Abstract:
The present invention provides targeted delivery methods and constructs for treating inflammatory diseases and/or detecting in vivo tissue injuries in an individual. The targeted delivery approach utilizes an antibody that recognizes an epitope found to be present at sites of inflammation. The invention also provides methods of inhibiting complement-driven inflammation in the eye in an individual, comprising administering to the individual an antibody or a fragment thereor or compositions thereof, wherein the antibody or fragment thereof specifically binds to Annexin IV or phospholipid. Also provided are related methods of treating a complement-associated ocular disease or an ocular disease involving oxidative damage. Additionally, the invention provides methods of detecting complement-mediated injury in an eye tissue of an individual, comprising administering to the individual a construct or compositions thereof, wherein the construct comprises (a) an antibody or fragment thereof that specifically binds to Annexin IV or phospholipid; and (b) a detectable moiety.
Organ Preconditioning Formulation With Mitochondrial Elongating Agents
Disclosed is a nanocarrier-containing immunosuppressive agent that is targeted to C3 breakdown products, integrin, or a combination thereof, to reduce the deleterious systemic effects of the immunosuppressive agent. Also disclosed is a method for suppressing an allo-immune response in a subject, such as one that can occur after an allograft transplantation.
Compositions And Methods For Treating And Preventing Transplant-Associated Injury
Described herein are compositions and methods for treating or preventing an injury associated with transplant. Specifically, the disclosure provides a composition for treating or preventing an injury associated with transplantation, comprising (a) a targeted inhibitor molecule wherein the targeted inhibitor molecule comprises a targeting portion and an inhibitor portion, wherein the molecule inhibits complement pathways, and (b) a sub-therapeutic dose of an immunosuppressant agent. Further provided are methods of treating or preventing an injury associated with transplantation with activated complement by using the compositions.
Provided herein is a formulation to pre-treat an organ prior to transplantation, comprising a therapeutically effective amount of an immunosuppressive agent encapsulated in a micelle, liposome or polymeric nanoparticle that comprises on its surface a targeting moiety.
Targeted Nanocarriers For The Administration Of Immunosuppressive Agents
Disclosed is a nanocarrier-containing immunosuppressive agent that is targeted to C3 breakdown products, integrin, or a combination thereof, to reduce the deleterious systemic effects of the immunosuppressive agent. Also disclosed is a method for suppressing an allo-immune response in a subject, such as one that can occur after an allograft transplantation.
