Immunomodulating Polymers

View page
US Patent:
7026285, Apr 11, 2006
Filed:
May 19, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/848779
Inventors:
Arthur O. Tzianabos - Reading MA, US
Dennis L. Kasper - Charleston MA, US
Andrew B. Onderdonk - Westwood MA, US
Julia Ying Wang - Brookline MA, US
Assignee:
The Bingham and Women's Hospital, Inc. - Boston MA
International Classification:
A61K 47/36
A61K 47/42
US Classification:
514 2, 514 72, 424 9322, 4241921, 530530, 530402
Abstract:
Methods and products for inducing IL-2 secretion, inducing IL-10 secretion, activating T cells, suppressing IgG antibody response to specific antigen, promoting allograft survival, reducing postoperative surgical adhesion formation, and protecting against abscess formation associated with surgery, trauma or diseases that predispose the host to abscess formation are provided. The methods of the invention are accomplished using an immunomodulator which is a polymer having at least two repeating charge motifs separated by at least a certain minimum distance.

US Patent:
7083777, Aug 1, 2006
Filed:
Mar 31, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/540024
Inventors:
Arthur O. Tzianabos - Reading MA, US
Dennis L. Kasper - Charlestown MA, US
Andrew B. Onderdonk - Westwood MA, US
Ying Wang - Brookline MA, US
Assignee:
The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc. - Boston MA
International Classification:
A61K 38/16
A61K 38/20
US Classification:
424 9322, 4241921, 530300, 530350, 5303783, 530 33, 530402, 514 2
Abstract:
A pharmaceutical composition consisting of identical repeating units, each unit having a charge motif composed of a positively charged free amino moiety and a negatively charged moiety, wherein the positively charged free amino moiety and the negatively charged moiety of each charge motif are separated by at least one neutral amino acid, and wherein the positively charged free amino moiety of one of the charge motifs is separated by a distance of at least 8 amino acids from the positively charged amino moiety of another charge motif, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. Said pharmaceutical composition is useful for inducing IL-2, activating T cells to produce a T helper 1 cytokine profile, suppressing IgG antibody response to specific antigen, promoting allograft survival, reducing postoperative surgical adhesion formation, and/or protecting against abscess formation associated with surgery, trauma or diseases that predispose the host to abscess formation.
