Publication number: 20100092435Abstract: The present invention provides a novel approach to the modulation of the immune response, directing it towards specific antigens, away from antigens against which no response is desired. The invention is based on the use of viral immune evasion proteins, such as UL49.5, which block antigen presentation to CD8+ T cells. The viral immune evasion proteins are used for: 1) the induction of tumor-specific or virus-specific immunity in cases where a conventional immune response is absent due to antigen processing defects; 2) the induction of empty MHC class I molecules at the cell surface that can be loaded with peptides of a desired specificity; 3) the inhibition of unwanted immune responses against transplanted tissues or organs, e.g. against islets of Langerhans in type 1 diabetes or allogeneic stem cells, or against self antigens in the case of autoimmunity.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2007Publication date: April 15, 2010Inventors: Emmanuel Jacques Henri Joseph Wiertz, Danijela Koppers-Lalic, Elsa Afra Julia Maria Goulmy, Rienk Offringa, Thorbald Van Hall

Publication number: 20080293636Abstract: The invention relates to a protein construct, comprising (i) a targeting moiety that is capable of binding to a target cell, and (ii) an effector immunogenic moiety that is capable of triggering an existing, vaccine-induced or natural, immune response. The protein construct, that is preferably in the form of a heteromultimeric protein, is useful for redirecting an immune response that was pre-existing in a patient, toward an undesired target cell.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2006Publication date: November 27, 2008Applicant: Universite De Reims Champagne ArdenneInventors: Jacques Henri Max Cohen, Wael Mahmoud, Marcelle Tonye Libyh, Nathalie Godin, Annelise Gimenez, Thierry Tabary, Beatrice Donvito
