  • Novel Ligand Involved In The Transmigration Of Leukocytes Across the Endothelium and Uses Therefor
    Publication number: 20100249383
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions involved in the inflammatory response, as well as various pathological processes. In particular, the present invention provides novel antibodies directed against novel glycans that are enriched on endothelial cell surfaces. In addition, the present invention provides methods and compositions involved in a previously unrecognized pathway of the inflammatory response and various pathological processes. In addition the present invention provides methods and compositions suitable to mediate the inflammatory response in various settings, as well as methods and compositions for the identification of other inflammatory response mediators.

  • METHODS FOR DIAGNOSING AND TREATING CANCER
    Publication number: 20100021472
    Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to molecular biology and medicine. More specifically, some embodiments include methods for treating and/or diagnosing inflammation and/or cancer using agents that inhibit the binding of a pro-inflammatory protein or protein complex (e.g., S100A8 and/or S100A9) to a carboxylated glycan expressed on a myeloid (e.g., MDSC), monocytic, dendritic, endothelial, or tumor cell.
