    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for the treatment of IL-17-type inflammatory demyelinating diseases with inhibitors of granulocyte function, e.g. elastase inhibitors. Diseases of interest include multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, animal models of such diseases, etc. In some embodiments pharmaceutical formulations comprising an elastase inhibitor in an effective dose for treatment of IL-17-type inflammatory demyelinating disease and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient are provided. Patients may be classified into subtypes prior to treatment, which subtypes are informative of the patient's need for therapy and responsiveness to a therapy of interest.

    摘要: Compositions and methods are provided for prognostic classification of inflammatory diseases, e.g. inflammatory demyelinating disease, patients into subtypes, which subtypes are informative of the patient's need for therapy and responsiveness to a therapy of interest. The patterns of cytokines provides for a signature pattern that can identify patients likely to benefit from therapeutic intervention as well as discriminate patients that have a high probability of responsiveness to a therapy from those that have a low probability of responsiveness. Assessment of this signature pattern thus allows improved methods of care. In one embodiment of the invention, the autoimmune disease is multiple sclerosis or neuromyelitis optica.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods for detecting changes in tryptophan concentrations in a cell and methods for identifying agents that modulate cellular tryptophan concentrations. In particular, the present invention provides methods for detecting cellular exchange between tryptophan and kynurenine, and methods for identifying agents that modulate this exchange. The present invention also provides methods for treating a disease associated with immunosuppression in a subject in need thereof. In particular, the present invention is directed toward a method of treating a disease associated with immunosuppression comprising contacting the disease with an agent that modulates cellular Trp/kynurenine exchange. Furthermore, the present invention provides methods for identifying an agent that modulates an immunosuppression.
