摘要:
A method for inhibiting production of IgE, and a method for enhancing production of IgG are taught. The methods are linked to the role of interleukin 9 in antibody production. Specifically, production of IgG is potentiated by administering either to a subject or a cell culture a combination of interleukin 4 and interleukin 9. Production of IgE is inhibited by administering an amount of an interleukin 9 inhibitor to a subject.
摘要:
The invention describes nucleic acid sequences which code for the interleukin 9 receptor (IL9-R) molecule. These sequences may be used as probes to identify cells expressing the molecule, and as agents to transfect recipient cells.

摘要:
The application describes neutralizing chimeric and humanized anti-human IL-9 antibodies, and the use thereof to identify neutralizing epitopes on human IL-9 and as medicaments to prevent and treat asthma, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, atopic allergy, and other related disorders. Particularly disclosed are recombinant antibodies derived from three murine anti-human IL-9 antibodies identified infra as MH9A3, MH9D1, and MH9L1.
摘要:
The methods of this invention relate to immunizing animals with conjugates of cytokines and a carrier to induce a prolonged high titre antibody response specific for the cytokine. This invention also relates to the treatment of pathological conditions, e.g., eosinophilia and allograft rejection, associated with the production of cytokines, in particular interleukins, e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, and IL-13, by immunization with the cytokine conjugates or by administration of antibodies specific for the cytokine. This invention also relates to compositions comprising the cytokine conjugates and the conjugates per se.

摘要:
The invention relates to substantially pure interleukin 9 receptor molecules and the use thereof. The uses include use as an interleukin-9 inhibitor, as a diagnostic agent for determining interleukin-9, and as a screening agent for pharmaceuticals. The interleukin-9 receptor is characterized as a glycoprotein of about 94 kilodaltons which, upon digestion with N-glycosidase F, yields a peptide of about 54 kilodaltons.
