COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TREATMENT OF DISEASES AND DISORDERS ASSOCIATED WITH CYTOKINE SIGNALING INVOLVING ANTIBODIES BINDING TO IL-22 AND ANTIBODIES BINDING TO IL-22R
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide compositions and methods for the diagnosis or treatment of inflammation and autoimmune disorders, such as psoriasis.SOLUTION: There are provided compositions such as antibodies that bind to IL-22 and IL-22R for modulating IL-23 or IL-22 signaling. A method of treating an autoimmune disorder using the antibody compositions is provided, where the autoimmune disorder is not arthritis, comprising administering to a mammal an effective amount of a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an antagonist of IL-22. A method of treating inflammation is provided, where the inflammation is not arthritic inflammation but inflammatory bowel disease or psoriasis, comprising administering to a mammal an effective amount of a pharmaceutical formulation comprising an antagonist of IL-22.SELECTED DRAWING: None【課題】乾癬等の炎症および自己免疫障害を診断または処置するための組成物と方法を提供する。【解決手段】IL-23シグナル伝達またはIL-22シグナル伝達を調節するIL-22およびIL-22Rに結合する抗体等の組成物、及び前記抗体の組成を用いて、自己免疫障害を処置する方法。ここで、自己免疫障害は関節炎ではなく、IL-22のアンタゴニストを含む有効量の薬学的処方物を哺乳類に投与することを包含する、炎症を処置する方法。ここで、炎症が関節炎の炎症ではなく、炎症性腸疾患又は乾癬であり、IL-22のアンタゴニストを含む有効量の薬学的処方物を哺乳類に投与する方法。【選択図】なし
