  • Patent number: 11331372
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for the identification of patients with an inflammatory or autoimmune disease that demonstrate an inadequate response to treatment with a multi-Fc therapeutic, and the determination of an optimal dose of a multi-Fc therapeutic for said patient based on the patient's circulating levels of inactivated C3b (iC3b) and/or additional complement components that may be employed as a surrogate for iC3b based on an analogous response to multi-Fc therapeutics. The present invention further provides for improvements in the use of such multi-Fc therapeutics in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

  • Patent number: 11117940
    Abstract: The current invention involves a series of fully recombinant multimerized forms of immunoglobulin Fc which thereby present polyvalent immunoglobulin Fc to immune cell receptors. The fusion proteins exist as both homodimeric and highly ordered multimeric fractions, termed stradomers. In comparison to the homodimeric fraction, purified multimeric stradomers have higher affinity and avidity for Fc?Rs with slower dissociation and are useful in the treatment and prevention of disease. The current invention demonstrates that directly linking IgG1 Fc regions to multimerization domains leads to enhanced multimerization and biological activity.

  • Patent number: 10941191
    Abstract: IVIG replacement compounds are derived from recombinant and/or biochemical creation of immunologically active biomimetic(s). These replacement compounds are then screened in vitro to assess each replacement compound's efficiency at modulating immune function. Particular replacement compounds are selected for further in vivo validation and dosage/administration optimization. Finally, the replacement compounds are used to treat a wide range of diseases, including inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
