| 20100015654 | Negative regulation of NK cell functions by EAT-2, a sap-related adaptor expressed in innate immune cells - The present invention relates to the identification EAT-2 and ERT as novel therapeutic targets for the modulation of innate immune cell functions. More particularly the present invention describes novel methods for modulating innate immune cells-mediated immune response, useful in the treatment of cancer, infectious diseases as well as autoimmune diseases. The invention also features EAT-2 deficient and overexpressing transgenic animals, screening assays to identify agents that modulate EAT-2 and ERT activity or expression as well as methods of treatments comprising a modulation of NK cells function | 01-21-2010 |
