20090185978 | Monoclonal antibody capable of binding integrin alpha 10 beta 1 - The present invention provides a monoclonal antibody or a fragment thereof binding to the extracellular I-domain of integrin alpha10beta1 and a hybridoma cell line deposited at the Deutsche Sammlung von Microorganismen und Zellkulturen GmbH under the accession number DSM ACC2583. Furthermore, the present invention also provides a monoclonal antibody or a fragment thereof binding to the extracellular I-domain of integrin alpha10beta1 produced by the hybridoma cell line deposited. Methods and uses of said antibody or a fragment thereof in identifying and selecting cells of a chondrogenic nature for treatment purposes, in particular for the identification and isolation of chondrocytes, mesenchymal progenitor cells and embryonic stem cells for tissue engineering of cartilage, or for identifying diagnostic and therapeutic tools in studying the biological role and the structural/functional relationships of the integrin alpha10beta1 with its various extracellular matrix ligands are also included. | 07-23-2009 |
20090232777 | Expansion and Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells - A cell culture system for expanding and differentiating mammalian mesenchymal stem cells to chondrocytes is provided. Said cell culture system comprises a subpopulation of isolated MSC selected for their expression of integrin alpha 10, as well as additives promoting expansion and differentiation to chondrocytes. Methods and uses of said expanded and differentiated cells with a chondrogen phenotype are also provided, as well as compositions comprising said expanded and differentiated chondrocyte cells. | 09-17-2009 |
20100055114 | USE OF INTEGRIN ALPHA 10 BINDING ANTIBODY TO MODULATE EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX (CARTILAGE) TURNOVER - The present invention relates to a novel use of alpha10, or a heterodimer thereof, for affecting cartilage extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover. Further, it relates to the use of a binding entity binding specifically to alpha10, or a heterodimer thereof, in the preparation of a medicament for treating a condition affecting ECM, such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. In particular, the invention relates to a method of treating an individual with a condition affecting ECM turnover, comprising administering to the individual an effective amount of a binding agent entity binding specifically to alpha10, or a heterodimer thereof. | 03-04-2010 |
20110033923 | MARKER FOR STEM CELLS AND ITS USE - A marker for mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) is provided, comprising an integrin alpha10 chain and/or an integrin alpha11 chain expressed on the cell surface of or intracellular in a MSC. The marker is used in methods for identification of mammalian MSC and in methods for isolation of MSC. Also included are isolated cellular populations of mammalian MSC and a cellular composition comprising the latter. Moreover, uses of said marker for isolation, modulation and identification of mammalian MSC are provided. | 02-10-2011 |
20110256061 | Binding agents to the Integrin Alpha-11 subunit, and uses thereof - The present invention relates to an antibody or antigen-binding fragment, or a variant, fusion or derivative thereof, for use in medicine, wherein the antibody or antigen-binding fragment, variant, fusion or derivative thereof has binding specificity for an integrin α11 subunit, or a heterodimer thereof. In particular, the invention relates to the use of such antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, variants, fusions or derivatives thereof, in the treatment of inflammatory disorders such as arthritic diseases (e.g. rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis). | 10-20-2011 |
20120136141 | Integrin Heterodimer And A Subunit Thereof - A recombinant or isolated integrin heterodimer comprising a novel subunit α10 in association with a subunit β is described. The integrin or the subunit α10 can be used as a marker or target of various types of cells, e.g. of chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and fibroblasts. The integrin or the subunit α10 can be used as a marker or target in different physiological or therapeutic methods. They can also be used as active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines. | 05-31-2012 |
20130137118 | INTEGRIN HETERODIMER AND A SUBUNIT THEREOF - A recombinant or isolated integrin heterodimer comprising a novel subunit α10 in association with a subunit β is described. The α10 integrin may be purified from bovine chondrocytes on a collagen-type-II affinity column. The integrin or the subunit of α10 can be used as a marker or target of all types of cells, e.g. of chondrocytes, osteoblasts, and fibroblasts. The integrin or the subunit α10 thereof can be used as a marker or target in different physiological or therapeutic methods. They can also be used as active ingredients in pharmaceutical compositions and vaccines. | 05-30-2013 |
20140099716 | MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY CAPABLE OF BINDING INTEGRIN ALPHA 10 BETA 1 - The present invention provides a monoclonal antibody or a fragment thereof binding to the extracellular I-domain of integrin alpha10beta1 and a hybridoma cell line deposited at the Deutsche Sammlung von Microorganismen and Zellkulturen GmbH under the accession number DSM ACC2583.
