  • Method for treating autoimmune diseases and compositions therefor
    Patent number: 8597636
    Abstract: A method of cell-based therapy for treating an autoimmune disease is disclosed. The method is directed at stimulating leukocytes and/or dendritic cells to interrupt autoimmunity in a host. The method provides a Fc? receptor-specific complex or a complex which results in the co-crosslinking of Fc?-chains for treating the leukocytes and/or dendritic cells which are in turn used to elicit an autoimmune interruption response in a subject with an autoimmune disease. The Fc? receptor-specific complex and/or complex which results in the co-crosslinking of Fc?-chains is used to treat a biological sample comprising leukocytes and/or dendritic cells from a patient, and upon reintroducing said biological sample to the patient, the pre-treated dendritic cells illicit an autoimmune interruption response in vivo.

  • Method for Treating Autoimmune Diseases With Antibodies
    Publication number: 20080050391
    Abstract: A method for treating autoimmune diseases in a mammal which method comprises administering to the mammal an effective amount of at least one antibody specific for a soluble antigen is provided. Furthermore, a novel mechanism of action has been established in accordance with the present invention for antibody-based treatment regimes for autoimmune disease, including but not limited to anti-CD44 and soluble antigen specific antibody treatment regimes.
