摘要:
Activation of cells bearing CD40 on their cell surface by CD40 ligand is inhibited by contacting the cells with an agent capable of inhibiting interaction between CD40 ligand and the cells, in an amount effective to inhibit activation of the cells. Activation of cells bearing CD40 on their surface by CD40 ligand in a subject is inhibited by administering to the subject an agent capable of inhibiting interaction between CD40 ligand and the cells, in an amount effective to inhibit activation of the cells. Conditions dependent on CD4O ligand-induced activation of CD40-bearing cells are treated.
摘要:
Activation of smooth muscle cells bearing CD40 on their cell surface by CD40 ligand is inhibited by contacting the smooth muscle cells with an anti-T-BAM (CD40L) antibody capable of inhibiting the interactions between CD40 ligand and the CD40-bearing smooth muscle cells, in an amount effective to inhibit activation of the smooth muscle cells. Activation of smooth muscle cells bearing CD40 on their surface by CD40 ligand in a subject is inhibited by administering to the subject an anti-T-BAM (CD40L) antibody capable of inhibiting the interaction between CD40 ligand and the smooth muscle cells, in an amount effective to inhibit activation of the cells. Conditions dependent on CD40 ligand-induced activation of CD40-bearing cells smooth muscle cells are treated, in particular inflammatory bowel disease.
