    摘要: The present invention relates to a phosphomimetic RAGE protein comprising an amino acid sequence that is at least 90% identical to a native mammalian RAGE isoform or fragment thereof wherein at least one serine present in the cytoplasmatic tail of the mammalian RAGE isoform is replaced by a phosphomimetic structure. The invention further relates to a polynucleotide encoding phosphomimetic RAGE protein and a vector comprising the polynucleotide. Finally, the invention relates to a composition comprising carrier and an active pharmaceutical ingredient, selected from the RAGE protein the vector for use in the treatment or prevention of a disease in a patient, wherein the disease is preferably selected from a disease initiated by impaired DNA repair, a disease initiated by increased DNA damage or a disease initiated by increased senescence.

    摘要: The present invention relates to artificial Antigen Presenting Cells (aAPCs) comprising artificial Antigen Presenting Molecules (aAPMs) and, in particular, comprising dimers of the aAPMs as well as to methods for producing aAPCs. The invention further relates to compositions comprising the aAPCs and to vectors encoding the aAPMs of the aAPCs. Embodiments of the invention have been particularly developed for use in assays for determining an antigen-specific T cell response or a plurality of antigen-specific T cell responses and will be described hereinafter with reference to this application. However, it will be appreciated that the invention is not limited to this particular field of use.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) polypeptide, wherein in said HMGB1 polypeptide at least one, preferably two, more preferably three, most preferably all four tyrosine residues at positions corresponding to amino acid positions Y109, Y144, Y155 and/or Y162 of human HMGB1 have been exchanged to an amino acid residue independently selected from glutamic acid, glutamine, aspartic acid, asparagine, homoglutamic acid (2-aminohexanedioic acid), and homoglutamine (2,6-diamino-6-oxohexanoic acid). The present invention further relates to a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide according to the present invention, to a vector comprising said polynucleotide, and to a host cell comprising said polypeptide, said polynucleotide and/or said vector. Also, the present invention relates to methods, kits, and uses related thereto.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an in vitro method for evaluating the anti- or pro-arrhythmic potential, cardiotoxicity and/or modulation capacity of cardiomyocyte function of compound(s). The present invention also relates to compound(s) identified or evaluated in the method of the invention for use in the treatment of a heart disease. The present invention further relates to the use of the density change of cardiac Nav 1.5 sodium channels in intercalated discs of cardiomyocytes as marker and/or diagnostic for the anti- or pro-arrhythmic potential of a compound, the cardiotoxicity of a compound or modulation capacity of cardiomyocyte function by said compound, and/or in preclinical assessment for cardiac liability of compounds and cardio-safety assessment. The present invention further relates to a kit for evaluating the anti- or pro-arrhythmic potential, cardiotoxicity and/or modulation capacity of cardiomyocyte function of compound(s).

    摘要: The present invention relates to the identification of microRNAs of the miR-148 family that are involved in the pathogenesis of chronic pulmonary diseases. The present invention relates to micro RNA of the miR-148 family selected from miR-148a, miR-148b and miR-152 for use in the diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and/or therapy of a chronic pulmonary disease. The present invention further relates to miR-148 inhibitors, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such inhibitors, their use in preventing and/or treating chronic pulmonary diseases, and methods for preventing and/or treating chronic pulmonary diseases. The present invention further relates to transgenic, non-human mammals and methods for identifying modulators of miR-148 and methods for diagnosis and/or prognosis of chronic pulmonary diseases.
