20090208446 | DUB3 as a Cancer Therapy Target - Described is a method of modulating the activation of a Rho, Arf, Rab, Ran or Rap family protein, said method comprising administering to said sample a USP-17 modulator, for example an inhibitor of expression or activity of DUB-3. The invention enables the use of USP-17 modulators in the treatment of metastatic cancer and other conditions. | 08-20-2009 |
20090269360 | THERAPY - The invention relates to a method of inhibiting chemotherapy induced upregulation of Cathepsin S on the surface of tumour cells, the method comprising the administration of a Cathepsin S inhibitor to said cells. Also provided is a therapy comprising an anti Cathepsin S antibody, in particular an anti-Cathepsin S antibody which does not inhibit the proteolytic effect of Cathepsin S but nevertheless inhibits angiogenesis and a combination treatment comprising a Cathepsin S inhibitor and a therapeutic agent. | 10-29-2009 |
20100086551 | ANTIBODY AND USES THEREOF - A method of inhibiting angiogenesis in a group of cells, a tissue or an organ includes administering an antibody molecule or nucleic acid encoding an antibody molecule to the cells, tissue or organ, wherein the antibody molecule specifically binds cathepsin S, but does not inhibit proteolytic activity of cathepsin S. | 04-08-2010 |
20100111965 | COMBINATION THERAPY - The invention provides a method of treating neoplastic disease in a subject, said method comprising the simultaneous, sequential or separate, administration to said subject of an effective amount of (i) an inhibitor of a first EGF, e.g. HB-EGF and (ii) an inhibitor of a second EGF, e.g. AREG. Also described are novel synergistic combinations of EGF inhibitors with topoisomerase inhibitors which attenuate tumour cell growth. Further described are novel anti AREG antibodies. | 05-06-2010 |
20110150886 | ANTI-AREG/HB-EGF ANTIBODIES AND TREATMENT - Described are cross-specific antibody molecules with binding specificity for both AREG and HBEGF. The antibody molecules may be used in methods of treatment of cancer and diseases associated with angiogenesis. | 06-23-2011 |
20120294946 | MODULATOR - There is provided a method for suppressing a pro-inflammatory immune response in a cell, comprising providing to a cell sialic acid or analogs thereof, wherein the sialic acid or analogs are presented by a substrate such that a pro-inflammatory immune response in a cell is suppressed or an anti-inflammatory immune response is increased in a cell. Further, there is provided a method of treatment of inflammatory disease in a subject in need thereof. There is also provided a drug delivery device and a biomaterial which can modulate the inflammatory response in a subject. | 11-22-2012 |

20090053258 | Assays for diagnosis of tuberculosis and uses thereof - The invention relates to the identification of mycobacterial antigens which are highly immunogenic and which may be used in assays and methods for the diagnosis of tuberculosis and the discrimination between infected animals and animals previously exposed to vaccines. | 02-26-2009 |
20110020404 | DIAGNOSTIC METHOD AND KIT - The invention relates to methods for diagnosis of tuberculosis in an animal, the methods comprising determining the presence or absence of, or an immune response to a group of antigens comprising (i) the group consisting of Rv3616 antigen, MPB70 antigen, MPB83 antigen, and ESAT 6 antigen; or (ii) at least seven of the antigens of the group consisting of Rv3616 antigen, MPB70 antigen, MPB83 antigen, ESAT 6 antigen, CFP10 antigen, α crystalline 2 antigen, PE35 antigen, and PPE68 antigen. Also provided is a method for the diagnosis of the presence of tuberculosis in a reservoir animal e.g. a badger, said method comprising determining the presence or absence of, or an immune response to Rv3616 antigen, MPB70 antigen, and MPB83 antigen. Kits for carrying out the methods are also provided. | 01-27-2011 |
