  • Publication number: 20150283218
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions comprising peptide-coupled biodegradable poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) particles In particular, PLG particles are surface-functionalized to allow for coupling of peptide molecules to the surface of the particles (e.g., for use in eliciting induction of immunological tolerance).
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 3, 2015
    Publication date: October 8, 2015

  • Publication number: 20150252109
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, methods, and assays for treating an inflammatory and/or autoimmune disease, and/or transplanted tissue rejection using anti-?? TCR antibodies and antibody fragments. Anti-?? TCR antibodies are antibodies which bind to a ?? TCR. Anti-?? TCR antibodies produced by the hybridoma TOL101 MCB are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20150174155
    Abstract: The current invention involves the surprising finding that when carboxylated particles, such as carboxylated polystyrene, PLGA, or diamond particles are administered to subjects, inflammatory immune responses are ameliorated. Additionally, the present invention describes methods of treating inflammatory diseases by administering these same carboxylated particles.

  • Patent number: 8722049
    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, methods, and assays for treating an inflammatory and/or autoimmune disease, and/or transplanted tissue rejection using anti-?? TCR antibodies and antibody fragments. Anti-?? TCR antibodies are antibodies which bind to a ?? TCR. Anti-?? TCR antibodies produced by the hybridoma TOL101 MCB are also provided. Methods for treatment of an inflammatory disease, an autoimmune disease and for tissue transplant rejection using therapeutic dosing regimen of anti-?? TCR antibodies and antibody fragments and for upregulating the numbers of Treg T-cells are also provided. The present invention also provides methods of treating inflammatory and/or autoimmune disease, and/or transplanted tissue rejection using a therapeutic amount of ex vivo expanded regulatory T-cells.
