Abstract: A humanized antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds to the human IL-5 receptor alpha subunit (IL-5R?), which is a receptor of human interleukin-5 (IL-5); a nucleic acid encoding the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof; a vector containing the nucleic acid; and a cell transformed with the vector are disclosed. A method for producing the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof; a conjugate containing the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof; a bispecific or multispecific antibody containing the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof; and a composition thereof are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for preventing or treating an allergic disease, an inflammatory disease and/or a disease caused by an increase in eosinophils; and for diagnosis of allergic diseases, inflammatory diseases, and/or diseases caused by an increase in eosinophils.

Abstract: An IL-4R?×IL-5R? bispecific antibody that simultaneously binds to interleukin (IL)-4 receptor a (IL-4R?, CD124) and IL-5 receptor a (IL-5R?, CD125) is provided. A multispecific antibody including the bispecific antibody, a nucleic acid encoding the bispecific antibody or multispecific antibody, a vector including the nucleic acid, and cells transformed by the vector are disclosed. Additionally, a method for producing the bispecific antibody and therapeutic uses of the multispecific antibody in preventing or treating allergic diseases, inflammatory diseases, and eosinophilic diseases associated with IL-4, IL-13 and/or IL-5 are disclosed.

Abstract: An antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, which binds with a high pM-level affinity to a human IL-4 receptor alpha chain that is a human IL-4 receptor, is provided. The antibody or antigen-binding fragment has a different epitope and a different antigen dissociation rate than existing antibodies. A nucleic acid encoding the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a vector including the nucleic acid, a cell transformed with the vector, a method for producing the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a conjugate comprising the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, a composition for preventing or treating inflammatory diseases, and a composition for diagnosing inflammatory diseases are disclosed.

Abstract: Provided are vesicles derived from bacteria of the genus Lactococcus and a use thereof, and the inventors experimentally confirmed that the vesicles were significantly reduced in samples obtained from patients with diabetes, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, stroke, renal failure, Parkinson's disease and depression, compared with a normal individual, and the vesicles inhibited the secretion of inflammation mediators caused by pathogenic vesicles. Therefore, it is expected that the vesicles derived from bacteria of the genus Lactococcus can be effectively used for a method of diagnosing diabetes, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, stroke, renal failure, Parkinson's disease or depression, and a composition for preventing or treating the disease or inflammatory disease.
