CA 2387889

The invention relates generally to the treatment and inhibition of immunological complications of the eye. Such complications include unwanted immune responses resulting in an ocular inflammatory disease, resulting from a corneal or retinal graft transplantation or resulting from ocular angiogenesis, particularly ocular neovascularization. The invention relates in particular to the inhibition, treatment, or reversal of immune-system driven rejection of grafted corneal or retinal tissue or cells in a recipient host and to the treatment or inhibition of ocular inflammatory disease or ocular neovascularization in a host. Compositions and methods disclosed herein capitalize on the discovery that immunological complications of the eye can be inhibited using a CD40:CD154 binding interruptor, either alone or in combination with another immunomodulator or immunosuppressor. An exemplary CD40:CD154 binding interruptor is an anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody, such as an antibody having the antigen-specific binding characteristics of the 5c8 monoclonal antibody.

L'invention concerne généralement le traitement et l'inhibition des complications immunologiques de l'oeil. De telles complications comprennent des réponses immunitaires non souhaitées résultant d'une maladie inflammatoire oculaire, d'une transplantation rétinienne ou cornéenne, d'une angiogénèse oculaire, notamment d'une néovascularisation oculaire. Cette invention a également trait à l'inhibition, au traitement ou à une inversion du rejet assisté par le système immunitaire de tissus ou cellules greffés rétiniens ou cornéens chez un hôte destinataire, et au traitement ou à l'inhibition d'une maladie inflammatoire oculaire ou d'une néovascularisation oculaire chez un hôte. Les compositions et méthodes décrites dans cette invention se fondent sur la découverte selon laquelle des complications immunologiques de l'oeil peuvent être inhibées au moyen d'un interrupteur de liaison CD40:CD154, utilisé seul ou en combinaison avec un autre immunomodulateur ou immunosuppresseur. Un interrupteur de liaison CD40:CD154 exemplaire est un anticorps monoclonal anti-CD154, tel qu'un anticorps possédant les caractéristiques de liaison spécifiques d'antigène de l'anticorps monoclonal 5c8.
