Abstract:
This invention relates to a novel use of IL-1β-ligand/IL-1 receptor disrupting compounds (herein referred to as “IL-1beta Compounds”); such as small molecular compounds disrupting IL-1b ligand-IL-1 receptor interaction, IL-1b antibodies or IL-1 receptor antibodies, e.g. IL-1b binding molecules described herein, e.g. antibodies disclosed herein, e.g. IL-1b binding compounds or IL-1 receptor binding compounds, and/or RNA compounds decreasing either IL-1b ligands or IL-1 receptor protein levels, in the treatment and/or prevention of auto-inflammatory syndromes, e.g. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or adult rheumatoid arthritis syndrome and to methods of treating and/or preventing auto-inflammatory syndromes, e.g. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis or adult rheumatoid arthritis syndrome, in mammals, particularly humans.
Abstract:
An IL-17 binding molecule, in particular an antibody to human IL-17, more preferably a human antibody to human IL-17 is provided, wherein the hypervariable regions of the heavy and light chains have amino acid sequences as defined, for use in the treatment of an IL-17 mediated disease or disorder, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis.

This invention relates to methods employing IL-1β-ligand/IL-1 receptor disrupting compounds such as IL-1β antibodies or IL-1 receptor antibodies, in the treatment and/or prevention of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), in mammals, particularly humans.
Abstract:
Fusion polypeptides and salts thereof comprising at least one IgE-binding domain fused to at least one human serum albumin component, optionally via a peptide linker, and in particular, dimeric fusion polypeptides comprising HSA protein fused, at each of its amino and carboxy termini, to an extracellular domain of the &agr;-chain of the human high affinity receptor for IgE (Fc&egr;RI&agr;); process for the preparation thereof, functionally equivalent polypeptides which are intermediates in their preparation, and polynucleotide and oligonucleotide intermediates and vectors therefor. They are indicated for use in the prevention and/or treatment of IgE-mediated allergic diseases and related disorders such as atopic dermatitis, atopic asthma and chronic urticaria.
