Methods of treating, preventing, inhibiting, delaying the onset of, or ameliorating a neurological immunity disorder can include administering an effective amount of a compound comprising an antibody or antigen binding fragment of an antibody to a subject in need of treatment, prevention, inhibition, delay of onset, or amelioration of a neurological immunity disorder and/or nervous system injury. The antibody or the antigen binding fragment of an antibody binds specifically to CD49a.

This disclosure relates to methods for improving the therapeutic index of a chemotherapeutic drug in the treatment of patients afflicted with cancer, by reducing chemotherapy-related toxicity to a level that allows the chemotherapeutic drug to be used in humans.

Formulations and dosage regimens of an anti-αvβ6 antibody or αvβ6-binding fragment thereof are provided. These formulations find use in the treatment of e.g., fibrosis (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis), acute lung injury, and acute kidney injury.

This disclosure features methods and compositions for treating diseases of the gastrointestinal tract with an IL-12/IL-23 inhibitor.

Disclosed herein is a pharmaceutical composition comprising a T cell redirect therapeutic and a VLA-4 adhesion pathway inhibitor, and uses thereof for killing cancer cells.

Described here are methods and compositions for treating tumors and metastases that improve anti-angiogenesis therapy. By inhibiting these mechanisms in a biological system with an anti-beta one integrin composition in combination with an antiangiogenic composition, tumors and metastases may be deprived of an adequate blood supply, thereby resulting in tumor cell growth arrest and possibly regression, including tumor cell death. The present compositions comprise an anti-beta one integrin agent in combination with an anti-VEGF agent, in a pharmaceutical composition or compositions. Methods of treatment and of imaging are also described.

The present invention pertains to a cell culture medium comprising manganese as a media supplement, which was shown to control recombinant protein glycosylation and methods of using thereof. The present invention further pertains to a method of controlling or manipulating glycosylation of a recombinant protein of interest in a large scale cell culture.

Antibodies that bind to αvβ8 are provided.

Methods for developing disease-related nanobodies and related products and kits are provided. The disease-specific proteins are extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, domains or epitopes that are associated with various aspects of disease and are not present, or are present in very low quantities, in non-diseased individuals. Highly effective nanobodies capable of specifically binding to these ECM protein epitopes useful in in vivo imaging assays, the detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases as well as monitoring therapeutic progress in a patient with a disease are provided herein.

The invention provides a method and kits for inhibiting integrin α9β1 activity comprising contacting integrin α9β1 or a binding partner of integrin α9β1 with an isolated anti-integrin α9 inhibitor, wherein the integrin α9β1 activity is inhibited. In certain aspects, the present invention provides a novel intervention by targeting integrin α9β1 with a functional blocking inhibitor (e.g., peptides or antibodies) to limit brain damage following reperfusion after ischemic stroke.
