Abstract: The present invention relates to combination therapies and to their use in the treatment of chronic airway disease, particularly use in the treatment of asthma. The combination therapies comprise (i) an antagonist of IL-5:IL-5R and (ii) an antagonist of IL-4:IL-4R and/or an antagonist of IL-13:IL-13R. The present invention also provides bispecific antibodies comprising an antigen binding domain that binds to IL-4R? and an antigen binding domain that binds to IL-5. The bispecific antibodies may be used for the treatment of chronic airway disease, particularly asthma.

Abstract: The present invention relates to antagonists, particularly antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof, that bind to the protein galectin-10, particularly human galectin-10. The galectin-10 antagonists disrupt the crystallization of galectin-10 and are therefore useful in methods of preventing and treating diseases and conditions wherein the pathology is linked to the formation/presence of Charcot-Leyden crystals (CLCs).

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel inhibitors of IL-33. More specifically, it relates to a fusion protein of the soluble IL-33 receptor with the soluble IL-1RAcP as inhibitor of IL-33 activity. The invention relates further to the use of the inhibitor in treatment of IL-33-related diseases such as, but not limited to, asthma, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Abstract: The invention provides a long range ordered, layered double hydroxide compound for use in modulating an immune response to an antigen, and an immune modulator composition comprising the layered double hydroxide and an interlayer anion A. The compound is [MII(1-x)MIIIx(OH)2]x+[An-x/n], in which MII is a divalent metal cation or a mixture of two or more divalent metal cations, MIII is a trivalent metal cation or a mixture of two or more trivalent meta cations, or a mixture of one or more trivalent metal cation with one or more quadravalent metal cation, x is from 2:1 to 1:4, and A is an interlayer anion having a charge n, wherein optionally some or all of the interlayer anion A may be replaced by one or biologically active agent and/or one or more antigen, and wherein A is selected from conjugate bases of acids having a pKa of ?4 or higher.

Abstract: A device is described for controlling the airflow through an airduct, the airduct having a housing, an inlet and an outlet. The device comprises a self-regulating valve having a diaphragm, the position of the diaphragm being determined by the difference between the pressure at the inlet and the pressure at the outlet. The diaphragm is rotatably suspended on a support so that, under influence of an increasing difference in pressure, the diaphragm can rotate between a minimum rotation angle and a maximum rotation angle over an intermediate rotation angle, the intermediate angle being situated between the minimum and maximum angle. The diaphragm is provided with a counterbalance and that, within the angle range between the intermediate rotation angle and the maximum rotation angle, the rotation movement of the diaphragm under influence of an increasing pressure difference is counteracted by an elastic resisting force.
