  • Patent number: 7037700
    Abstract: Reagents that regulate human ceramide kinase protein activity and reagents that bind to human ceramide kinase gene products can be used to regulate intracellular signaling and consequently cell proliferation and apoptosis. Such regulation is particularly useful for treating allergies including but not limited to asthma, autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory disease, transplant rejection, and cancer, particularly lymphocytic leukemias, and could be a useful target of vaccination enhancing adjuvants. Central and peripheral nervous system disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, also can be treated.

  • Publication number: 20050130138
    Abstract: Disclosed are novel nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of immune-related proteins. Reagents that bind to immune-related gene products can be used to treat conditions involving inflammatory processes, such as allergy, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and other chronic inflammatory diseases where an over-activation or prolongation of the activation of the immune system causes damage to tissues.
