Abstract: A new family of immunoreceptor molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily, (LIR) polypeptides is described. Disclosed are sequences encoding LIR family members and their deduced amino acid sequences, polypeptides encoded by DNA that hybridizes to defined nucleotide sequences, processes for producing polypeptides of the LIR family, and specific antibodies directed against LIR polypeptides. LIR family members can be used to treat autoimmune diseases and disease states associated with suppressed immune function.

Abstract: Flt3-ligand can be used to generate large numbers of dendritic cells from hematopoietic progenitor and stem cells. Flt3-ligand can be used to augment immune responses in vivo, and expand dendritic cells ex vivo. Such dendritic cells can then be used to present tumor, viral or other antigens to naive T cells, can be useful as vaccine adjuvants. When flt3-L is used and/or administered in combination with other reactive agents, e.g. CD40 binding proteins and 4-1BBL or antibodies reactive with 4-1BB, the combination further enhances immune responses and the effectiveness of vaccine adjuvants.

Abstract: The present invention provides Tek antagonists and methods of inhibiting angiogenesis in a mammal by administering Tek antagonists. The methods are particularly useful in treating diseases or conditions mediated by angiogenesis, such as solid tumors and diseases or conditions characterized by ocular neovascularization.

Abstract: The immune response to an antigen is enhanced through increasing the concentration of dendritic cells at a targeted site, which site may be the site of antigen contact, or may be the site of antigen presentation to T cells. Dendritic cells are attracted to the targeted site by a localization factor, which factor may be chemokine, cytokine, somatostatin receptor agonists, and the like. The methods may further be practised in conjunction with the expansion of functional dendritic cells in vivo, for example through administration of Flt3-L, GM-CSF, and the like. Also included is the use of maturation factors following antigen acquisition by the dendritic cells.
