    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, or prevention of a non-neoplastic hyperproliferative cell or excessive cell accumulation disorders, particularly those involving hyperproliferation of epithelial or endothelial cells. In one embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more EphA2 agonistic agents that bind to EphA2 and increase EphA2 cytoplasmic tail phosphorylation and/or increase EphA2 autophosphorylation in cells which EphA2 has been agonized. In another embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more EphA2 agonistic agents that bind to EphA2 and reduce EphA2 activity (other than autophosphorylation). In another embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise administration of an effective amount of one or more EphA2 agonistic agents that bind to EphA2 and decrease a pathology-causing cell phenotype (e.g., a pathology-causing epithelial cell phenotype or a pathology-causing endothelial cell phenotype). In another embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more EphA2 agonistic agents that are EphA2 antibodies that bind to EphA2 with a very low Koff rate. In preferred embodiments, agents of the invention are monoclonal antibodies. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more EphA2 agonistic agents of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful in therapy for non-neoplastic hyperproliferative cell or excessive cell accumulation disorders.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, or prevention of cancer, particularly, metastatic cancer. In one embodiment, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of an antibody that binds to EphA2 and agonizes EphA2, thereby increasing EphA2 phosphorylation and decreasing EphA2 levels. In other embodiments, the methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of an antibody that binds to EphA2 and inhibits cancer cell colony formation in soft agar, inhibits tubular network formation in three-dimensional basement membrane or extracellular matrix preparation, preferentially binds to an EphA2 epitope that is exposed on cancer cells but not non-cancer cells, and/or has a low Koff, thereby, inhibiting tumor cell growth and/or metastasis. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more EphA2 antibodies of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful for cancer therapy.

    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, or prevention of a hypoproliferative cell disorder, especially those disorders relating to the destruction, shedding, or inadequate proliferation of epithelial and/or endothelial cells, particularly interstitial cystitis (IC) and lesions associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The methods of the invention comprise the administration of an effective amount of one or more agents that are antagonists of EphA2. In certain embodiments, the EphA2 antagonistic agent of the invention decreases EphA2-endogenous ligand binding, upregulates EphA2 gene expression and/or translation, increases EphA2 protein stability or protein accumulation, decreases EphA2 cytoplasmic tail phosphorylation, promotes EphA2 kinase activity (other than autophosphorylation or ligand-mediated EphA2 signaling), increases proliferation of EphA2 expressing cells, increases survival of EphA2 expressing cells, and/or maintains/reconstitutes epithelial and/or endothelial cell layer integrity. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more EphA2 antagonistic agents of the invention either alone or in combination with one or more other agents useful for therapy for a hypoproliferative cell disorder. Diagnostic methods and methods for screening for therapeutically useful agents are also provided.

    摘要: Methods for modulating immune responses in a subject are provided. A preferred embodiment provides methods and compositions for reducing or inhibiting transplant rejection in a subject, preferably a human subject. Transplant rejection can be inhibited or reduced in a subject by administering an effective amount of B7-H4 polypeptide, fragments or fusions thereof to inhibit or reduce the biological activity of an immune cell or to reduce the amounts of proinflammatory molecules at a site of transplant. Th1, Th17 and Th22 cells are exemplary T cells that can be targeted for inhibition by B7-H4 polypeptides, fusion proteins or fragments thereof to inhibit or reduce inflammation.

    摘要: The present invention provides bacterial immunogenic agents for administration to humans and non-human animals to stimulate an immune response. It particularly relates to the vaccination of mammalian species with heteropolymeric protein complexes as a mechanism for stimulating production of antibodies that protect the vaccine recipient against infection by pathogenic bacterial species. In another aspect the invention provides antibodies against such proteins and protein complexes that may be used as diagnostics and/or as protective/treatment agents for pathogenic bacterial species. A novel vector for expressing the FimC-H complex at optimal levels is also disclosed.
