Patent number: 9713644Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: May 1, 2014Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: 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: 9708403Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignees: NOVO NORDISK A/S, INNATE PHARMAInventors: Søren Berg Padkær, Peter Andreas Nicolai Reumert Wagtmann, Petrus Johannes Louis Spee, Stefan Zahn, Kristian Kjærgaard, Anders Svensson

Publication number: 20170073421Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2016Publication date: March 16, 2017Inventors: Kristian Kjaergaard, Soeren Lund, Stefan Zahn, Louise H. Zeuthen, Anker J. Hansen

Publication number: 20150344576Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2015Publication date: December 3, 2015Inventors: Alessandro Moretta, Mariella Della Chiesa, Pascale Andre, Laurent Gauthier, Francois Romagne, Peter Andreas Nicolai Reumert Wagtmann, Ivan Svendsen, Stefan Zahn, Anders Svensson, Matthias Thorolfsson, Soren Berg Padkaer, Kristian Kjaergaard, Pieter Johannes Louis Spee, Michael Wilken
