Also disclosed are methods of using these ligands. In particular, the use of these ligands for cancer therapy is described. | 03-26-2009 |
20100028354 | COMPOSITIONS MONOVALENT FOR CD28 BINDING AND METHODS OF USE - Disclosed are domain antibodies that monovalently bind CD28. Domain antibodies that are monovalent for binding of CD28 can inhibit CD28 activity. In one aspect, a domain antibody consists of or comprises a single immunoglobulin variable domain that specifically binds and antagonizes the activity of CD28, in an aspect, without substantially agonizing CD28 activity. In another aspect, the domain antibody is a human domain antibody. The disclosure further encompasses methods of antagonizing CD80 and/or CD86 interactions with CD28 in an individual and methods of treating diseases or disorders involving CD80 and/or CD86 interactions with CD28, the methods involving administering a domain antibody to the individual. | 02-04-2010 |
20100034831 | Agents that Bind a Target in Pulmonary Tissue for Targeting Respiratory Diseases - Disclosed is the use of an agent (e.g., antibody fragment, antagonist, ligand, dAb monomer) that binds a target in pulmonary tissue for the manufacture of a long action or long therapeutic window formulation for local delivery to pulmonary tissue, and methods for administering an agent that binds a target in pulmonary tissue to a subject to produce a long therapeutic window in pulmonary tissue. The formulation is for, and the method comprises, administering locally to pulmonary tissue. Also disclosed is the use of antagonists of TNFR1 for the manufacture of a formulation or medicament for treating, preventing or suppressing lung inflammation or a respiratory disease, and methods of treating such diseases. Also disclosed are the use of agents a for the manufacture of a delivery device (e.g., inhaler, intranasal delivery device) for the treatment or prevention of lung inflammation or a respiratory disease, and a delivery device for the treatment or prevention of lung inflammation or a respiratory disease that contains an agent as described herein. | 02-11-2010 |
20120114651 | METHODS FOR TARGETING PULMONARY DISEASES WITH AGENTS THAT BIND A TARGET IN PULMONARY TISSUE - Disclosed is the use of an agent (e.g., antibody fragment, antagonist, ligand, dAb monomer) that binds a target in pulmonary tissue for the manufacture of a long action or long therapeutic window formulation for local delivery to pulmonary tissue, and methods for administering an agent that binds a target in pulmonary tissue to a subject to produce a long therapeutic window in pulmonary tissue. The formulation is for, and the method comprises, administering locally to pulmonary tissue. Also disclosed is the use of antagonists of TNFR1 for the manufacture of a formulation or medicament for treating, preventing or suppressing lung inflammation or a respiratory disease, and methods of treating such diseases. Also disclosed are the use of agents a for the manufacture of a delivery device (e.g., inhaler, intranasal delivery device) for the treatment or prevention of lung inflammation or a respiratory disease, and a delivery device for the treatment or prevention of lung inflammation or a respiratory disease that contains an agent as described herein. | 05-10-2012 |
20120129778 | LIGAND THAT BIND TGF-BETA RECEPTOR RII - The disclosure provides an anti-TGFbetaRII immunoglobulin single variable domain. The disclosure also provides a polypeptide, ligand or pharmaceutical composition for treating a disease associated with TGFbeta signaling and a disease selected from the group of: tissue fibrosis, such as pulmonary fibrosis, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, liver fibrosis, including cirrhosis and chronic hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, ocular disorders, or fibrosis of the skin, including keloid of skin, and kidney such as nephritis, kidney fibrosis and nephrosclerosis, and a vascular condition, such as restenosis. | 05-24-2012 |
