Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for treating a pregnancy related hypertensive disorder, such as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, using ex vivo treatment with an anti-sFlt-1 antibody and an anti-sEng antibody bound to a solid support in order to reduce blood levels of sFlt-1 and sEng. The present disclosure relates to methods, systems, devices, and apparatuses for treating pregnancy-related hypertensive disorders such as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for treating a pregnancy related hypertensive disorder, such as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, using ex vivo treatment with an anti-sEng antibody bound to a solid support in order to reduce blood levels of sEng. The present invention provides a method of treating or preventing a disorder associated with soluble Endoglin (sEng), such as a pregnancy-related hypertensive disorder, in a subject in need thereof comprising providing ex vivo to the subject anti-sEng antibodies or sEng-binding fragments thereof in an amount sufficient and for a time sufficient to decrease the subject's blood levels of sEng to treat or prevent the disorder associated with sEng in the subject.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods and apparatuses for treating a pregnancy related hypertensive disorder, such as pre-eclampsia and eclampsia, using ex vivo treatment with an anti-sFlt-1 receptor (sFlt-1) antibody bound to a solid support in order to reduce blood levels of sFlt-1. Further disclosed are the sequences of the heavy chain and light chain CDRs of the anti-sFlt-1 antibodies.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting heparanase activity and treating various conditions by administering to an animal an effective amount of an immunogen that elicits an immune response to heparanase. According to the present invention, the immunogen is heparanase or a fragment thereof and, preferably, the immunogen is an antigen presenting cell (APC), such as a dendritic cell (DC), displaying heparanase or a fragment thereof on the surface. The present invention also relates to compositions containing the immunogen.
