摘要:
Polypeptide growth factors, methods of making them, polynucleotides encoding them, antibodies to them, and methods of using them are disclosed. The polypeptides comprise an amino acid segment that is at least 70% identical to residues 52-179 of SEQ ID NO:2 or residues 258-370 of SEQ ID NO:2. Multimers of the polypeptides are also disclosed. The polypeptides, multimeric proteins, and polynucleotides can be used in the study and regulation of cell and tissue development, as components of cell culture media, and as diagnostic agents.

摘要:
The invention provides improved agents and methods for treatment of diseases associated with amyloid deposits of Anull in the brain of a patient. Preferred agents include humanized antibodies.
摘要:
The present invention provides optimized heteromeric variable region binding fragments and antibodies comprising optimized heteromeric variable region binding fragments. Preferably, the optimized heteromeric variable region binding fragments exhibit optimized activity compared to donor heteromeric variable regions and have unvaried human frameworks. The present invention also provides methods of making the optimized heteromeric variable region binding fragments.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a humanized antibody or functional fragment thereof which binds to a mammalian (e.g., human) CC-chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) or a portion of the receptor and blocks binding of a ligand to the receptor. The invention further relates to a method of inhibiting the interaction of a cell bearing mammalian CCR2 with a ligand thereof, and to use of the antibodies and fragments in therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic methods.
摘要:
The invention relates to the use of a polypeptide which comprises i) a first portion comprising the part of human Fc which binds to CD64, and ii) a second portion comprising one or more heterologous T cell epitopes for stimulating a cytotoxic T cell response. The polypeptide may be an antibody which may be used to stimulate an cytotoxic T cell response against pathogens and tumour cells in patients in need of such treatment.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a synthetic variable region of an immunoglobin construct which contains in at least one of its CDRs a sequence of thrombopoietin, e.g. , IEGPTLRQWLAARA or its derivatives. This construct can efficiently bind and activate a thrombopoientin receptor (MPL) leading to stimulation of proliferation, growth or differentiation or modulation of apoptosis of hematopoietic cells, especially platelet progenitor cells. The invention further relates to the use of the synthebody to treat hematopoietic or immune disorders, and particularly thrombocytopenia resulting from chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or bone marrow transfusions.

摘要:
Provided are specific antibodies which are capable of modulating T cell activity and uses thereof. In particular, antibodies and binding fragments thereof are described, which react with a specific domain of biliary glycoprotein (BGP), also known as CD66a, CEACAM1 and C-CAM1, and which are capable of suppressing the cytolytic activity of intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIELs). Furthermore, compositions comprising said antibodies are provided and methods of modulating immune cell proliferation, and treating immune response related diseases.
