Therapeutic Methods Involving Modulating Inflammasome Activation of Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells
Publication number: 20210128612Abstract: In one aspect, a method of treating a subject having or at risk of having graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) generally includes administering to the subject a plurality of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) effective to ameliorate at least one symptom or clinical sign of graft-versus-host disease compared to a suitable control subject. In another aspect, a method of treating a tumor in a subject generally includes administering to the subject an anti-tumor therapy and co-administering to the subject an inflammasome inciting agent in an amount effective to increase inflammasome activation of MDSCs sufficiently to reduce suppressor function of the MDSCs.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2020Publication date: May 6, 2021Inventors: Bruce R. Blazar, Brent Koehn, Peter J. Murray, Jenny P. Y. Ting, Robert Zeiser, Jeff S. Miller -

Patent number: 7981187Abstract: A filter element is includes a cylindrical media pack defining a central open volume and a longitudinal axis; a first end cap having a central aperture in flow communication with the central open volume; and a second, closed end cap having a central region closing an end of the media pack central, open volume. The closed end cap includes a projection extending axially outwardly therefrom and positioned at a location intersected by the longitudinal axis. An end cover for an air cleaner includes an inner side including a central projection thereon. Preferably, the central projection comprises a wall that includes an outer perimeter defining a regular polyhedron having at least five sides. An air cleaner comprises a cylindrical filter element having a first open end cap, a second closed end cap, and a cylindrical media pack extending therebetween. The first end cap defines an internal radial seal region. The second, closed end cap has a central region including a circular recessed portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: July 19, 2011Assignee: Donaldson Company, Inc.Inventors: Steven Scott Gieseke, Peter J.
