  • Patent number: 9713644
    Abstract: The present invention relates to treatment of inflammatory diseases. In particular, the present invention relates to antagonistic DR3 ligands useful for treating inflammatory diseases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 1, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 25, 2017
    Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/S
    Inventors: Mette Dahl Andersen, Peder Lisby Noerby, Kristian Kjaergaard, Susanne Nedergaard Grell, Albrecht Gruhler, Jens Buchardt, Henrik Sune Andersen, Soeren Padkjaer, Jesper Kastrup, Katarina Haakansson, Lars Hornum, Birgitte Friedrichsen, Dorrit Baunsgaard
  • Patent number: 9708403
    Abstract: The present invention relates to agents and methods that are capable of augmenting NK-mediated killing of target cells by reducing inhibitory KIR signalling without reducing the binding of KIR to HLA-C. As described herein, transduction of negative signaling via KIR, upon binding of KIR to its HLA class I ligand, can involve a ligand-binding induced, conformational reorientation of the KIR molecules allowing interactions to form between adjacent KIRs in specific domains, leading to accelerated clustering. Methods and agents such as monoclonal antibodies for reducing KIR-mediated inhibition of NK cell cytotoxicity without reducing or blocking HLA-binding by, e.g., reducing or blocking dimerization of KIR, are provided.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20170073421
    Abstract: The present invention concerns human antibodies recognising the human C5a receptor. By binding to C5aR the antibodies inhibit C5a signalling, whereby the pro-inflammatory signal is inhibited. Based on the role of C5a and its receptor in stimulation of inflammation the invention further relates to therapeutic use of said human anti-C5aR antibodies and in particular in relation to treatment of immunological disorders.

  • Publication number: 20160297892
    Abstract: The present invention relates to pro-coagulant human Protein S inhibitors, such as antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof that can be administered subcutaneously as prophylactic treatment for haemophilia patients regardless of inhibitor status and without interfering with non-coagulant functions of Protein S.

  • Publication number: 20150344576
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for regulating an immune response in a subject are described. More particularly, described are human antibodies that regulate the activity of NK cells and allow a potentiation of NK cell cytotoxicity in mammalian subjects, and antibodies having antigen-binding properties similar to those of human monoclonal antibody 1-7F9 or 1-4F1. Described also are also fragments and derivatives of such antibodies, as well as pharmaceutical compositions comprising the same and their uses, particularly for use in therapy, to increase NK cell activity or cytotoxicity in subjects.
