Monoclonal antibodies specific for IL20-Rb, encoding nucleic acids thereof and methods of use thereof to treat bacterial-induced exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Acute exacerbation of COPD (AE-COPD) in patients are mostly due to respiratory infection and are associated with an inexorable decline in lung function, enhanced oedema as well as airway and systemic inflammation. Previous results show that treatment with anti-IL-20Rb blocking antibodies increased the bacterial clearance in control mice infected by S. pneumoniae and protected CS-exposed mice from bacterial infection, by decreasing the bacterial burden and the inflammatory infiltrate. Therefore there is an interest for generating monoclonal antibodies specific for IL-20Rb with a neutralizing activity for their use in the treatment of AE-COPD. The present invention fulfills this need by providing antibodies having specificity for IL-20Rb.

Use of an agent capable of inhibiting the activation of MAIT cells for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common form of inflammatory rheumatism involving small joints which are the seat for swelling and pain with structural damage, responsible for functional disabilities if no treatment is proposed. The inventors show that circulating MAIT cells were reduced and exhibited an activated and anti-apoptotic phenotype in RA patients compared to healthy controls. MAIT cell levels were also found to be increased in the synovial fluid as compared with the peripheral blood, suggesting that circulating MAIT cell deficiency is due to the migration of MAIT cells into the joint. Severity of arthritis induced by mBSA was reduced in mice depleted in MAIT cells. This data suggest that MAIT cells contribute to exacerbation of arthritis. Thus the present invention relates to the use of an agent capable of inhibiting the activation of MAIT cells for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis

On the basis of a pulse waveform represented by the time-series photoplethysmography signal, a feature amount including at least the interval, amplitude, and baseline of the pulse waveform is extracted for each beat (S104). On the basis of the pulse waveform, a respiratory period corresponding to each respiration of the subject is identified (S107). The respiratory period is a period including a plurality of consecutive beats. From the pulse waveform, a variation amount of the interval, a variation amount of the amplitude, and a variation amount of the baseline in an assessment segment that has been set corresponding to one or more of consecutive respiratory periods are calculated (S108).
