Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of CSF-1 activity.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an ahumanized antibody molecule having specificity for antigenic determinants of IL-1beta, andwhich is made with CDRs from the murine antibody IC8 that are grafted into human frameworks. Methods for generating genes for grated sequence are also disclosed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an antibody molecule having specificity for antigenic determinants of IL-1², therapeutic uses of the antibody molecule and methods for producing said antibody molecule.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a homogeneous assay for identifying an antibo dy producing cell producing an antibody which binds to a selected antigen comprising: a) providing a population of antibody producing cells; b) incubating said population of antibody producing cells with a selected antig en and a labeled anti-antibody antibody, wherein said anti-antibody antibody is capable of distinguishing cells producing an antibody which binds to the selected antigen from those cells which do not; and c) identifying an antibo dy producing cell capable of producing an antibody which binds to the selected antigen.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an antibody molecule having specificity for antigenic determinants of IL-1², therapeutic uses of the antibody molecule and methods for producing said antibody molecule.
Abstract:
Nucleic acids are described which code for chimeric cytoplasmic signalling molecules containing at least one cytoplasmic signalling sequence derived fr om CD134 or ICOS. The nucleic acids may be expressed in cells to produce chimer ic receptors and other proteins which are able to regulate cell activation processes. Such regulated cells are of use in medicine, for example in the treatment of infectious, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
