  • Publication number: 20220088131
    Abstract: In some aspects, provided herein is a method of enhancing production of interleukin-17 (IL-17), interferon gamma (IFN-?), or both by a mammalian T cell, the method comprising contacting the cell with a C5L2 inhibitor. In some aspects, provided herein is a method of enhancing Th1 and/or Th17 responses by a mammalian T cell, the method comprising contacting the cell with a C5L2 inhibitor. In some aspects, provided herein is a method of enhancing production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1?), or both by a mammalian T cell or monocyte, the method comprising contacting the cell with a C5L2 inhibitor. In some aspects, provided herein is a method of decreasing suppressive activity of a T regulatory cell, e.g., a natural regulatory T (nTreg) cell, the method comprising contacting a Treg cell, e.g., an nTreg cell, with an inhibitor of C5L2.

  • Patent number: 11101026
    Abstract: In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a computer program product for assembling a database comprising electronic data modules, which may be electronic medical records (EMRs). The present disclosure can also be used for purposes such as implementing a system in which physicians and patents can be provided with applications that they can use to confirm that various disease related events have taken place. This can be performed using active diagnosis modules (ADMs) comprising schedules of events. These ADMs and their events can also be used to populate a database which can be used for purposes such as identifying, recruiting and tracking participants in clinical trials.
