Anti I-A antibody suppresses active encephalomyelitis: treatment model for diseases linked to IR genes
To test the clinical relevance of monoclonal anti-I-A antibody in autoimmune disease, we investigated the effects of such a therapy in acute and chronic relapsing experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) by instituting treatment after the onset of paralytic signs and following the clinical course. In chronic relapsing EAE, animals treated with anti-I-As antibody had no mortality and fewer ...
متن کاملIn vivo therapy with monoclonal anti-I-A antibody suppresses immune responses to acetylcholine receptor.
A monoclonal antibody to I-A gene products of the immune response gene complex attenuates both humoral and cellular responses to acetylcholine receptor and appears to suppress clinical manifestations of experimental autoimmune myasthenia gravis. This demonstrates that use of antibodies against immune response gene products that are associated with susceptibility to disease may be feasible for t...
متن کاملH-2-LINKED IMMUNE RESPONSE (Ir) GENES
Two H-2-linked autosomal dominant immune response (Ir) genes Ir-IgG and Ir-IgA were demonstrated to be at separate loci. Ir-IgG controls the immune response to IgG (gamma2a) myeloma proteins and Ir-IgA the immune response to IgA meyloma proteins. Both genes are associated with the H-2K region specificities of the H-2 chromosome, specifically Ir-IgG with H-2(b) and Ir-IgA with H-2(a). Different ...
متن کاملA major anti-myoglobin idiotype. Influence of H-2-linked Ir genes on idiotype expression
A rabbit antiidiotypic antiserum raised against an A.SW IgG1K monoclonal anti-sperm whale myoglobin (Mb) antibody, HAL19, and extensively absorbed with normal mouse immunoglobulin and MOPC 21 (IgG1K), was found to detect a common or major anti-Mb idiotype expressed by some but not all anti-Mb monoclonal antibodies, regardless of immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass, and by 40-50% of the anti-Mb anti...
متن کاملEngineering of a novel anti-CD40L domain antibody for treatment of autoimmune diseases.
CD40-CD40L interactions play a critical role in regulating immune responses. Blockade of CD40L by Abs, such as the anti-CD40L Ab 5c8, demonstrated positive clinical effects in patients with autoimmune diseases; however, incidents of thromboembolism (TE) precluded further development of these molecules. In this study, we examined the role of the Fc domain interaction with FcγRs in modulating pla...
