The present invention relates generally to antibodies in the treatment of human disease and reduction of adverse events related thereto. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of IL 1RAP (Interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein) binding proteins (including anti-IL 1RAP 0 antagonist antibodies) and their use as treatment and prevention of human disease.

An antibody specifically binding to CTLA-4 or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, and a composition comprising same. Also provided are a nucleic acid molecule encoding the antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, a vector and a host cell for expressing the antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, and therapcutic and diagnostic methods and the use of the antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof.

This invention relates to crystals of the human Gremlin-1 protein, and the human Gremlin-1 protein in complex with an inhibitory antibody. The invention also relates to the structure of human Gremlin-1 (on its own, or in complex with the antibody) and uses of these structures in screening for agents which modulate Gremlin-1 activity. The invention further provides antibodies which bind an allosteric inhibitory site on Gremlin-1, together with pharmaceutical compositions and medical uses of such antibodies and agents identified by the screening methods.

The present disclosure relates to methods and compositions useful for the identification of a ryanodine receptor modulator binding site in ryanodine receptor type 2 (RyR2). The present disclosure also provides compositions useful for the analysis of the ryanodine receptor modulator binding site in RyR2 via cryo-EM. The present disclosure further provides computational methods for identifying compounds that bind to RyR2.
