    摘要: Compositions comprising keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) polypeptides and methods of using the same are described. The KGF polypeptides of the present invention display enhanced bioactivity relative to full-length KGF163. Accordingly, the KGF polypeptides of the present invention may be used in compositions in lesser amounts than would be necessary using KGF163.

    摘要: The invention provides for DNA encoding Fas ligand muteins and chimeras and the proteins encoded thereby. The invention further includes the use of DNA and vectors to produce transformed cells expressing the mutant or chimeric Fas ligand. When the Fas ligand of the invention is a non cleavable form, the cells expressing the Fas ligand are useful in vitro for identifying Fas expressing cells and in vitro or in vivo for reducing populations of Fas expressing cells. Thus, in other embodiments, the present invention is also directed to a method for treating a patient, for example a mammal, for autoimmune disease or transplant rejection by administering a Fas ligand therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent is a polypeptide, a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide or a small molecule. The polypeptides include full-length Fas ligand polypeptide, or a biologically active variant, derivative, portion, fusion or peptide thereof.

    摘要: Compositions and methods for inhibiting CD40-directed activities that are mediated via the binding of C4BP to CD40 are provided. The compositions of the invention include anti-CD40 antibodies, or antigen-binding fragments thereof, that have the following characteristics: 1) are free of significant CD40 agonist activity when bound to CD40 antigen; and 2) are capable of specifically binding to CD40 antigen expressed on the surface of cells, wherein this binding to CD40 antigen blocks C4BP-mediated CD40 signaling, thereby inhibiting one or more CD40-directed activities. These antagonist anti-CD40 antibodies can effectively be used to treat CD40-associated diseases that are mediated by C4BP stimulation of CD40 signaling, including cancers, such as B cell-related cancers and solid tumors, and diseases or disorders that have an autoimmune and/or inflammatory component, including organ and tissue transplant rejection.

    摘要翻译: 提供了通过C4BP与CD40结合介导的抑制CD40定向活性的组合物和方法。 本发明的组合物包括具有以下特征的抗CD40抗体或其抗原结合片段:1)当结合CD40抗原时,其不具有显着的CD40激动剂活性; 和2)能够特异性结合在细胞表面上表达的CD40抗原,其中与CD40抗原的结合阻断C4BP介导的CD40信号传导,从而抑制一种或多种CD40指导的活性。 这些拮抗性抗CD40抗体可以有效地用于治疗由C4BP刺激CD40信号传导介导的CD40相关疾病,包括癌症如B细胞相关的癌症和实体瘤,以及具有自身免疫和/ 或炎症组分,包括器官和组织移植排斥反应。

    摘要: The invention provides immunogenic compositions for mucosal delivery comprising capsular saccharides from at least two of serogroups A, C, W135 and Y of N. meningitidis. It is preferred that the capsular saccharides in the compositions of the invention are conjugated to carrier protein(s) and/or are oligosaccharides. Conjugated oligosaccharide antigens are particularly preferred. The invention also provides immunogenic compositions comprising (a) a capsular saccharide antigen from serogroup C of N. meningitidis, and (b) a chitosan adjuvant. The composition preferably comprises (c) one or more further antigens and/or (d) one or more further adjuvants. The compositions are particularly suitable for mucosal delivery, including intranasal delivery. The use of chitosan and/or detoxified ADP-ribosylating toxin adjuvants enhances anti-meningococcal mucosal immune responses and can shift the Th1/Th2 bias of the responses.
