Abstract:
It is possible to inhibit inflammatory processes by administration of antibodies to chemokines. Identification of chemokines which are over-produced makes it possible to block specific chemokine activity using antibodies to the over-expressed chemokines.
Abstract:
This application is directed to chemokine-immunoglobulin fusion polypeptides and chemokine-polymer conjugates. The fusion polypeptides and conjugates can be used for treating chemokine receptor-mediated disorders and modulating inflammation, inflammatory cell motility, cancer cell motility, or cancer cell survival.
Abstract:
Methods for prevention, treatment or inhibition of the growth or metastasis of cancer cells in a subject are disclosed. One method comprises the step of administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of tumor associated antigen binding ligand-coated planetary ball milled (PBM) nanoparticles containing a cytotoxic agent.
Abstract:
A method for detecting an inflammatory disease in a subject is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of (a) detecting a level of expression of one or more inflammatory disease markers in a biological sample obtained from the subject; and (b) comparing the level of expression of said one or more inflammatory disease markers in the biological sample to a normal level of expression of the one or more inflammatory disease markers, wherein the one or more inflammatory disease markers comprise one or more markers selected from the group consisting of CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CXCL13, CXCR3 and CXCR5. Also disclosed are a method for monitoring the course of treatment for an inflammatory disease in a subject and a kit for detecting an inflammatory disease in a subject.
Abstract:
Compositions of lymphotactin in cellular immune enhancing amounts may advantageously be administered at very low levels in conjunction with vaccines to provide improved immune response, Suggested dosage such as 1 to 10 .eta.g in small animals and from 10 .mu.g to 10 mg in large mammals may be administered.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a means of inhibiting the growth and metastasis of cancer cells by administering anti-chemokine antibodies. It is possible to identify the particular chemokines which are over-expressed in the tumor using methods of the invention and administer antibodies against that over-expressed chemokine.
