As a result of dedicated studies, the present inventors succeeded in discovering, for the first time, that fibrogenesis could be suppressed at the physiological tissue level by inhibiting sulfation at position 4 or 6 of GalNAc, which is a sugar that constitutes sugar chains. Furthermore, the present inventors conducted studies using various disease model animals, and as a result, successfully demonstrated that inhibitors of sulfation at position 4 or 6 of GalNAc had therapeutic effects on diseases caused by tissue fibrogenesis (tissue fibrogenic disorders).

The present invention provides methods for treating tumors in subjects by using a recombinant interferon (rSIFN-co), and optionally, methods for treating solid tumors, such as lung cancer, among others, with or without prior surgery, and as a first line or second line monotherapy or in combination with one or more other anti-tumor therapies. The present invention further provides non-surgical methods for eliminating tumors or reducing tumor sizes in subjects, and/or preventing postoperative tumor recurrence and/or metastases in subjects by using the recombinant interferon (rSIFN-co) which comprises a unique spatial configuration, alone or in conjunction with radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and/or one or more anti-tumor drugs such as biological agents, targeted drugs, small molecules, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and the like.

Provided are novel human-derived antibodies specifically recognizing polyomavirus polypeptides, preferably capable of binding to polyomaviruses of the type of JC virus (JCV) and/or BK virus (BKV) as well as methods related thereto. Furthermore, assays and kits related to antibodies specific for polyomaviruses, polyomavirus VP1 and or polyomavirus VP1 Virus-Like Particles (VLPs), preferably of the type of JCV and/or BKV, are disclosed. The human-derived antibodies as well as binding fragments, derivatives and variants thereof can be used in pharmaceutical and diagnostic compositions for polyomavirus targeted immunotherapy and diagnostics.

The present disclosure provides orally deliverable pharmaceutical compositions comprising DGLA and to methods of using same to treat a variety of conditions and disorders.

[Problem]

To provide a compound having a 15-PGDH inhibitory effect.

[Solution]

A compound represented by general formula (1) or a pharmacologically acceptable salt thereof.

Recombinant BCG, a preparation method therefor and an application thereof. A shuttle plasmid that can express a FimH protein on the surface of BCG is constructed, and a gene fragment that expresses the FimH protein is transformed into wild-type BCG to thereby obtain recombinant BCG. Upon verification, the recombinant BCG can express the FimH protein on the surface of BCG; therefore, the BCG can specifically bind to subjects that can selectively bind to the FimH protein. The recombinant BCG can also enhance the local innate immune effect and adaptive immune effect induced by BCG and the anti-tumor effect of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and also significantly improves the effect of BCG against bladder tumors, and is used to treat bladder tumors.

The present invention provides monoclonal antibodies that bind to the complement factor 5 (C5) protein, and methods of use thereof. In various embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to C5 protein. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing C5 activity, thus providing a means of treating or preventing a C5-related disease or disorder in humans. In some embodiments, the invention provides for an anti-C5 antibody that has improved pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties, e.g., a half-life of more than 10 days.

The present invention relates to methods and pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of T-helper type 2 (Th2)-mediated diseases. More particularly, the present invention relates to an inhibitor of the Suv39h1-HP1a silencing pathway for use in the treatment of a T-helper type 2 (Th2)-mediated disease, in particular allergic asthma.

Provided herein are compounds that inhibit the phosphorylation of MAPK and thus are useful in compositions and methods for treating cancer and inflammatory disease.
