摘要:
Pharmaceutical compositions containing as active compound a substance which inhibits the activity of TGF&bgr; on tumour cells of epithelial origin, for the treatment of epithelial, invasive tumour diseases which are characterized by a reversible transition of the cells from an epithelial, non-invasive state into a fibroblastoid, invasive state. The pharmaceutical composition contains a TGF&bgr; inhibitor, preferably combined with an Ras inhibitor. Process for screening substances for the treatment of epithelial, invasive tumour diseases.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for diagnosing and analysing tumours which is based on detecting the expression of certain variant exons of the CD44-gene. Detection may be carried out at the protein or nucleic acid level. In a preferred embodiment the expression is detected in biopsy material using exon-specific antibodies. Thus, for example, v6-expression is a suitable prognostic parameter for breast cancer, the expression of a transitional epitope which is coded by exons v7 and v8 serves to diagnose cervical cancer.

Chimeric and humanized anti-CD37 antibodies and pharmaceutical compositions containing them are useful for the treatment of B cell malignancies and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that involve B cells in their pathology.
摘要:
The present invention relates to immunotherapies that are based on depletion of CD37-positive cells such as B-cells. The present invention provides methods for reduction of CD37-positive cells such as B-cells in an individual/patient using a combination of CD37 antibody/antibodies and bendamustine. The combination of CD37 antibodies and bendamustine is shown to have a synergistic effect. The application further provides materials and methods for treatment of diseases involving aberrant B-cell activity.
摘要:
The functional characterization of ILEI to be a novel cytokine involved in epithelial/mesenchymal transition and the identification of biologically active ILEI provides the basis for generating ILEI inhibitors, in particular anti-ILEI antibodies, that are useful in the therapy of cancer, fibrosis and COPD.
摘要:
The present invention belongs to the field of oncology. The invention relates to antibodies with specified sequence which are specific for an epitope which is coded by the variant exon v6 of the CD44 gene and to derivatives of said antibody. The invention also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding said antibody proteins. The invention furthermore pertains to methods for producing said antibody proteins. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising said antibody proteins. The invention furthermore is concerned with the use in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of cancer.
