  • Patent number: 9750804
    Abstract: A method for treating an inflammatory disease or an immune disorder includes administering to a subject in need of such treatment an antagonist against ENO1. The antagonist binds ENO1 and inhibits ENO1 plasminogen receptor activity. The antagonist may be an anti-human ENO1 antibody, or an scFv, Fab, or F(ab)2 fragment thereof, that specifically binds to human ENO1 (GenBank: AAH50642.1) for the treatment of an inflammatory disease or an immune disorder, which may be multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, systemic Lupus erythematosus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, allergy, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes mellitus, artherosclerosis or osteoporosis.

  • Patent number: 9382331
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an anti-human alpha-enolase (ENO1) antibody, which can bind the peptides, comprising amino-acid sequence 296FD Q D D W G A W Q K F TA309 (SEQ ID: #9) and/or 326K R I A K A V N EK S336 (SEQ ID: #10) of human ENO1 protein (GenBank: AAH50642.1), has a favorable binding activity (the binding affinity is around 2.19×10-10 mol/L) and a remarkable capability to inhibit the cell invasion and tumor metastasis of a varied of tumors. The recognized peptides and antibody of the invention are useful for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of cancers that have been reported to express cell-surface ENO1 such as including lung, breast, pancreas, liver, colorectal, prostate cancers and solid tumors.

  • Patent number: 6451533
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a Helicobacter pylori gene, fldA, a putative flavodoxin gene and whose expression is associated with mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma of the stomach (MALToma). A G insertion at position 481 of the fldA gene was more frequently observed in strains associated with MALToma than other strains. Therefore, the present invention provides a new method to identify H. pylori patient with higher risk of developing gastric MALToma.
