摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for improving anti-VEGF antibodies in order to provide or improve antibodies that preferentially inhibit binding to VEGF to VEGF-R2 rather than VEGF binding to VEGF-R1; and antibodies provided by said methods.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and medicaments useful for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) by administering an anti-CTGF antibody. In particular, the treatment methods provided avoid toxicities associated with approved therapies and also avoid the attenuation of the efficacy of an anti-CTGF antibody caused by these approved therapies.
摘要:
Herein is reported a multimeric fusion polypeptide comprising five monomeric fusion polypeptides each comprising at least a Fab fragment and a COMP-domain of SEQ ID NO: 01 or a functional fragment thereof.
摘要:
Provided are mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EV) having tethered (membrane-bound) TGF-β (MSC-derived membrane-tethered TGF-β EV), and compositions containing such EV for use as therapeutics and immunomodulatory agents. Provided also are diagnostic methods and methods of assessing or monitoring disease status and/or progression in patients using membrane-tethered TGF-β derived from a variety of cell sources that serve as detectable, quantifiable biomarkers in biological samples. The MSC-derived membrane-tethered TGF-β EV can also be used to deliver various bioactive agents to a target cell or tissue for treating various diseases. The level of TGF-β tethered to the membrane of the EV can also be modified or manipulated in vitro or ex vivo. Such modified MSC-derived membrane-tethered TGF-β EV are useful as immunotherapeutic agents in the treatment or management of certain diseases, particularly those involving inflammation, autoimmunity, transplant rejection and cancer.
摘要:
This invention relates to a stable pharmaceutical formulation of an antibody against Angiopoietin-2, in particular a bispecific antibody binding Angiopoietin-2 and vascular endothelial growth factor, and a process for the preparation and uses of the formulation.
摘要:
Peptide-antibody complexes, including fusions and conjugates, that target or accumulate in target cells, such as tumors and diseased cells, or enhance the immune system are disclosed. In some embodiments, such complexes function as platforms for attaching and targeting one or more therapeutic agents or detectable agents, including radioisotopes, detectable labels, and/or cytotoxic agents, to target cells in the central nervous system or across the blood brain barrier, cancerous cells, or target cells recognized by the antibody in such complexes. In some complexes, the peptide serves as the targeting mechanism, while other embodiments contemplate the antibody as the targeting mechanism. Peptides and/or antibodies can be engineered to deliver various effector functions in various embodiments. Peptide-antibody complexes that function as immunotherapies and enhance a body's immune system in detecting and/or destroying diseased cells or pathogens are also disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions and uses of peptide-antibody complexes are further disclosed.
摘要:
Herein described is a method for treating cancer in a subject by administering a human umbilical cord perivascular cell (HUCPVC) that has been genetically modified to increase the expression of an oligonucleotide or a polypeptide such as an anti-cancer antibody.
摘要:
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to devices and methods for removing, depeleting, reducing or decreasing TGFβ polypeptides from blood or a blood product.
摘要:
Provided herein are methods of treating hematologic cancer, such as chronic myelogenous leukemia, or splenomegaly by inhibiting PTN expression or activity. Additionally, provided herein are methods of reducing white blood cell count in a subject with elevated white blood cell count (e.g., as a result of a pathological condition), as well as methods of reducing the number of leukemia stem cells in bone marrow by inhibiting PTN expression or activity.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are ActRII antagonists and methods for increasing immune responses and/or activity in patients in need thereof including, for example, cancer patients. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods for treating cancer and/or tumors in a patient comprising administration of an ActRII antagonists and a PDl-PDLl antagonist.
