Target Portfolio >> Proof-of-concept AIRMID Technology
In Humans:
  • Disease-associated autoreactive T cells are effector-memory T cells with elevated Kv1.3 expression.
  • PAP-1 and ShK-186 suppress effector memory T cell- proliferation and cytokine production without impacting naïve and central memory T cells.
In Animals:
  • ShK-186 and PAP-1 ameliorate disease in many models of autoimmune disease
  • Multiple sclerosis
    • Adoptive experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
      chronic relapsing-remitting EAE
    • Rheumatoid arthritis pristane-induced arthritis
  • Type-1 diabetes mellitus
    • experimental autoimmune diabetes mellitu
  • Contact dermatitis (and psoriasis)
    • Acute allergic
    • Contact dermatitis
  • Other effector memory-mediated T cell
    • Responses Delayed type hypersensit
Independent Confirmation:

Merck: Kv1.3 blockers suppress effector memory T cell-mediated delayed type hypersensitivity in animals. Harvard Dental School: Kv1.3 blocker ameliorated effector memory T cell-mediated experimental bone resorption associated with periodontitis. University of Marseille: Kv1.3 blocker ameliorated effector memory T cell-mediated adoptive experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and delayed-type hypersensitivity.
