Abstract:
The invention provides antibody against p40, IL-12 or IL-23 for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer's disease. It further provides ligands to the pair of interleukin 12 or 23 and its specific receptor, specifically an antibody, an antibody fragment, an antibody-like- molecule, for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Similarly, siRNA, antisense or transcription factor modulators of gene expression of p19, p35, p40, IL-12R- ß1, IL-12R-ß2, and/or IL-23R for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer's disease are provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel therapeutic or prophylactic treatment in human subjects. The present invention results in part from the discovery that antagonists of IL-18Ra are effective in vivo for treating diseases. Accordingly, the invention provides a method of treating, preventing or ameliorating the symptoms of an autoimmune or demyelinating disease (such as multiple sclerosis) in a subject, preferably a human subject, said method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antagonist of IL-18Ra. The invention also pertains to the use of an antagonist of IL-18Ra in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of an autoimmune or demyelinating diseases (such as multiple sclerosis).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel therapeutic or prophylactic treatment in human subjects. The present invention results in part from the discovery that antagonists of IL-18Rα are effective in vivo for treating diseases. Accordingly, the invention provides a method of treating, preventing or ameliorating the symptoms of an autoimmune or demyelinating disease (such as multiple sclerosis) in a subject, preferably a human subject, said method comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antagonist of IL-18Rα. The invention also pertains to the use of an antagonist of IL-18Rα in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of an autoimmune or demyelinating diseases (such as multiple sclerosis).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a combination medicament for treatment of malignant neoplastic disease. The combination medicament comprises an IL-12 polypeptide having a biological activity of IL-12 or a nucleic acid expression vector comprising a sequence encoding such IL-12 polypeptide, and a non-agonist CTLA-4 ligand or non-agonist PD-1 ligand, particularly an anti-CTLA-4 or anti-PD-1 immunoglobulin G.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a method and assay with which certain cellular parameters can be determined. This method and assay provides an effective means for assessing drug candidate liabilities (toxicities and side effects) to better predict safety early in the drug development process.

Similarly, siRNA, antisense or transcription factor modulators of gene expression of p19, p35, p40, IL-12R- β1, IL-12R-β2, and/or IL-23R for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer's disease are provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to novel therapeutic protein useful in the treatment of diseases, in particular in human subjects. The results of the inventor strongly support the use of soluble IL-18Rα in the treatment of diseases such as autoimmune or demyelinating disease, in particular Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Accordingly, the invention provides soluble IL-18Rα for use in the treatment of autoimmune or demyelinating disease, in particular MS. The invention also provides methods of treating, preventing or ameliorating the symptoms of autoimmune or demyelinat ing disease, in particular MS, in a subject, preferably a human subject, by administering a therapeutically effective amount of said soluble IL-18Rα to the subject.
