  • Patent number: 11897949
    Abstract: This disclosure provides compositions and methods for controlling pain. In particular the disclosure provides a method for controlling pain comprising co-administration of an NGF antagonist and a TNF? antagonist. The NGF antagonist and the TNF? antagonist can be separate molecules or part of a multifunctional polypeptide, e.g., a multispecific binding molecule that comprises an NGF antagonist domain and a TNF? antagonist domain. This disclosure also provides multifunctional polypeptides, e.g., multispecific binding molecules, comprising an NGF antagonist domain, and a TNF? antagonist domain. The method provides improved pain control. Administration of an NGF antagonist and a TNF? antagonist as provided herein can control pain in the subject more effectively than an equivalent amount of the NGF antagonist or the TNF? antagonist administered alone.

  • Patent number: 11851485
    Abstract: Described herein are engineered anti-IL-2 antibodies with modified amino acid sequences. The engineered antibodies would confer modified receptor binding specificity to an IL-2-anti-IL2 antibody complex, inhibiting the binding of IL-2 to CD25. The engineered anti-IL-2 antibodies would facilitate expansion of subsets of effector immune cells and decrease undesirable effects caused by IL-2. Thus, the engineered anti-IL-2 antibodies would be useful in treating disease such as cancer and infection.

  • Patent number: 11774457
    Abstract: Protein biomarkers may be used to rapidly and accurately diagnose stroke. Biomarkers may be utilized in a rapid and inexpensive test that could be used at the bedside or ambulatory setting to definitively indicate the presence or absence of stroke and its severity. Such a test would quickly stratify patients in need of immediate stroke treatment from those who are not having a stroke. The test may aid emergency personnel in the decision for the most appropriate treatment plan and treatment location, thereby minimizing morbidity and mortality of stroke patients.
