摘要:
The present invention provides immune conjugates for inducing antigen specific immune tolerance to coagulation Factor VIII. The immune conjugates contain a FVIII protein or antigenic fragment that is conjugated to a binding moiety for a sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin (Siglec) expressed on B cells. The invention also provides methods of using the FVIII immune conjugates to induce immune tolerance to FVIII in a subject. Additionally provided in the invention are methods for treating bleeding disorders such as hemophilia A via the use of the FVIII immune conjugates and an unconjugated FVIII with coagulating activity.
摘要:
The present invention provides liposomal compositions for inducing immune tolerance. The compounds typically comprise a liposome displaying a specific antigen and also a binding moiety for a sialic acid binding Ig-like lectin (Siglec) expressed on B cells. The invention also provides methods for inducing tolerance to a protein or polypeptide antigen (e.g., a protein antigen) in a subject. The methods involve administering to the subject a pharmaceutical composition that co-presents both the antigen and a glycan ligand for a Siglec expressed on B lymphocytes.

摘要:
The present invention is directed towards compositions and methods for reducing or controlling inflammation and for treating inflammatory disease processes and other pathological conditions mediated by intercellular adhesion. The compositions of the invention include compounds that selectively bind selectin receptors, the selectin binding activity being mediated by a carbohydrate moiety. The selectin-binding moieties of the invention are derivatives of a sialylated, fucosylated N-acetyllactosamine unit of the Lewis X antigen. Compounds containing a selectin-binding moiety in both monovalent and multivalent forms are included in the invention. The compounds of the invention are provided as pharmaceutical compositions which include, for example, liposomes that carry selectin-binding moieties of the invention. The invention further includes immunoglobulins capable of selectively binding an oligosaccharide ligand that is recognized by a selectin receptor.
