The present invention provides compounds and methods targeting human interleukin-19, including therapeutic antibodies, pharmaceutical compositions and diagnostic applications useful in the field of immune-mediated diseases including psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, psoriatic arthritis, bronchial asthma and diabetic nephropathy.

Methods to measure total IL-17 in a biological sample comprising the IL-17 and a large molecule modulator of IL-17.

Methods to measure free IL-17 in a sample comprising IL-17 and a small molecule modulator of IL-17.

The present disclosure relates generally to methods and compositions for cancer immunotherapy, and more specifically, liquid markers for predicting effectiveness of cancer therapies. The disclosure features compositions and methods that are useful for predicting the efficacy of cancer treatment (e.g., a checkpoint inhibitor immunotherapy) and, in some embodiments, administering the cancer treatment such as immunotherapy.

The present disclosure relates to anti-IL-27 antibodies, and antigen-binding portions thereof. The disclosure also relates to methods for treating or ameliorating one or more symptoms of a disease, such as cancer, by administering the antibodies or antigen-binding portion thereof. The disclosure also relates to methods for detecting IL-27 in, for example, a subject or a sample.

The present invention provides a method for providing information for diagnosis of metastasis of radiotherapy-treated lung cancer, the method comprising the steps of: (a) measuring an expression level of receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIP1) in a sample from a lung cancer patient who has undergone radiotherapy; (b) measuring an expression level of RIP1 in a normal control sample; and (c) comparing the expression levels of step (a) and step (b).

Methods and kits for screening, diagnosing, detecting or predicting a patient outcome/risk variable for a lung transplant recipient after transplant or an EVLP outcome by measuring biomarker levels of at least three biomarkers selected from IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and IL-1β optionally in combination with one or both of sTNFR1 and sTREM1 in EVLP perfusate are described. The methods involve for example, i. obtaining one or more test EVLP perfusate samples of a donor lung; ii. determining in one or more test EVLP perfusate sample of a donor lung, a polypeptide level of the at least three biomarkers selected from IL-8, IL-6, IL-10 and IL-1β and optionally one or both of sTNFR1 and sTREM1 i; and iii. a) comparing the one or more parameter values related to a level of the at least three biomarkers in the perfusate sample with control EVLP data or a cut-off level, wherein the differential level is indicative of outcome/risk of after transplant or of an EVLP outcome; or b) using the one or more parameter values related to a level of the at least three biomarkers in combination, as part of an algebraic calculation or model of outcome/risk.

Provided herein are methods for reducing risk of severe symptoms and outcomes associated with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection by measuring levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6), IL-8, IL-22, and serum ferritin in a subject. Also provided are methods for treating a subject exposed to or at elevated risk of expose to SARS-CoV-2 based on levels of IL-6, IL-8, IL-22, and ferritin in the serum of the subject.

The invention relates to method of diagnosis a subject suffering from Adult-onset Still's disease and further to determine the disease course of the subject suffering from Adult-onset Still's disease.

The disclosure relates to products and methods for treating Crohn's disease. The products relate to antibodies that inhibit native human IL-23, but do not inhibit IL-12. The disclosure also relates to methods of selecting a subject amenable to IL-23 inhibition therapy to treat Crohn's disease as well as methods of identifying a patient sub-population amenable to such treatment.
