Pd-1 antagonists and methods for treating infectious disease

InactiveUS20110159023A1Rapid induction of protectionRobust effector responseAntibacterial agentsOrganic active ingredientsDiseaseDendritic cell
Methods and compositions for treating an infection or disease that results from (1) failure to elicit rapid T cell mediated responses, (2) induction of T cell exhaustion, T cell anergy or both, or (3) failure to activate monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and / or other APCs, for example, as required to kill intracellular pathogens. The method and compositions solve the problem of undesired T cell inhibition by binding to and blocking PD-1 to prevent or reduce inhibitory signal transduction, or by binding to ligands of PD-1 such as PD-L1, thereby preventing (in whole or in part) the ligand from binding to PD-1 to deliver an inhibitory signal. The immune response can be modulated by providing antagonists which bind with different affinity (i.e., more or less as required), by varying the dosage of agent which is administered, by intermittent dosing over a regime, and combinations thereof, that provides for dissociation of agent from the molecule to which it is bound prior to being administered again (similar to what occurs with antigen elicitation using priming and boosting). In some cases it may be particularly desirable to stimulate the immune system, then remove the stimulation.

Methods and compositions for treating secondary tissue damage and other inflammatory conditions and disorders

Conjugates containing as a ligand a chemokine receptor targeting agents, such as chemokines, and a targeted agent, such as a toxin are provided. These conjugates are used to treat inflammatory responses associated with activation, proliferation and migration of immune effector cells, including leukocyte cell types, neutrophiles, macrophages, and eosinophils. The conjugates provided herein are used to lessen or inhibit these processes to prevent or at least lessen the resulting secondary effects. In particular, the conjugates are used to target toxins to receptors on secondary tissue damage-promoting cells. The ligand moiety can be selected to deliver the cell toxin to such secondary tissue damage-promoting cells as mononuclear phagocytes, leukocytes, natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and T and B lymphocytes, thereby suppressing the proliferation, migration, or physiological activity of such cells. Among preferred conjugates are fusion proteins having a chemokine, or a biologically active fragment thereof, as the ligand moiety linked to a cell toxin via a peptide linker of from 2 to about 60 amino acid residues.

The invention discloses a human interleukin II mutant and an application of the human interleukin II mutant in preparation of medicines. Mutation happens to a joint of an alpha acceptor and / or a beta acceptor and an amino acid sequence of human interleukin II protobiont, and the affinity of the human interleukin II to the alpha acceptor is reduced, thus the function of inducing regulatory T cells is reduced, the side effect that pulmonary edema can be caused can be reduced, the affinity to the beta acceptor is enhanced, and the attributes of the human interleukin II for natural killer cell immune activity are retained. The human interleukin II mutant can be used for stimulating an immune system and the function of inhibiting tumor growth is enhanced, thereby improving the clinical curative effect and application range.
