  • Publication number: 20210139505
    Abstract: The present application provides, inter alia, a compound of Formula (I): or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein Y, Ar, X1, X2, X3, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R6 are as described herein. Methods of making these compounds and methods of using these compound for treating diseases such as cancer are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20090226473
    Abstract: A novel lymphocyte receptor protein, its DNA sequence, and its role in the calcium activation pathway is described. The protein, or genetically engineered constructs encoding it, is shown to increase lymphocyte response, and to identify ligands of the protein receptor. Antibodies to the proteins of the invention are generated for diagnostic therapeutics. The protein and DNA can also be used for diagnostic purposes and for identifying agents for modulating the calcium induced activation pathway. A particular advantage of the present invention is that it provides lymphocyte activation of receptor found on all B cells, but only on a subset of T cells. The receptor can thus be targeted to specifically regulate B cell responses without affecting mature T cell activity. Such targeting specificity is always advantageous, particularly where an increase or decrease of antibody production is desired, e.g.

  • Patent number: 5523227
    Abstract: DNA and protein compositions are provided for calcium-signal modulating cyclophilin ligand which are shown to act in the calcium-dependent pathway for activation of a number of genes. The DNA composition and proteins may be used in investigating the processes associated with calcium-dependent activation of genes, as well as screening of drugs for interaction with the subject proteins for modulating cell processes, e.g. T-cell activation.
