Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Acute exacerbation of COPD (AE-COPD) in patients are mostly due to respiratory infection and are associated with an inexorable decline in lung function, enhanced oedema as well as airway and systemic inflammation. Previous results show that treatment with anti-IL-20Rb blocking antibodies increased the bacterial clearance in control mice infected by S. pneumoniae and protected CS-exposed mice from bacterial infection, by decreasing the bacterial burden and the inflammatory infiltrate. Therefore there is an interest for generating monoclonal antibodies specific for IL-20Rb with a neutralizing activity for their use in the treatment of AE-COPD. The present invention fulfills this need by providing antibodies having specificity for IL-20Rb.

Abstract: In ovarian carcinoma, Müllerian Inhibiting Substance (MIS) type II receptor (MISRII) and the MIS/MISRII signaling pathway are potential therapeutic targets. Conversely, the role of the three MIS type I receptors (MISRI; ALK2, ALK3 and ALK6) in this cancer needs to be clarified. Using four ovarian cancer cell lines and ovarian cancer cells isolated from patients' tumor ascites, the inventors found that ALK2 and ALK3 are the two main MISRIs involved in MIS signaling at low and high MIS concentrations, respectively. Moreover, high MIS concentrations were associated with apoptosis and decreased clonogenic survival, whereas low MIS concentrations improved cancer cell viability. Finally, the inventors showed that anti-MIS antibody B10 inhibited MIS pro-survival effect. These last results open the way to an innovative therapeutic approach to suppress MIS proliferative effect, instead of administering high doses of MIS to induce cancer cell apoptosis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that bind to the CD160-TM isoform. The inventors developed new monoclonal antibodies which bind to the CD160-TM isoform but dot not bind to the CD160 GPI-anchored isoform not to the CD160 soluble isoform. In particular, the antibodies of the present invention are suitable for amplifying NK cell activation and therefore cytotoxic functions NK cells.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to human monoclonal antibodies against orexin receptor type 1 (OX1R, hyprocretin 1) and uses thereof for the treatment of cancer. The antibodies are characterized by their CDRs: NYYMN, YISGSSRNIYYADFVKG, SNYDGMDV (Heavy chain) and AGTSSDVGGSNYVS, PGKAP, SSYTYYSTRV (Light Chain)) or the CDRS having at least 50% or 70% identity with the above listed sequences.
