Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to the use of inhibitors of leukotriene B4 receptor BLT2 for treating asthma. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition for treating asthma comprising BLT2 inhibitors and a method for treating asthma using BLT2 inhibitors.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to and inhibits expression or intracellular signaling of long-form BLT2 in a lung cell or immune cell. 2. The monoclonal antibody of claim 1 , wherein the monoclonal antibody is used for the treatment of asthma. 3. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the monoclonal antibody of claim 1 and a pharmaceutical carrier. 4. A kit for the treatment of asthma, the kit comprising the monoclonal antibody of claim 1 . 5. The kit of claim 4 , wherein the antibody selectively reduces the expression or intracellular signaling of long-form BLT2 to the patient while the expression or intracellular signaling of short-form BLT2 is not disrupted. 6. The kit of claim 4 , wherein the antibody specifically binds long-form BLT-2 in the region set forth by amino acids 1-31 of SEQ ID NO: 3. 7. The kit of claim 4 , wherein the antibody specifically binds long-form BLT-2 in the region set forth by amino acids 14-27 of SEQ ID NO: 3.
