    摘要: The OX-40 antigen is characterized and claimed together with variants and derivatives thereof. Also described are binding agents for the antigen and the use of these in diagnosis and therapy. Examples of such use include a method for the selective depletion of activated CD4+ T-cells in vivo by using immunotoxins comprising an OX-40 antibody conjugated to a toxic molecule (such as Ricin-A chain). The administration of these specific immunotoxins is used therapeutically to deplete autoimmune reactive CD4+ T-cells which have been implicated in diseases including Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sarcoidosis, and Autoimmune Uveitis as well as inflammatory bowel disease and graft-versus-host disease. This type of therapy is also beneficial for eradicating CD4+ T-cell lymphomas and alloreactive CD4+ T-cells involved with a transplantation reaction. The use of the human form of the OX-40 antibody will also help in the early diagnosis of all the diseases mentioned above.

    摘要: The present invention provides, in particular embodiments, for modified recombinant T cell receptor (TCR) ligands (RTLs) comprising a MHC class I or MHC class II component. The modified RTLs have redesigned surface features that preclude or reduce aggregation, wherein the modified molecules retain the ability to bind Ag-peptides, target antigen-specific T cells, inhibit T cell proliferation in an Ag-specific manner and have utility to treat, inter alia, autoimmune disease and other conditions mediated by antigen-specific T cells in vivo.

    摘要: The present invention provides T cell hybridomas and related compositions and assay systems for investigative, diagnostic, and therapeutic use in modulating T cell receptor (TCR)-mediated immune response. The T cell hybridomas of the invention are typically constructed by fusing a naïve or early central memory T cell isolated from a mammalian subject with an immortalizing fusion partner (e.g. mammalian lymphoid tumor cell) to yield clonal T cell hybrids. The resulting T cell hybridomas exhibit antigen (Ag)-specific proliferation responsiveness over a background level of proliferation of the hybridomas. These hybridomas are useful for screening, identifying, and characterizing T cell immune modulatory agents, for example recombinant T cell receptor ligands (RTLs) and other agents that can modulate TCR-mediated T cell immune responses. Ag-specific proliferative response profiles exhibited by the T cell hybridomas of the invention show sufficient amplitude, sensitivity and fidelity to distinguish and/or quantify the presence and/or activity of a test RTL or other test modulatory agent in screening and sensitivity assays employing the hybridomas. These and other aspects of the invention yield powerful tools and methods for developing and characterizing novel RTLs and other immune modulatory agents for use in treating immune disorders, including a wide range of autoimmune diseases, in mammals.

    摘要: A method for direct electrical detection of proteins, peptides and the like, and their interactions includes an electrode arrangement, a current/voltage provider, and a circuit analyzer. The electrode arrangement has an interdigitated electrode pair including a first electrode and a second electrode. Coupled to the electrode arrangement is a signal generator adapted to provide a signal (e.g., an alternating current or voltage) having a selected range of frequencies. The analyzer is coupled to the electrode arrangement and is operative to analyze an electrical parameter of the circuit as the signal is applied. An analytic method includes measuring changes in one or more parameters of the circuit over the range of frequencies. By such measurement, the device can determine whether a target moiety has been bound by a probe attached to the electrode(s). The device can also specifically identify the intermolecular system detected, i.e., by “fingerprinting” the electrical response of each molecule or intermolecular complex.
