Embodiment Construction
[0053] The present invention is based on the discovery that the CCR7 receptor is highly expressed in some lymphocytes and antigen presenting cells (APC). In said cells, CCR7 plays a major role in entry into lymphoid tissues including lymph nodes (LN), which is the basis for the occurrence and evolution of GVHD. The present inventors surprisingly found that anti-CCR7 antibodies produced a significant therapeutic effect in a mouse model of GVHD. GVHD can be inhibited without significant side effects by administering anti-CCR7 antibodies to graft recipients. In vivo models show how antibodies targeting CCR7 can prevent disease and ameliorate GVHD once it occurs, making the CCR7 receptor an interesting target for mAb therapy in both acute and chronic GVHD. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) to CCR7, that is, an antibody that recognizes an epitope in the CCR7 receptor and preferably inhibits CCR7-dependent intracellular signaling, which can kill CCR7 in vivo + Donor and recipient immune c...
