    摘要: The invention provides methods for predicting responsiveness of a subject to therapy with a CTLA-4 blocking agent. The methods involve assaying for at least one CTLA-4 polymorphism in the subject and predicting responsiveness of the subject to therapy with a CTLA-4 blocking agent based on presence or absence of a CTLA-4 polymorphic allele in the subject. The methods can further comprise selecting a treatment regimen with a CTLA-4 blocking agent in a subject based upon presence or absence of a CTLA-4 polymorphic allele in the subject. The methods can further comprise administering a CTLA-4 blocking agent to the subject according to the selected treatment regimen. Kits comprising a CTLA-4 blocking agent and means for assaying one or more CTLA-4 polymorphisms, optionally including a vaccine, are also provided.

    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.
