  • Patent number: 11884717
    Abstract: Described herein are methods for suppressing an immune response in a subject, e.g., a subject with an autoimmune disease, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of recombinant CD5L, CD5L homodimers and/or CD5L:p40 heterodimers, or nucleic acids encoding any of these. Also described are methods for enhancing an immune response in a subject, e.g., a subject with cancer, infection, or an immune deficiency, by administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that binds specifically to CD5L, D5L homodimers and/or CD5L:p40 heterodimers, and inhibits their binding to the IL-23 receptor, or inhibits formation of the CD5L homodimer and/or CD5L:p40 heterodimer, or inhibitory nucleic acids that target CD5L and/or p40.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11225689
    Abstract: The present invention provides for methods of identifying cell types and cell subtypes from a biological sample or population of target cells. The methods further provide for determining cell type or cell subtype signatures. The method further provides for bipolar cell subtypes and markers and cell signatures thereof.

  • Publication number: 20190263912
    Abstract: An atlas of intestinal epithelial cells, intestinal epithelial stem cells and intestinal immune cells identifies new cell populations, markers, networks, and responses to stimuli. Intestinal T cells drive intestinal epithelial cell differentiation and activity. Accordingly, disclosed are methods of modulating intestinal epithelial cell differentiation, maintenance and/or function, related methods for the treatment of disease, including IBD. Also disclosed are methods and kits for identifying cell types, their differentiation, homeostasis and activation.
