20100168390 | MHC MULTIMERS, METHODS FOR THEIR GENERATION, LABELING AND USE - The present invention describes novel methods to generate MHC multimers and methods to improve existing and new MHC multimers. The invention also describes improved methods for the use of MHC multimers in analysis of T-cells in samples including diagnostic and prognostic methods. Furthermore the use of MHC multimers in therapy are described, e.g. anti-tumour and anti-virus therapy, including isolation of antigen specific T-cells capable of inactivation or elimination of undesirable targeT-cells or isolation of specific T-cells capable of regulation of other immune cells. | 07-01-2010 |
20100226854 | MHC Peptide Complexes and Uses Thereof in Infectious Diseases - Novel compounds carrying ligands capable of binding to counter receptors on relevant target cells are disclosed. The compounds possess a number of advantageous features, rendering them very suitable for a wide range of applications, including use as detection systems, detection of relevant target cells as well as a number of other methods. In particular, novel MHC complexes comprising one or more MHC molecules are disclosed. The affinity and specificity of the MHC-peptide complexes are surprisingly high. The possibility of presenting to the target cells a plurality of MHC-peptide complexes makes the MHC complexes according to the present invention an extremely powerful tool e.g. in the field of therapy and diagnosis. The invention generally relates to the field of therapy, including therapeutic methods and therapeutic compositions. Also comprised by the present invention is the sample-mounted use of MHC complexes and MHC multimers. | 09-09-2010 |
20100248257 | Compiled Methods for Analysing and Sorting Samples - The present invention relates to the fields of analysis, diagnostics, prognostics, standardization, characterization and enumeration of entities such as biological cells, as well as therapeutical applications. Accordingly, the present invention in preferred aspects is directed to methods for the detection and/or analysis and/or isolation and optionally further manipulation of entities, such as cells, particles, and supra-molecular structures. | 09-30-2010 |
20110212090 | Combinatorial Analysis and Repair - A method for the repair of a unit, by specific diagnosis of the undesired state, and its appropriate repair, using said specific diagnosis as a means to repair in an appropriate way said unit. The diagnosis and repair processes may involve chemical, physical, or mechanical means. The units being diagnosed and repaired include live matter (e.g. human beings, animals, plants) as well as non-live matter (e.g. buildings, electronic equipment, polymer materials). | 09-01-2011 |
20110236411 | MHC Multimers in Tuberculosis Diagnostics, Vaccine and Therapeutics - The present invention relates to MHC-peptide complexes and uses thereof in the diagnosis of, treatment of or vaccination against a disease in an individual. More specifically the invention discloses MHC complexes comprising | 09-29-2011 |
20110318380 | MHC Multimers in Cancer Vaccines and Immune Monitoring - The present invention relates to MHC-peptide complexes and uses thereof in the diagnosis of, treatment of or vaccination against a disease in an individual. More specifically the invention discloses MHC complexes comprising cancer antigenic peptides and uses there of. | 12-29-2011 |
20120258126 | Molecular Vaccines for Infectious Disease - The present invention relates to methods for construction of pharmamers i.e. vaccine components characterized by their multimerization domain and the attached biologically active molecules, and their use in preparation of vaccines that contains the pharmamers alone or in combination with other molecules. The individual molecules of the construct can be bound to each other or the multimerization domain(s) by covalent or non-covalent bonds, directly or via linkers. The invention further relates to the use of such preparations in vaccine settings aimed to function as preventive/prophylactic or therapeutic vaccines in humans and animals. | 10-11-2012 |
