摘要:
There is disclosed a polypeptide (CD40-L) and DNA sequences, vectors and transformed host cells useful in providing CD40-L polypeptides. More particularly, this invention provides isolated human and murine CD40-L polypeptides that bind to the extracellular binding region of a CD40 receptor and lack native-pattern glycosylation.
摘要:
The invention pertains to methods of treating cardiovascular disease by modulating inflammatory and immunoregulatory responses associated with such pathological conditions. Embodiments of the invention provide methods for the treatment of cardiovascular disease in a subject having cardiovascular disease comprising administering an effective amount of one or more IL-17 antagonists, IL-18 antagonists, 4-1BB antagonists, CD30 antagonists, OX40 antagonists and/or CD39 alone or in any combination. This abstract is provided for the sole purpose of enabling the reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure and is not intended to be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).
摘要:
The present invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules that encode a substantial part of canine RANKL polypeptide, including the extracellular domains of that polypeptide, the polypeptide and fragments thereof. Vectors and host cells encoding and expressing canine RANKL polypeptide are provided, as well as antibodies that bind to RANKL and that inhibit RANKL activity. Also provided are methods of treating an animal to inhibit or treat the loss of bone minerals.
摘要:
The present invention relates to heterospecific polypeptide constructs comprising at least one single domain antibody directed against a therapeutic and/or diagnostic target and at least one single domain antibody directed against a serum protein, said construct having a prolonged lifetime in biological circulatory systems. The invention further relates to methods for stabilising VHHs in biological circulatory systems.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to methods for activating and expanding cells, and more particularly, to a novel method to activate and/or stimulate cells that maximizes the expansion of such cells to achieve dramatically high densities. In the various embodiments, cells are activated and expanded to very high densities in a short period of time. In certain embodiments, cells are activated and expanded to very high numbers of cells in a short period of time. Compositions of cells activated and expanded by the methods herein are further provided.

摘要:
The present invention relates to therapeutic methods involving the use of at least one asthma related anti-IL-13 human Ig derived protein, as well as such proteins and isolated nucleic acids that encode at least one asthma related Ig derived protein, vectors, host cells, transgenic animals or plants, and methods of making and using thereof, including pharmceutical compositions, methods and devices.
摘要:
Human antibodies, preferably recombinant human antibodies that specifically bind to human Fas Ligand (hFasL) are disclosed. These antibodies have high affinity for hFasL, a slow off rate for hFasL dissociation and neutralize a Fas Ligand activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. The antibodies, or antigen-binding portions, of the invention are useful for neutralizing Fas Ligand activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hFas Ligand activity is detrimental. Nucleic acids, vectors and host cells for expressing the recombinant anti-hFasL human antibodies, and the methods for synthesizing the recombinant human antibodies are also encompassed by the invention.
摘要:
The present invention relates to antibodies and related molecules that immunospecifically bind to BlyS. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for detecting or diagnosing a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BlyS expression or inappropriate function of BlyS comprising antibodies or fragments or variants thereof or related molecules that immunospecifically bind to BlyS. The present invention further relates to methods and compositions for preventing, treating or ameliorating a disease or disorder associated with aberrant BlyS expression or inappropriate BlyS function comprising administering to an animal an effective amount of one or more antibodies or fragments or variants thereof or related molecules that immunospecifically bind to BlyS.
