摘要:
The present invention relates to an immuno-therapeutic and prophylactic vaccine comprising monocytes or immature myeloid cells (IMCs) loaded with the ligand of natural killer T cell and an antigen for the prevention and treatment of infectious disease or cancer, more precisely, an immuno-therapeutic and prophylactic vaccine comprising monocytes or IMCs loaded with α-galactosylceramide (αGalCer), a kind of glycolipid and a natural killer T cell ligand, and antigen. Monocytes or immature myeloid cells (IMCs) therein, which are easily obtainable, unlike dendritic cells, not only induce a significant level of cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses but also have a prophylactic and therapeutic effect on malignant tumor. Therefore, the immuno-therapeutic and prophylactic vaccine of the present invention can be effectively used as an immunotherapeutic agent.

The present invention relates to a B cell-based vaccine loaded with the ligand of natural killer T cell and antigen for the prevention and treatment of disease, more precisely, an immunotherapeutic and prophylactic vaccine mediated by B cells loaded with α-galactosylceramide, a kind of glycolipid which can stimulate natural killer T cells. A vaccine composition of the present invention can be effectively used as an antitumor immunotherapeutic agent. B cells therein, which are easily obtainable compared with dendritic cells, not only induce a similar level of cytotoxic T lymphocyte response to that of the conventional dendritic cell-based vaccine but also have a prophylactic and therapeutic effect on solid tumor and metastatic tumor.
摘要:
The present invention relates to human Her-2/neu expressing plasmid constructs having anti-cancer activity and a DNA vaccine comprising same for preventing and/or treating cancer. The Her-2/neu DNA vaccines of the present invention can be effectively used as a therapeutic vaccine in reducing metastasis after tumor surgery or as a prophylactic vaccine for people with genetic high risk.

摘要:
The present invention provides to an isoxazoline derivative of formula (I), the pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and stereochemically isomeric forms thereof, and the use of the derivative in inhibiting the activity of caspases. The present invention also provides a pharmaceutical composition for preventing inflammation and apoptosis which comprise the isoxazoline derivative, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters and stereochemically isomeric forms thereof and the process for preparing the same. The derivative according to the present invention can be effectively used in treating diseases due to caspases, such as, for example the disease in which cells are abnormally died, dementia, cerebral stroke, AIDS, diabetes, gastric ulcer, hepatic injury by hepatitis, sepsis, organ transplantation rejection reaction and anti-inflammation.
摘要:
Disclosed are novel α-galactosylceramide derivatives, pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, preparation methods thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions for use in an immune adjuvant containing the same as an active ingredient. The derivatives, in which the amide moiety of α-GalCer is bioisosterically replaced with a triazole moiety, direct cytokine secretion toward IL-4 rather than IFN-γand thus can be used as a therapeutic for autoimmune diseases regulated by IL-4, such as type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
摘要:
Provided is an anticancer agent which comprises an anti-PD-1 antibody or an anti-PD-L1 antibody as an active ingredient, functioning to reverse the unresponsiveness of iNKT cells in which anergy has been induced by administration with an iNKT cell ligand. The anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody blocks the PD-1/PD-L1-mediated signaling pathway not only to prevent the iNKT cell ligand-induced iNKT cell anergy, but also to reverse the unresponsiveness of already anergic iNKT cells to produce cytokines. In addition, the anti-PD1 or anti-PD-L1 antibody ensures the potent anti-tumor activity of iNKT cells as demonstrated by a significant reduction in the number of metastatic nodules in B16F10 melanoma metastasis models in vivo. Collectively, the anticancer agent can be very useful in the treatment of cancer, particularly metastatic cancer.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to humanized antibodies that specifically bind the protein 4-1BB. The antibodies can be made by grafting of the complementarity determining regions (CDR's) of mouse monoclonal antibody to human 4-1BB to the remaining portions of a human antibody and by making further amino acid replacements. In addition, a pharmaceutical composition that includes the humanized antibody can be made and can be used to treat autoimmune diseases to suppress an immune response. The humanized antibody of the invention has high affinity for human 4-1BB, and exhibits sequence similarity to human antibody. As a result, the pharmaceutical composition of the present invention can be used to treat autoimmune disease and act as an immunosuppressant in humans without much side-effect.
