20080226626 | IMMUNOREGULATORY ANTIBODIES AND USES THEREOF - A combination antibody therapy for treating B cell malignancies using an immunoregulatory antibody, especially an anti-B7, anti-CD23, or anti-CD40L antibody and a B cell depleting antibody, especially anti-CD19, anti-CD20, anti-CD22 or anti-CD37 antibody is provided. Preferably, the combination therapy will comprise anti-B7 and anti-CD20 antibody administration. | 09-18-2008 |
20080227198 | IMMUNOREGULATORY ANTIBODIES AND USES THEREOF - A combination antibody therapy for treating B cell malignancies using an immunoregulatory antibody, especially an anti-B7, anti-CD23, or anti-CD40L antibody and a B cell depleting antibody, especially anti-CD19, anti-CD20, anti-CD22 or anti-CD37 antibody is provided. Preferably, the combination therapy will comprise anti-B7 and anti-CD20 antibody administration. | 09-18-2008 |
20090010939 | IDENTIFICATION OF UNIQUE BINDING INTERACTIONS BETWEEN CERTAIN ANTIBODIES AND THE HUMAN B7.1 AND B7.2 CO-STIMULATORY ANTIGENS - The present invention relates to the identification of antibodies which are specific to human B7.1 antigen (CD80) and which are capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CD28 receptor and which are not capable of inhibiting the binding of B7.1 to a CTLA-4 receptor. Two of these antibodies, 16C10 and 7C10, significantly inhibit the production of IL-2, in spite of the existence of a second activating ligand B7.2 (CD86). Blocking of the primary activation signal between CD28 and B7.1 (CD80) with these antibodies while allowing the unimpaired or coincident interaction of CTLA-4 and B7.1 and/or B7.2 represents a combined antagonistic effect on positive co-stimulation with an agonistic effect on negative signalling. These antibodies may be used as specific immunosuppressants, e.g., for the treatment of autoimmune diseases and to prevent organ transplant rejection. | 01-08-2009 |

20090022658 | MODIFIED ANTIBODIES AND METHODS OF USE - Novel compounds, compositions and methods comprising modified antibodies are provided. In preferred embodiments the disclosed modified antibodies comprise antibodies having one or more of the constant region domains altered or deleted to afford beneficial physiological properties such as enhanced target localization and rapid blood clearance. The disclosed compounds are particularly useful for the treatment of neoplastic disorders in myelosuppressed patients. | 01-22-2009 |

20090221036 | RECOMBINANT ANTI-CD4 ANTIBODIES FOR HUMAN THERAPY - Chimeric antibodies specific to human CD4 antigen, DNA encoding, pharmaceutical compositions containing and use thereof as therapeutic agents are taught. These chimeric antibodies contain Old World monkey variable sequences and human constant domain sequences, preferably human gamma 1, gamma 4 or mutated forms thereof. These antibodies possess desirable therapeutic properties including low antigenicity, reduced (or absent) T cell depleting activity, good affinity to human CD4 and enhanced stability (in vivo half-life). | 09-03-2009 |
