Abstract:
Changes in adaptive immune system were identified and correlated as a predictor of Aβand Aβand AD progression. T-cell, B-cell, TCR and BCR profiles were used to correlate clinical progression of AD. The CDR3 region was spectratyped, showing the clonality of the CDR3 region. This intrafamily gene fragment length profile was compared to age-matched controls, thereby indicating the existence of a neurodegenerative disease. The novel method is useful in diagnosing neurodegenerative disease, like Parkinson's disease, HIV-associated Dementia, or Alzheimer's disease. Moreover, this permits the clinical identification of patients at a very early stage of AD and/or monitoring the potential benefits of disease modifying therapeutics.
Dead Antigen Stimulated Immature Heterogenous Dendritic Cells As Therapeutics For Diseases
- Tampa FL, US Xiaoyang Lin - Tampa FL, US Yuzhu Hong - Tampa FL, US
International Classification:
A61K 39/00 A61P 25/28
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are exogenous antigen sensitized immature dendritic cells. The dendritic cell may also be dead. The exogenous antigen sensitized immature dendritic cells may be used to elicit an increased immune response. Further provided are vaccines comprising the exogenous antigen sensitized immature dendritic cells, methods, of inducing an immune response in a patient, and methods of treating a disease.
