Patent application number | Description | Published |
20080206318 | Therapeutic compositions that alter the immune response - The invention is therapeutic methods and compositions that alter the immunogenicity of the host. | 08-28-2008 |
20080220012 | Therapeutic Compositions that alter the immune response - The invention is therapeutic methods and compositions that alter the immunogenicity of the host. | 09-11-2008 |
20080311127 | Combination therapy for treating disease - Disclosed are methods for treating cancer comprising administering a xenotypic antibody and a chemotherapeutic drug to a patient suffering from cancer. Also disclosed is a method for inducing a host immune response in a patient against a multi-epitopic in vivo tumor antigen present in the host serum, which antigen does not elicit an effective host immune response, comprising administering to the patient a chemotherapeutic drug and a composition comprising a binding agent that specifically binds to a first epitope on the antigen and allowing the binding agent to form a binding agent/antigen pair, wherein an effective host immune response is elicited against a second epitope on the antigen. | 12-18-2008 |
20090202560 | Method for diagnosing efficacy of xenotypic antibody therapy - The invention concerns methods and compositions for intiating and/or enhancing an immune response by contacting a binding reagent with a soluble antigen, wherein the binding reagent-antigen pair generates an immune response to the antigen. | 08-13-2009 |
20090204057 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY - The present invention relates to a photodynamic therapy method and uses thereof for treating an individual in need thereof, comprising administering a photosensitizer to an individual and activating the photosensitizer with a chemiluminescent light source, and/or a light-emitting diode light source, wherein the light source is in dermal contact with the individual. The present invention also relates to a device for photodynamic therapy comprising a permeable reservoir, for containing a photosensitizer formulation for skin application, the device is adapted to deliver the photosensitizer to the individual. The present invention also relates to a device for photodynamic therapy, comprising a permeable reservoir for containing a photosensitizer formulation for skin application and a light source. The light source is a chemiluminescent light source or a light-emitting diode light source and the device is adapted to deliver the photosensitizer to the individual and to irradiate a part of an individual to activate the photosensitizer. | 08-13-2009 |
20090220493 | Reagents and methods for inducing an immune response to prostate specific antigen - The invention is an apparatus and method for the treatment of prostate cancer, and involves administering an antibody that specifically binds with prostate antigen. | 09-03-2009 |
20100262115 | NANOPARTICLES FOR CANCER SONODYNAMIC AND PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY - The present invention is directed to nanoparticles comprising a cancer therapeutic, pharmaceutical compositions comprising same, and methods for using same for drug delivery and ultrasound or light-based treatment of cancer. | 10-14-2010 |
20140170229 | POLYMERIC NANOPARTICLES FOR PHOTOSENSITIZERS - Biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles comprising an inner core formed of a photodynamic agent capable of being activated to generate cytotoxic singlet oxygen are prepared. These nanoparticles have anti-cell proliferation activity and are useful in treating both cancerous and non-cancerous conditions including actinic keratosis, psoriasis and acne vulgaris. Preferably, the photodynamic agent is a hypocrellin B derivative while the polymeric nanoparticle comprises polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid or poly(lactide-co-glycolide). Hypocrellin-comprising nanoparticles are demonstrated to be activated by light or hydrogen peroxide. | 06-19-2014 |
