摘要:
The invention relates to a monoclonal antibody or antigen binding fragment thereof having binding specificity for ouabain, wherein the antibody or antigen binding fragment does not crossreact with digoxin. Preferably the anti-ouabain monoclonal antibody can bind ouabain with an affinity of at least about 10−7M, preferably 10−8M, and more preferably 10−9M. The invention also relates to diagnostic and therapeutic uses of the monoclonal antibodies described herein.
摘要:
A complex including an HLA class I molecule and attaching means for selectively attaching the HLA class I molecule to a target is disclosed, and a method is provided for producing or enhancing an immunological response against a target cell, by attaching said complex to the target cell. Where the target cell is diseased, foreign, or malignant cell, this method may be used to promote lysis of the target cell by T cells in the immune system. Where the target cell is an antigen presenting cell, this method may be used to promote proliferation of specific T cell clones. Uses include prevention and treatment of diseases including cancer, leukaemia, infectious diseases, viral infections, such as HIV, bacterial infections, such as tuberculosis, and parasitic infections such as malaria.
摘要:
The present invention provides immunoselective targeting agents that bind to transporters that are transiently accessible on the surface of neuronal cells, and that deliver compounds selectively to such cells. The invention provides methods of selectively killing, as well as methods of selectively promoting survival of, a neuronal cell.
摘要:
The present invention provides amino acid sequences of peptides that are encoded by genes within the human genome, the kinase peptides of the present invention. The present invention specifically provides isolated peptide and nucleic acid molecules, methods of identifying orthologs and paralogs of the kinase peptides, and methods of identifying modulators of the kinase peptides.
摘要:
The invention provides monoclonal antibodies, which specifically react with a Fas ligand, or active fragments thereof, a production process of the monoclonal antibodies, which specifically react with a Fas ligand, hybridomas separately producing a monoclonal antibody, which specifically reacts with a Fas ligand present on a cell surface, a method of detecting a Fas ligand in a solution, and a kit for use in detecting a Fas ligand, comprising plurality of monoclonal antibodies against Fas ligand in combination.
摘要:
Human ICE LAP-6 polypeptides and DNA (RNA) encoding such ICE LAP-6 and a procedure for producing such polypeptides by recombinant techniques is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for utilize such ICE LAP-6 for the treatment of a susceptibility to viral infection, tumorogenesis and to diseases and defects in the control embryogenesis and tissue homeostasis, and the nucleic acid sequences described above may be employed in an assay for ascertaining such susceptibility. Antagonists against such ICE LAP-6 and their use as a therapeutic to treat Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, septic shock, sepsis, stroke, chronic inflammation, acute inflammation, CNS inflammation, osteoporosis, ischemia reperfusion injury, cell death associated with cardiovascular disease, polycystic kidney disease, apoptosis of endothelial cells in cardiovascular disease, degenerative liver disease, MS, ALS, cererbellar degeneration ischemic injury, myocardial infarction, AIDS, myelodysplastic syndromes, aplastic anemia, male pattern baldness, and head injury damage are also disclosed. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting diseases related to mutations in the nucleic acid sequences and altered concentrations of the polypeptides. Also disclosed are diagnostic assays for detecting mutations in the polynucleotides encoding the interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme apoptosis proteases and for detecting altered levels of the polypeptide in a host.
摘要:
This invention provides hybridoma cell lines producing monoclonal antibodies which inhibit CD14 mediated cell activation. Monoclonal antibodies produced by these cell lines also are provided. The antibodies are useful for the detection of the presence of cell surface and soluble CD14 in a sample. Chimeric and CDR grafted antibodies generated from the above monoclonal antibodies are further provided. Pharmaceutical compositions containing the above biological compositions are provided. These are useful to treat and prevent disorders with CD14 mediated cell activation, such as sepsis.
摘要:
The invention provides methods of treating autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions by administering agents that hinder the CD30/CD30L interaction, combination treatments, and methods of treating conditions resistant to treatment with TNFα inhibitors by administering agents that inhibit signal transduction by CD30 or IL-1. Included also are treatments involving concurrently administering agents that block the CD30/CD30L interaction and agents that antagonize the IL-4/IL-4R interaction. Additionally provided is an animal model for screening candidate agents for their efficacy in treating conditions that are resistant to treatment with TNFα inhibitors.
