Abstract: The invention relates to the field of cancer immunotherapy by employing bicistronic inhibitory chimeric antigen receptor (iCAR)/activating chimeric antigen receptor (aCAR) constructs for use in cancer treatment therapies.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a novel secreted polypeptide, termed osteoprotegerin, which is a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily and is involved in the regulation of bone metabolism. Also disclosed are nucleic acids encoding osteoprotegerin, polypeptides, recombinant vectors and host cells for expression, antibodies which bind OPG, and pharmaceutical compositions. The polypeptides are used to treat bone diseases characterized by increased resorption such as osteoporosis.

The polypeptides are used to treat bone diseases characterized by increased resorption such as osteoporosis. Methods of treatment are described using the polypeptides in conjunction with various agents, including IL-1 inhibitors, TNF-? inhibitors, and serine protease inhibitors.

Abstract: The present invention provides novel Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist-Like (IL-1ra-L) polypeptides and nucleic acid molecules encoding the same. The invention also provides selective binding agents, vectors, host cells, and methods for producing IL-1ra-L polypeptides. The invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the diagnosis, treatment, amelioration, and/or prevention of diseases, disorders, and conditions associated with IL-1ra-L polypeptides.
