  • Patent number: 10752688
    Abstract: An anti-human T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3) antibody, can bind the peptides, comprising the amino-acid sequence RKGDVSL (SEQ ID NO: 9) and/or EKFNLKL (SEQ ID NO: 10) of human TIM-3 protein. The antibody can regulate immune cell activity. The antibody or binding fragment thereof is useful in diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancers that have been reported to express cell-surface TIM-3 such as lung, liver, esophageal cancer and solid tumors.

  • Patent number: 9428575
    Abstract: An anti-granulysin antibody, or an scFv or Fab fragment thereof, capable of binding to an epitope region from R64 to R113 of granulysin and capable of neutralizing an activity of granulysin. The antibody may contain a sequence selected from the sequences of SEQ ID NO:82 to SEQ ID NO:195, or the antibody may contain a sequence selected from the sequences of SEQ ID NO:39 to SEQ ID NO:76. The antibody may be a monoclonal antibody. A method for treating or preventing an unwanted immune response disorder includes administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of an anti-granulysin antibody capable of neutralizing the activity of granulysin. The unwanted immune response disorder may be SJS, TEN, or GVHD.
