Methods of therapy for treating a subject for an autoimmune disease and/or inflammatory disease are provided. The methods comprise administering a therapeutically effective amount of an antagonist anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to a patient in need thereof. The antagonist anti-CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof is free of significant agonist activity, but exhibits antagonist activity when the antibody binds a CD40 antigen on a human CD40- expressing cell. Antagonist activity of the anti- CD40 antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof beneficially inhibits CD40L- mediated stimulation of CD40-expressing cells, and thus inhibits survival and signaling pathways of human CD40-expressing cells that are mediated by CD40L.

Méthodes de thérapie destinées à traiter un sujet contre une maladie auto-immune et / ou inflammatoire, qui consistent à administrer une quantité thérapeutiquement efficace d'un anticorps antagoniste anti-CD40 ou d'un fragment de liaison à l'antigène dudit anticorps à un patient nécessitant un tel traitement. L'anticorps antagoniste anti-CD40 ou le fragment se liant à l'antigène dudit anticorps est exempt d'activité agoniste significative, mais présente une activité antagoniste lorsque l'anticorps se lie à un antigène CD40 sur une cellule d'expression de CD40 humaine. L'activité antagoniste de l'anticorps anti-CD40 ou du fragment de liaison à l'antigène dudit anticorps inhibe avantageusement la stimulation de cellules d'expression de CD40 médiée par CD40L, et inhibe donc la survie et les voies de signalisation des cellules d'expression de CD40 humaines médiées par CD40L.
