Dell'Accio

Francesco Dell'Accio, Kent GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100068715MARKER GENES FOR USE IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF CHONDROCYTE PHENOTYPIC STABILITY AND IN THE SCREENING OF FACTORS INFLUENCING CARTILAGE PRODUCTION - The present invention relates to a set of genes which can be used to predict the potential of a cell population to form cartilage when implanted in vivo. The set of markers is used inter alia as a quality control of cells and in screening assays to evaluate the impact of compounds and conditions on the cartilage forming ability of cells.03-18-2010

Francesco Dell'Accio, Bromley GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090117652USE OF CXCL6 CHEMOKINE IN THE PREVENTION OR REPAIR OF CARTILAGE DEFECTS - The present invention disclosed the expression of CXCL6 by cells which are able to form stable cartilage. The invention describes the use of these cells and of CXCL6 to promote cartilage (and underlying bone) formation e.g. in the repair of cartilage or osteochondral defects. The invention further describes the use of chemokines in the modulation of progenitor cell differentiation.05-07-2009
20090123927ISOLATION OF PRECURSOR CELLS AND THEIR USE FOR TISSUE REPAIR - Cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein CDMP-1 or a transforming growth factor β having at least 80% homology with CDMP-1, or a factor co-expressed and/or co-detectable therewith, is used as a marker of skeletal precursor cells from any part of a mammalian body.05-14-2009
20090162328IN VIVO ASSAY AND MOLECULAR MARKERS FOR TESTING THE PHENOTYPIC STABILITY OF CELL POPULATIONS AND SELECTED CELL POPULATIONS FOR AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANTATION - An in vivo assay to measure anchorage-independent growth and phenotypic stability of a certain cell population comprising subcutaneous or intramuscular injection in a mammal of a cell suspension of articular chondrocytes in an iso-osmotic liquid, the same suspension comprising articular chondrocytes in an amount equivalent to at least 1×1006-25-2009
20110158960ISOLATION OF PRECURSOR CELLS AND THEIR USE FOR TISSUE REPAIR - Cartilage-derived morphogenetic protein CDMP-1 or a transforming growth factor β having at least 80% homology with CDMP-1, or a factor co-expressed and/or co-detectable therewith, is used as a marker of skeletal precursor cells from any part of a mammalian body.06-30-2011

Francesco Dell'Accio, London GB

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110129415NOVEL ANTIBODY AND USE IN DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY OF ARTHROPATHIES - The present invention provides a composition comprising an antibody or fragment thereof against oxidised Collagen II (CII) in which the antibody or fragment thereof is conjugated to a pharmaceutically active moiety. The invention also provides a composition comprising an antibody or fragment thereof against oxidised Collagen II (Gil) and a detectable label. The invention further provides the use of such compositions in medicine, in particular for the treatment of an arthropathy, and in methods of diagnosis.06-02-2011
