Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides inhibitors capable of binding to a member of the inflammasome group comprised of IL-1β, IL-1 receptor type 1, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 and cathepsin B with a dissociation constant of 10-8 mol/l or smaller for the prevention and treatment of acne, specifically an antibody, an antibody fragment, an antibody-like molecule, an oligopeptide of 6 to 30 amino acid residues, a nucleic acid aptamer molecule of 10 to 75 nucleotides in length or a soluble polypeptide comprising a contiguous amino acid sequence of at least 30 amino acids comprised within the protein sequence of a member of the group comprised of IL-1β, IL-1 receptor type 1, IL-1 receptor type 2, NLRP3, ASC and Caspase-1. Similarly, an interfering RNA or an antisense modulator of gene expression of IL-1β, I L-1β receptor type 1, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 and cathepsin B are provided for the prevention or treatment of acne.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
