Patents Assigned to Zymedi Co., Ltd.
  • Patent number: 12679903
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an antibody that specifically binds to the lysyl-tRNA synthase N-terminal domain exposed to the extracellular membrane, more specifically, it specifically binds to the lysyl-tRNA synthetase (KRS, Lysyl-tRNA synthetase)N-terminal domain exposed to the extracellular membrane having a specific CDR (complementarity determining region) sequence described herein, and relates to the use for the prevention, treatment or diagnosis of cancer, cancer metastasis, or diseases related to immune cell migration of a composition comprising an antibody or fragment thereof having high affinity and stability or the antibody and fragment thereof as an active ingredient. The method of the present invention can be usefully used to prepare an antibody having a higher affinity for the KRS N-terminus than a conventional antibody.

  • Patent number: 11965038
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel use of an antibody biding specifically to the N-terminus of lysyl-tRNA synthetase and, more particularly, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising an antibody biding specifically to an epitope including the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 117 in the N-terminal domain of lysyl-tRNA synthetase (KRS) or a functional fragment thereof as an effective ingredient for preventing and treating an immune cell migration-related disease. A KRS N-terminus-specific antibody provided by the present invention can regulate the migration of immune cells, thereby exhibiting very remarkable effects in the prevention, alleviation, and treatment of immune cell migration-related diseases.

  • Patent number: 11378572
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent for immune cell migration-caused disease and a method for screening the same and, more particularly, to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a KRS inhibitor (or expression or activity inhibitor) as an effective ingredient for preventing or treating an immune cell migration-related disease, a method for controlling the migration of immune cells by regulating a level of KRS in immune cells, a cell membrane site-specific moiety level of KRS or the migration of KRS to the cell membrane, and a method for screening a therapeutic agent for immune cell migration-caused disease, using KRS. According to the present invention, the migration of immune cells can be controlled by means of KRS, which can find very useful applications in the prevention, alleviation, and treatment of immune cell migration-related disease.
