Abstract:
Provided are methods and compositions for detecting and treating normal, hypoplastic, ectopic or remnant tissue, organ or cells in a mammal. The method comprises parenterally injecting a mammalian subject, at a locus and by a route providing access to said tissue or organ, with an composition comprising antibody/fragment which specifically binds to targeted organ, tissue or cell. The antibody/fragment may be administered alone, or labeled or conjugated with an imaging, therapeutic, cytoprotective or activating agent.
Abstract:
This invention provides methods of treating autoimmune diseases, including those selected from the group consisting of rheumatoid arthritis, Myasthenia gravis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Graves' disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura, hemolytic anemia and diabetes mellitus with 5C8-specific antibodies.
Abstract:
This invention provides a method of inhibiting an allergic response in a subject by inhibiting T cell activation of B cells, wherein said method comprises administering to the subject an antibody capable of binding to a protein which is specifically recognized by monoclonal antibody 5C8 produced by the hybridoma having ATCC Accession No. HB 10916.

Abstract:
A method for the selective depletion of activated CD4.sup.+ T-cells in vivo by using immunotoxins comprising the OX-40 antibody conjugated to a toxic molecule (such as Ricin-A chain). The administration of these specific immunotoxins is used therapeutically to deplete autoimmune reactive CD4.sup.+ T-cells which have been implicated in diseases including Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Sarcoidosis, and Autoimmune Uveitis. This type of therapy is also beneficial for eradicating CD4.sup.+ T-cell lymphomas and alloreactive CD4.sup.+ T-cells involved with a transplantation reaction. The use of the human form of the OX-40 antibody will also help in the early diagnosis of all the diseases mentioned above.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a bispecific antibody capable of specifically binding PVRIG and TIGIT, which can modulate the function of immune cells and can be used as a drug to treat diseases related to immune abnormalities, such as tumors.

Abstract:
This invention provides a monoclonal antibody which specifically recognizes and forms a complex with a protein located on the surface of activated T cells and thereby inhibits T cell activation of B cells. This invention also provides the monoclonal antibody 5c8 (ATCC Accession No. ______). This invention provides a human CD4− T cell leukemia cell line designated D1.1 (ATCC Accession No. ______) capable of constitutively providing contact-dependent helper function to B cells. This invention also provides an isolated protein from the surface of activated T cells, wherein the protein is necessary for T cell activation of B cells. This invention further provides an isolated, soluble protein from the surface of activated T cells, wherein the protein is necessary for T cell activation of B cells.
