摘要:
The invention pertains to a method of treating a condition mediated by or characterized by increased 5-lipoxygenase activity like for instance asthma in a patient suffering therefrom comprising administering to said patient a composition comprising (R)-zileuton and a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient, wherein said composition is substantially free of (S)-zileuton.
摘要:
Antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of antibodies that bind human CXCR3 are disclosed. In preferred embodiments, the antibodies are human. Nucleic acids and vectors encoding the antibodies or portions thereof, recombinant cells that contain the nucleic acids, and compositions comprising the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments are also disclosed. The invention also provides therapeutic and diagnostic methods which employ the antibodies and antigen-binding fragments.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a humanized antibody or functional fragment thereof which binds to a mammalian (e.g., human) CC-chemokine receptor 2 (CCR2) or a portion of the receptor and blocks binding of a ligand to the receptor. The invention further relates to a method of inhibiting the interaction of a cell bearing mammalian CCR2 with a ligand thereof, and to use of the antibodies and fragments in therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic methods.
摘要:
The invention relates to isolated and/or recombinant nucleic acids which encode a human chemotactic cytokine designated human eotaxin, and to isolated and/or recombinant human eotaxin proteins or polypeptides, including synthetic polypeptides. The invention further relates to recombinant nucleic acid constructs, comprising a nucleic acid which encodes a human eotaxin, a portion thereof, or a variant; to host cells comprising such constructs, useful for the production of recombinant human eotaxin; and to antibodies reactive with human eotaxin, useful in in vitro methods, diagnosis and/or therapy. Also provided are methods of use of the eotaxin proteins, e.g., in the recruitment of eosinophils to a particular site or in the treatment of allergic conditions. Human eotaxins can be used to identify inhibitors (e.g., antagonists) or promoters (agonists) of human eotaxin, which can be used to selectively modulate leukocyte function, in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, or in infections.

The invention further relates to recombinant nucleic acid constructs, comprising a nucleic acid which encodes a human eotaxin of the present invention, a portion thereof, or a variant; to host cells comprising such constructs, useful for the production of recombinant human eotaxin; and to antibodies reactive with human eotaxin, which are useful in in vitro methods, diagnostic and/or therapeutic applications.Also provided are methods of use of the proteins of the present invention, for example in the recruitment of eosinophils to a particular site or in the treatment of allergic conditions. Human eotaxins can be used in assays to identify inhibitors (e.g., antagonists) or promoters (agonists) of human eotaxin function. Agents which inhibit or promote eotaxin function can be administered to an individual, providing a new approach to selective modulation of leukocyte function, which is useful in a variety of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, or in the treatment of infections.
摘要:
The present invention relates to humanized immunoglobulins having binding specificity for α4β7 integrin, comprising an antigen binding region of nonhuman origin (e.g., rodent) and at least a portion of an immunoglobulin of human origin (e.g., a human framework region, a human constant region). In one embodiment, the humanized immunoglobulin can compete with murine Act-1 for binding to human α4β7 integrin. In a preferred embodiment, the antigen binding region of the humanized immunoglobulin comprises each of the complementarity determining regions of the light and heavy chains of the murine Act-1 antibody.
