Patent

CA 2581278

The present invention provides compositions and methods of inhibiting transplant rejection in a mammal, comprising administering one or more transplant rejection inhibiting compounds to the mammal, wherein at least one compound includes an antibody that immunoreacts with the extracellular domain of the SPEX polypeptide. The present invention also provides a method of decreasing an expression of the SPEX polypeptide on a lymphocyte that expresses the SPEX polypeptide. The present invention further provides a method of identifying antibodies that immunoreact with the extracellular domain of the SPEX polypeptide and inhibit transplant rejection. The present invention still further provides method of inhibiting proliferation of pre- activated lymphocytes, a method of inhibiting an interleukin-2 (IL-2) expression by lymphocytes, and a method of inhibiting an interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptor (CD25) expression by lymphocytes, comprising contacting the lymphocytes with an agonistic antibody of SPEX receptor.

La présente invention a trait à des compositions et des procédés d'inhibition de rejet du transplant chez un mammifère, comprenant l'administration d'un ou de plusieurs composés inhibiteurs de rejet du transplant au mammifère, dans lequel au moins un composé comprend un anticorps assurant une immunoréaction avec le domaine extracellulaire du polypeptide d'expression splénique (SPEX). La présente invention a également trait à un procédé de réduction d'une expression du polypeptide SPEX sur un lymphocyte exprimant le polypeptide SPEX. La présente invention a trait en outre à un procédé d'identification d'anticorps qui assurent une immunoréaction avec le domaine extracellulaire du polypeptide SPEX et sont inhibiteurs du rejet du transplant. La présente invention a également trait à un procédé d'inhibition de la prolifération de lymphocytes préactivés, à un procédé d'inhibition de l'expression d'interleukine 2 (IL-2) par des lymphocytes, et à un procédé d'inhibition de l'expression d'un récepteur (CD25) d'interleukine 2 (IL-2) par des lymphocytes, comprenant la mise en contact des lymphocytes avec un anticorps antagoniste de récepteur de SPEX.
