摘要:
The present invention provides human antibodies specific for stem cell factor that contain at least one CDR derived from a combinatorial antibody library. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibodies and methods of treating asthma. The invention further provides methods of detecting stem cell factor using the antibodies.
摘要:
This invention relates to modified IL-4 mutein receptor antagonists comprising an IL-4 mutein receptor antagonist coupled to polyethylene glycol. Related formulations and dosages and methods of administration thereof for therapeutic purposes are also provided. These modified IL-4 mutein receptor antagonists, compositions and methods provide a treatment option for those individuals afflicted with a respiratory disorder such as asthma by inhibiting IL-4 and IL-13-mediated airway hyperresponsiveness and eosinophilia. More particularly, these antagonists have an increased duration of effect versus unmodified IL-4RA by virtue of a greater plasma half-life.
摘要:
Chimeric polypeptide antagonists that include an interleukin-4 (IL-4) mutein linked to an interleukin-9 (IL-9) mutein are provided, as are polynucleotides encoding the IL-4 and IL-9 chimeric mutein antagonists. Also provided are methods of using the chimeric mutein antagonists and encoding polypeptides to reduce or inhibit the responsiveness of a cell to a cytokine such as IL-4, IL-9 and/or interleukin-13. Methods using the compositions to treat disorders such as pulmonary disorders (e.g., asthma) also are provided.
摘要:
The example embodiments herein relate to the field of electronic registration (ER) of purchased products and, more particularly, to an improved electronic registration system which enables online buyers and sellers (e.g. those participating in online auctions) to take advantage of the benefits associated with ER systems. The ER techniques enable buyers to determine whether the product for sale, for example, has been purchased through authorized channels, was stolen, is covered under a warranty, etc. Such techniques may be used with existing brick-and-mortar stores as well as online stores. Value may be added for buyers, sellers, auction houses, manufacturers, and/or contract service partners.
