ and DR in humans and their analogs in other animals. The oligopeptides may then be used individually or in combination to produce safe and effective vaccines, where genes may be prepared encoding the oligopeptides and used for expression of the oligopeptides or combinations of the oligopeptides or the gene transformed into the appropriate host, e.g., B. pertussis, for use as a vaccine to the intact organism.
