Abstract:
The present disclosure involves biologically active proteins termed stradobodies and having bimodal activity. Thus, the present disclosure provides compositions and methods providing both target cell destructive and immunosuppressive activities, useful in the treatment of diseases and conditions including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, infectious diseases, or cancers.
Abstract:
The present invention involves a series of fully recombinant multimerized forms of immunoglobulin Fc which thereby present polyvalent immunoglobulin Fc to immune cell receptors. The fusion proteins exist as both homodimeric and highly ordered multimeric fractions, termed stradomers. The invention involves fusion proteins that bind to FcγRs and complement and that are useful in the treatment and prevention of disease.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides ACE2-Fc fusion proteins comprising an ACE2 extracellular domain or fragment thereof and one or more Fc domains and methods of use thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for the identification of patients with an inflammatory or autoimmune disease that demonstrate an inadequate response to treatment with a multi-Fc therapeutic, and the determination of an optimal dose of a multi-Fc therapeutic for said patient based on the patient's circulating levels of inactivated C3b (iC3b) and/or additional complement components that may be employed as a surrogate for iC3b based on an analogous response to multi-Fc therapeutics. The present invention further provides for improvements in the use of such multi-Fc therapeutics in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases

Abstract:
The present disclosure involves biologically active proteins termed cysteine-optimized multimerizing stradomers. Thus, the present disclosure provides compositions and methods providing anti-autoimmune and anti-inflammatory activities, useful in the treatment of diseases and conditions including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, or infectious diseases.
Abstract:
The current invention involves a series of fully recombinant multimerized forms of immunoglobulin Fc which thereby present polyvalent immunoglobulin Fc to immune cell receptors. The fusion proteins exist as both homodimeric and highly ordered multimeric fractions, termed stradomers. In comparison to the homodimeric fraction, purified multimeric stradomers have higher affinity and avidity for Fc Rs with slower dissociation and are useful in the treatment and prevention of disease. The current invention demonstrates that directly linking IgG1 Fc regions to multimerization domains leads to enhanced multimerization and biological activity.
Abstract:
The present disclosure involves optimized methods for production of hiologically active proteins termed optimally manufactured stradomers. The present disclosure further provides compositions and methods useful in the treatment of diseases and conditions including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory diseases, or infectious diseases.
Abstract:
The current invention involves a series of fully recombinant multimerized forms of immunoglobulin Fc which thereby present polyvalent immunoglobulin Fc to immune cell receptors. The fusion proteins exist as both homodimeric and highly ordered multimeric fractions, termed stradomers. The invention involves stradomers that increase multimerization and bind preferentially to complement and that are useful in the treatment and prevention of disease.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to biologically active fusion proteins containing the IgG2 hinge as a multimerization domain capable of multimerizing proteins, peptides and small molecules which are active or more active in multimeric form; compositions comprising such fusion proteins; and methods of making and using such fusion proteins.
