Abstract:
La présente invention se rapporte à l'utilisation de l'histamine pour induire la polarisation des cellules dendritiques, et plus particulièrement pour induire la polarisation des cellules dendritiques en cellules dendritiques de type 2, utiles notamment pour le traitement thérapeutique et prophylactique des pathologies associées à une réponse Th1 excessive.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns methods for raising an immune response to a targeted antigen in a patient for treating human disease by administering an immunogenic composition wherein said patient is selected in a patient population of interest.

Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of histamine to induce the polarisation of dendritic cells and, more specifically, to induce the polarisation of dendritic cells into type 2 dendritic cells, which are used, in particular, for the therapeutic and prophylactic treatment of pathologies associated with an excessive Th1 response.
Abstract:
Monoclonal antibodies inhibiting binding of soluble IgE to human lymphocytes, to monoclonal antibodies to human lymphocyte IgE receptors, and to hybridomas producing such antibodies. These antibodies are preferably of the immunoglobulin subclass IgG1. They can be used in assaying soluble Fc epsilon RII and cells carrying these Fc epsilon RII receptors. The invention further provides kits for assaying soluble Fc epsilon RII and also cells carrying these Fc epsilon RII receptors by means of monoclonal antibodies described herein.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns new recombinant viral vaccines. In particular the present invention provides combination products that comprise recombinant viral vectors and specific compounds able to improve the immune response raised in vivo by said recombinant viral vectors.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a novel method for preparing a polypeptide soluble in an aqueous solvent in the absence of detergent, and polypeptides obtainable by said method. The invention also concerns the use of said polypeptides, in particular for preparing medicines or vaccines, for fighting against bacterial and viral infections or cancers.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the identification and the characterisation of a novel gene expressed in tumour cells and involved in the regulation of the immune response, the cloning and the characterisation of its cDNA and the corresponding polypeptides. The invention also concerns vectors containing a nucleic acid coding for said gene, cells transformed by said vectors and diagnostic methods and selection methods of a chemical or biological compound capable of directly or indirectly interacting with a nucleic acid or a polypeptide of the invention. The invention further concerns compounds for treating immune pathologies, in particular autoimmune diseases and cancer.
Abstract:
Binding agents to CD11b, CD11c, CD21, CD23, a 70 to 85 KDa protein expressed on endothelial cells or a 115 KDa protein expressed on endothelial cells, can be useful in the treatment of inflammatory, autoimmune or allergic disease.
