USE OF IL-23 AND IL-17 ANTAGONIST TO TREAT AUTOIMMUNE OCULAR INFLAMMATORY DISEASE |
摘要 |
<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide use of IL-23 and IL-17 antagonists to treat autoimmune ocular inflammatory disease. <P>SOLUTION: The invention relates to new methods and drug products for treating autoimmune ocular inflammatory disease. The methods involve administration of agents that antagonize one or both of IL-17 and IL-23 activity. The invention is based on the discoveries that (1) blocking interleukin-23 (IL-23) activity or interleukin-17 (IL-17) activity prevents induction of EAU; (2) after induction, neutralization of IL-17 activity inhibits or reverses progression of EAU, but neutralization of IL-23 activity has little to no effect; and (3) IL-17 activity is not necessary for induction of EAU. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT</p> |
