Compounds and Methods Targeting Interleukin-19

Higgs Jr., Richard Earl; Konrad, Robert John; Nickoloff, Brian Jeffrey; Siegel II, Robert William; Mertz, Prema Maria
Nov 2020
The present invention provides compounds and methods targeting human interleukin-19, including therapeutic antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions and diagnostic applications useful in the field of immune-mediated diseases including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, psoriatic arthritis, bronchial asthma and diabetic nephropathy.

Novel Anti-Cd40 Antibodies and Use Thereof

Park, Chung Gyu; Kim, Jung Sik; Lucas, Zachariah
Sep 2020
The present invention relates to novel anti-CD40 antibodies and a use thereof and, more specifically, provided are a pharmaceutical composition for treating or preventing autoimmune diseases and a composition for inhibiting immune rejection during organ transplantation, both compositions containing, as an active ingredient, novel anti-CD40 antibodies that specifically bind to a novel epitope of CD40. Novel anti-CD40 antibodies of the present invention directly target CD40, but not CD40 ligands, and block the signaling of CD40-CD154 without stimulating platelets so as to exhibit excellent antagonistic effects, thereby being expected to be usable as a preparation effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and the inhibition of organ transplantation rejection.

Methods of Selecting Binding Reagents

Mallick, Parag; Egertson, Jarrett
Feb 2019
Methods and systems are provided herein for selecting an affinity reagent which binds a desired peptide epitope in a plurality of sequence contexts. The method relies on obtaining a peptide library, each peptide having the sequence αΧβ, wherein X is the desired peptide epitope, wherein each of a and β comprise an amino acid, using the peptide library to select an affinity reagent.

Soybean Allergy Related Epitopes

Kern, Karolin; Spiegel, Holger; Havenith, Heide; Szardenings, Michael
Nov 2018
The invention relates to a compilation comprising at least five different peptides, each peptide comprising at least one sequence element corresponding to an epitope selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO.: 1-354, wherein at least five different epitopes are represented. The invention further relates to an in vitro method for determining a patient’s immune status to soybean allergens, to a method for detecting at least one soybean allergen in a substance and to a method for determining the allergenicity of a soybean variety. Additionally, the invention relates to a kit comprising at least one composition containing a compound comprising at least five different sequence elements each corresponding to an epitope selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO.: 1-354, wherein at least five different epitopes are represented. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a peptide comprising a sequence element corresponding to an epitope for providing a molecule binding to a protein or peptide comprising the epitope.

An improved assay for the diagnosis of peanut allergy

Suer, Waltraud; Rohwer, Stefanie; BRIX, Bettina; WEIMANN, Alf
Aug 2018
A diagnostically useful carrier has a polypeptide for specifically capturing an antibody to Ara h 7 isotype 7.0201 in a sample from a subject. A method includes detecting in a sample from a subject the presence or absence of an antibody to Ara h 7 isotype 7.0201. A pharmaceutical composition includes Ara h 7 isotype 7.0201 or a variant thereof.
