摘要:
This invention provides binding proteins, including antibodies, antibody derivatives and antibody fragments, that specifically bind a CD154 (CD40L) protein. This invention also provides a chimeric, humanized or fully human antibody, antibody derivative or antibody fragment that specifically binds to an epitope to which a humanized Fab fragment comprising a variable heavy chain sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 1 and comprising a variable light chain sequence according to SEQ ID NO: 2 specifically binds. CD154 binding proteins of this invention may elicit reduced effector function relative to a second anti-CD154 antibody. CD154 binding proteins of this invention are useful in diagnostic and therapeutic methods, such as in the treatment and prevention of diseases including those that involve undesirable immune responses that are mediated by CD154-CD40 interactions.

摘要:
The present invention relates to novel CD40:CD154 binding interrupter compounds and use of these compounds and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, to treat conditions associated with inappropriate CD154 activation in a subject. Specifically, this invention provides compounds which are identified by screening a library of small molecules for those that are capable of specifically binding CD154 and interrupting CD40:CD154 interaction.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for designing and producing novel CD40:CD154 binding interrupter compounds and methods using these compounds to treat conditions associated with inappropriate CD154 activation in a subject. This invention also relates to novel methods for screening candidate compounds for the properties of specifically binding CD154 and interrupting CD40:CD154 interaction. This invention further relates to methods of improving the binding affinity, or the ability to block CD40/CD154 interaction, of a synthetic molecule for a trimeric protein, such as CD154. These methods comprise converting a first synthetic molecule that cannot promote lattice or aggregate formation of its target trimeric protein to a second synthetic molecule that can promote lattice or aggregate formation of its target trimeric protein. This invention also relates to a two-dimensional lattice or aggregate comprising a plurality of trimeric CD154 on a cell surface or in solution, wherein the lattice or aggregate is formed by bivalent anti-CD154 antibodies associated with trimeric CD154 molecules.
