  • Publication number: 20210285964
    Abstract: The disclosure provides biomarker proteins, a change in the concentration or activity level of which are associated with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) or clinically meaningful treatment of aHUS with a complement inhibitor. Also provided are compositions and methods for interrogating the concentration and/or activity of one or more of the biomarker proteins in a biological fluid. The compositions and methods are useful for, among other things, evaluating risk for developing aHUS, diagnosing aHUS, determining whether a subject is experiencing the first acute presentation of aHUS, monitoring progression or abatement of aHUS, and/or monitoring response to treatment with a complement inhibitor or optimizing such treatment.

  • Patent number: 9447187
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods useful for prolonging the survival of an allograft organ in a recipient mammal. The methods include administration of an anti-CD200 antibody or a CD200-binding fragment of the antibody. The disclosure also provides biomarkers, a change in one or more of which indicates that an anti-CD200 antibody has produced a desired immunomodulatory effect in a mammal. Also featured are pharmaceutical compositions, kits, and solutions that contain at least one anti-CD200 antibody and are useful in the methods described herein.
