  • Patent number: 8748404
    Abstract: A pro-inflammatory T cell response is specifically suppressed by the injection into a recipient of DNA encoding an autoantigen associated with autoimmune disease. The recipient may be further treating by co-vaccination with a DNA encoding a Th2 cytokine, particularly encoding IL4. In response to the vaccination, the proliferation of autoantigen-reactive T cells and the secretion of Th1 cytokines, including IL-2, IFN-? and IL-15, are reduced.

  • Publication number: 20130081365
    Abstract: A saddle for horses which is adapted to the body of the equine by means of a set of pads comprising a structured filling with a spongy material of fibers and a layer of a neoprene material, where such set of pads homogeneously distribute strains and temperatures which are generated on the back of them, preventing possible fatigues and chronic pains caused by the weight of the horseman during and after a physical effort.

  • Publication number: 20090098116
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an immunogen selected from the group consisting of (i) an anti-p53 mAb; (ii) a fragment of an anti-p53 mAb; (iii) a peptide based on a CDR of the heavy or light chain of an anti-p53 mAb, which peptide is capable of eliciting antibodies to p53; and (iv) a DNA molecule coding for the variable (V) region of an anti-p53 mAb in a suitable gene delivery vehicle, for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition useful for induction of anti-tumor immunity in mammals, for activating an enhanced immune response to a p53 molecule in mammals, and/or for induction of immune responses to mutated and wild-type forms of a p53 in mammals. The use of anti-p53 mAbs and novel peptides based on the CDR2 and CDR3 of the heavy chains and CDR3 of the light chains of different anti-p53 mAbs are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7378092
    Abstract: The invention relates to methods of inducing an anti-tumor immunity and/or inducing an immune responses to p53 in mammals. The methods comprise administering to a mammal an effective amount of at least one immunogen selected from the group consisting of: (i) a peptide based on a CDR of the heavy or light chain of an anti-p53 mAb, which peptide is capable of eliciting antibodies to p53; and (ii) a DNA molecule coding for the variable (V) region of an anti-p53 mAb in a suitable gene delivery vehicle. Preferably the immunogen is administered in the form of a pharmaceutical composition. Preferably the peptide is 7 to 30 amino acid residues in length and contains a sequence of the CDR2 or CDR3 of the heavy chain, or of the CDR3 of the light chain of an anti-p53 mAb.
