20090123415DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT, AND PREVENTION OF VASCULAR DISORDERS USING IL-1 AUTOANTIBODIES - Methods of detecting individuals at risk for atherosclerosis and related vascular diseases involving the detection of IL-1α autoantibodies, as well as therapeutic methods to prevent or treat atherosclerosis and related vascular disease by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising IL-1α autoantibodies.05-14-2009
20090191149IL-1alpha IMMUNIZATION INDUCES AUTOANTIBODIES PROTECTIVE AGAINST ATHEROSCLEROSIS - Immunization of a mammal with IL-1α, which causes the mammal to generate IL-1α autoantibodies, can be used to reduce the risk and severity of, or to reduce progression of, an atherosclerosis-related disease in the mammal. Progression of atherosclerosis-related diseases such as peripheral ischemic heart disease, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease can be reduced using this treatment.07-30-2009
20090298096Interleukin-1 alpha ABS and methods of use - Fully human monoclonal Abs includes (i) an antigen-binding variable region that exhibits very high binding affinity for IL-1α and (ii) a constant region that is effective at both activating the complement system though C1q binding and binding to several different Fc receptors.12-03-2009
20100040574TREATMENT OF CANCER WITH ANTI-IL-1alpha ANTIBODIES - Treating a patient with anti-IL-1α antibody or anti-IL-1α immunization as a cancer treatment.02-18-2010
20100068212Targeting pathogenic monocytes - The invention is based on the discovery that interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1alpha) is expressed on the proinflammatory CD14+CD16+ monocyte subset. Importantly, since IL-1alpha appears to be almost exclusively expressed on this monocyte subset and not other leukocytes, it represents an ideal marker for targeting the CD14+CD16+ monocyte subset. The effectiveness of an agent that depletes such pathogenic cells or modulates IL-1alpha function on such cells type can be monitored by assessing CD14+CD16+ monocyte levels or functionality.03-18-2010
20110008282IL-1alpha immunization induces autoantibodies protective against atherosclerosis - Immunization of a mammal with IL-1α, which causes the mammal to generate IL-1α autoantibodies, can be used to reduce the risk and severity of, or to reduce progression of, an atherosclerosis-related disease in the mammal. Progression of atherosclerosis-related diseases such as peripheral ischemic heart disease, coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral arterial disease can be reduced using this treatment.01-13-2011
20110070229Method of selecting a monoclonal antibody for administration - Methods, compositions, and kits relating to selecting a prophylactic or therapeutic antibody less likely to induce or aggravate an anti-antibody response in a subject administered the antibody. An antibody for administration to a subject may be selected to match, or at least more closely resemble, the allotypic phenotype of the subject's endogenous antibodies.03-24-2011
20110070230Method and devices for identifying and treating a subject who has developed an anti-antibody response - Methods, compositions, and kits relating to selecting a prophylactic or therapeutic antibody less likely to induce or aggravate an anti-antibody response in a subject administered the antibody. An antibody for administration to a subject may be selected to match, or at least more closely resemble, the allotypic phenotype of the subject's endogenous antibodies.03-24-2011
20110071054Panel of monoclonal antibody containing pharmaceutical compositions - Methods, compositions, and kits relating to selecting a prophylactic or therapeutic antibody less likely to induce or aggravate an anti-antibody response in a subject administered the antibody. An antibody for administration to a subject may be selected to match, or at least more closely resemble, the allotypic phenotype of the subject's endogenous antibodies.03-24-2011
20110071276Method of modifying a monoclonal antibody - Methods, compositions, and kits relating to selecting a prophylactic or therapeutic antibody less likely to induce or aggravate an anti-antibody response in a subject administered the antibody. An antibody for administration to a subject may be selected to match, or at least more closely resemble, the allotypic phenotype of the subject's endogenous antibodies.03-24-2011
