| 20100017370 | T CELL EPITOPE DATABASES - The invention relates to databases of T cell epitopes, especially helper T cell epitopes, for rapid interrogation of protein sequences for the presence of T cell epitopes. The invention includes full or partial databases and data structures of T cell epitopes including epitopes identified especially by ex vivo T cell assays with test peptides and includes T cell epitopes identified by extrapolation of data from test peptides. The present invention also includes high throughput methods for determining the T cell epitope activity of peptides for subsequent inclusion in databases and data structures including methods where subsets of T cell especially regulatory T cells are removed or inhibited from T cell assays in order to maximize the sensitivity of detection of T cell epitope activity. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20090221024 | T CELL ASSAYS - The present invention relates to novel T cell assay methods, in particular where T cell responses to test antigens are increased by removal of regulatory T cells. Novel assays where the timing of incubation with antigens or other samples is varied in order to optimize detection of T cell responses are described. The invention has particular application for measurement of human T cell responses to pharmaceuticals, allergens, irritants or other substances. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20080206239 | Human Antibodies And Proteins - The present invention provides composite proteins, including antibodies, which show reduced immunogenicity. In particular, composite antibodies for use in humans are provided, in particular antibodies which have been modified to remove one or more T-cell epitopes. Methods for generating such proteins are also provided. | 08-28-2008 |
