摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and kits for diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in a subject. Particularly, the present invention relates to a specific antibody profile useful in diagnosing SLE in a subject.
摘要:
A method of recognizing the development of an Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) process in an individual, wherein the method comprises steps of: profiling specific antibody reactivities or biomarkers associated with AMI susceptibility, the profiling comprises steps of: attaching a set of defined antigens to a substrate; obtaining a biological fluid derived specimen from an individual, the specimen containing a specific antibody repertoire; and binding said antibodies of the biological fluid specimen to the attached antigens thereby forming bound antibody antigen complexes; and analyzing results obtained, wherein the presence of the complexes is indicative of AMI.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for diagnosing transplant rejection, or a condition associated with transplant rejection, such as, primary graft dysfunction in a subject, to antigen probe arrays for performing such a diagnosis, and to antigen probe sets for generating such arrays.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to an isolated T-Cell Receptor constant domain and to peptides derived therefrom and recombinant constructs encoding same, effective in therapy of T cell mediated inflammatory disease, autoimmunity and graft rejection. Therapeutic and prophylactic vaccine compositions and methods utilizing these proteins and peptides, DNA vaccines encoding same and T cell vaccines thereof are further provided.
摘要:
The present invention is related to a method of treating a T cell-mediated inflammatory autoimmune disease by administering to an individual in need thereof an immunogenic composition comprising a recombinant construct of a nucleic acid sequence encoding heat shock protein 60 (HSP60), or an active fragment thereof, wherein the nucleic acid sequence is operatively linked to one or more transcription control sequences, and wherein the disease is other than insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), thereby treating the disease.
摘要:
A method of treating cancer in an immune-privileged site of a subject in need thereof is provided. The method comprises systemically administering to an area outside the immune-privileged site of the subject, a therapeutically effective amount of naive, viable cells of a tumor of the subject, the tumor being in the immune-privileged site so as to generate an immune response in the subject, thereby treating the cancer in the immune-privileged site of the subject.
摘要:
A method for the preparation of a T cell vaccine for the treatment of immunodeficient HIV-infected patients is described herein, based on the enrichment of autologous CD4-reactive CD8 T cells. Also described is a protocol for the implementation of T cell vaccination in immunodeficient HIV-infected, as well as a method of treatment, based on the T cell vaccine developed herein. Finally, kits for preparing the T cell vaccine as well as for implementing the protocol are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention provides improved vaccine compositions having enhanced immunogenicity and methods of using same. The compositions and methods include immunogenic conjugates containing peptide carriers derived from heat shock protein 60 (HSP60). The known synthetic peptide carrier, p458, provides significantly improved immunogenicity when provided as a multimeric conjugate comprising a plurality of peptide carrier units conjugated to each antigen. Cell vaccine compositions comprising antigen presenting cells loaded with multimeric p458 conjugates are also provided.
