  • Patent number: 7078165
    Abstract: A method for modulating Nod 1 activity wherein said method comprises the steps of providing cells expressing a functional Nod 1; and bringing said cells into contact with a molecule related to compositions comprising a molecule related to MTP and use of a molecule related to MTP for modulating inflammation and/or apoptosis
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 25, 2004
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2006
    Assignee: Institut Pasteur
    Inventors: Stephen Girardin, Dana Philpott, Philippe Sansonetti, Ivo Boneca
  • Publication number: 20060084090
    Abstract: A method for identifying a compound that modulates the interaction between Nod1 and a Gram-negative bacteria comprising contacting a Nod1 expressing cell with a cagPAI-positive H. pylori in the presence of a compound, contacting a Nod1 expressing cell with a cagPAI-positive H. pylori in the absence of said compound, and detecting the activation of a pro-inflammatory factor and/or the production of a pro-inflammatory cytokine or chemokine, wherein altered activation and/or production indicates that said compound modulates the interaction between Nod1 and the Gram-negative bacteria. The method is useful for identifying compounds for regulating the signaling cascade involving Nod1 against Gram-negative bacteria that cause mucosal inflammation in animal hosts.
