Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090136494 | Combination therapies employing GITR binding molecules - The present invention provides combination therapies that employ a GITR binding molecule in combination with one or more additional agents. | 05-28-2009 |
20090258001 | Administration of anti-CD3 antibodies in the treatment of autoimmune diseases - A method of treating an autoimmune disease, such as, diabetes or psoriasis, by administering an anti-CD3 antibody, or anti-CD3 antibody fragment. The anti-CD3 antibody, or antibody fragment, is administered over a course of treatment wherein, during the course of treatment, the anti-CD3 antibody, or anti-CD3 antibody fragment is administered in a total amount which does not exceed 300 μg/kg when administered intravenously or, when administered other than intravenously, is administered in a total amount that does not exceed a total amount bioequivalent to 300 μg/kg of intravenous administration thereof. | 10-15-2009 |
20110034675 | Ilt3 Binding Molecules And Uses Therefor - The present invention provides binding molecules that specifically bind to ILT3, e.g., human ILT3 (hILT3), on antigen presenting cells, such as for example, monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells (DC), e.g., monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC). The binding molecules of the invention are characterized by binding to hILT3 with high affinity and downmodulating immune responses in vitro, e.g., downmodulating alloimmune responses; the production of inflammatory cytokines by dendritic cells, e.g., monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC); the upregulation of costimulatory molecules by DC, e.g., MDDC; and/or calcium flux in monocytes. In addition, the binding molecules upregulate the expression of inhibitory receptors on dendritic cells, e.g., immature dendritic cells. Surprisingly, these same binding molecules which downmodulate immune responses in vitro, are immunostimulatory in vivo. | 02-10-2011 |
20110059109 | Methods for inducing or enhancing an immune response by administering GITR-binding antibodies - The present invention provides binding molecules that specifically bind to GITR, e.g., human GITR (hGITR), on T cells and dendritic cells. Binding molecules of the invention are characterized by binding to hGITR with high affinity, in the presence of a stimulating agent, e.g., CD3, are agonistic, and abrogate the suppression of Teff cells by Treg cells. Various aspects of the invention relate to binding molecules, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, as well as nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors and host cells for making such binding molecules. Methods of using a binding molecule of the invention to detect human GITR or to modulate human GITR activity, either in vitro or in vivo, are also encompassed by the invention. | 03-10-2011 |
20120269826 | ANTI-CD3 ANTIBODY DOSING IN AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE - Provided herein are methods of administering anti-CD3 antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof to an animal. In certain embodiments, the anti-CD3 antibody or fragment thereof does not bind or has reduced binding to at least one class of Fc (gamma) receptors. In certain embodiments, the animal has an immune-related disease. | 10-25-2012 |
20130030156 | ANTI-ILT5 ANTIBODIES AND ILT5-BINDING ANTIBODY FRAGMENTS - Disclosed herein are antibodies and ILT5-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind to ILT5, e.g., human ILT5 (hILT5), and pharmaceutical compositions comprising such ILT5-binding antibodies and ILT5-binding fragments thereof. | 01-31-2013 |
20130183321 | GITR BINDING MOLECULES AND USES THEREFOR - The present invention provides binding molecules that specifically bind to GITR, e.g., human GITR (hGITR), on T cells and dendritic cells. Binding molecules of the invention are characterized by binding to hGITR with high affinity, in the presence of a stimulating agent, e.g., CD3, are agonistic, and abrogate the suppression of Teff cells by Treg cells. Various aspects of the invention relate to binding molecules, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, as well as nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors and host cells for making such binding molecules. Methods of using a binding molecule of the invention to detect human GITR or to modulate human GITR activity, either in vitro or in vivo, are also encompassed by the invention. | 07-18-2013 |
20140112883 | METHODS FOR REDUCING AN ADVERSE IMMUNE RESPONSE TO A FOREIGN ANTIGEN IN A HUMAN SUBJECT WITH ANTI-CD4 ANTIBODIES OR CD4-BINDING FRAGMENTS THEREOF OR CD4-BINDING MOLECULES - Provided herein are methods of inducing tolerance or reducing an immune response to a foreign antigen in a human subject. The methods include administering anti-CD4 antibodies or CD4-binding fragments thereof or CD4-binding molecules, and the foreign antigen to the human subject. | 04-24-2014 |
20140220002 | COMBINATION THERAPIES EMPLOYING GITR BINDING MOLECULES - The present invention provides combination therapies that employ a GITR binding molecule in combination with one or more additional agents. | 08-07-2014 |
