Curtis, Michael Steven; Storek, Michael; Violette, Shelia Marie; Kalled, Susan L.; Fahnoe, Kelly C.; Huang, Cheng Ran; Stark, Ellen Garber; Taylor, Frederick Robbins; Caravella, Justin Andrew; Holers, Vernon Michael; Gambel, Phillip
Jan 2021
Provided herein are fusion protein constructs that can bind a complement-associated antigen, comprising a targeting moiety and a complement modulator protein, or a fragment thereof or a variant thereof. The targeting moiety is an antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof, in some examples. Further provided are methods of using the fusion protein constructs, for example, in treating complement mediation conditions.

Marker Sequences for Diagnosing and Stratifying Systemic Sclerosis Patients

Budde, Petra
Jan 2021
The present invention relates to methods for identifying markers for systemic sclerosis (also scleroderma; SSc) and to the markers identified with the aid of this method, which can differentiate between SSc and other autoimmune diseases on the one hand and between different SSc subgroups on the other hand. The invention also relates to panels, diagnostic devices and test kits which comprise these markers, and to the use and application thereof, for example for the diagnosis, prognosis and therapy control of SSc. The invention also relates to methods for screening and for validating active substances for use in SSc.

Bacterial inhibitors

Xie, Hua
Jul 2019
Peptides related to certain portions of the arginine deiminase enzyme from the bacterium Streptococcus cristatus are provided that disrupt the formation and composition of biofilms containing the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, and also modulate the virulence of P. gingivalis. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such peptides and method of using the same are disclosed.

Wischhusen, Jörg; Haake, Markus; Dummer, Reinhard; MEHLING, Matthias; SCHÄFER, Tina; SELLE, Martina
May 2019

Anti-Trail Antibodies and Methods of Use

Boico, Olga; Tzaban, Salit; Oved, Kfir; Cohen-Dotan, Assaf; Eden, Eran
May 2019
An antibody comprising an antigen recognition domain that binds specifically the extracellular domain of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) between amino acids 95-155 and/or amino acids 190-210 is disclosed. Uses thereof are also disclosed.

ANTIBODY TARGETING CELL SURFACE DEPOSITED COMPLEMENT PROTEIN C3d AND USE THEREOF

Wiestner, Adrian U.; Skarzynski, Martin W.; Lindorfer, Margaret A.; Taylor, Ronald P.; Rader, Christoph; Vire, Berengere
Feb 2019
An anti-C3d antibody or antibody fragment; method for use thereof to kill cancer cells; and related methods and compositions.

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.

Urwyler, Simon; Haake, Markus; Rudolf, Michael
Jan 2019
The present invention provides antigenic polypeptides expressed during an infection by a pathogenic organism, such as Acinetobacter and compositions comprising these polypeptides. The invention further provides compositions for use in treating, preventing or detecting a bacterial infection, in particular vaccine compositions using the antigenic polypeptides. The invention further provides antibodies directed to said antigenic polypeptides.

Marker Sequences for Diagnosing and Stratifying Systemic Sclerosis Patients

Budde, Petra; Zucht, Dieter; Lüking, Angelika; Schneider, Matthias
Nov 2015
The invention relates to a method for identifying markers for systemic sclerosis (scleroderma, SSc) and to the markers identified by means of said method, which can differentiate between SSc and other autoimmune diseases and between different SSc sub-groups. The invention also relates to panels, diagnostic means, and test kits which comprise said markers and to the use and application thereof, for example for the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy control for SSc. The invention further relates to methods for screening and validating active ingredients for use in SSc sub-groups.
