摘要:
A free-flowing, amorphous paroxetine hydrochloride-ethanol composition suitable as a therapeutic agent for premature ejaculation can be prepared by dissolving paroxetine free base in a hydrochloric acid-ethanol solution followed by drying. In a preferred embodiment, the amount of ethanol present in the amorphous product is in the range of 1 to 4 weight percent based on paroxetine hydrochloride. The amorphous product is stable and substantially non-hygroscopic.

摘要:
The invention is a "humanized" polynucleotide vector vaccine which uses covalent closed circular plasmid DNA, "naked DNA", to express target antigens. The vector is non-replicating in mammalian cells but is capable of extended stable expression of the target sequences in skeletal muscle and professional antigen presenting cells generating an immune response to the target antigen in immunized individuals. The polynucleotide vector is particularly useful in accommodating monomorphic and polymorphic nucleic acid sequences encoding tumor antigens via PCR technology.
摘要:
This invention relates to uses of components of plant-like metabolic pathways not including psbA or PPi phosphofructokinase and not generally operative in animals or encoded by the plastid DNA, to develop compositions that interfere with Apicomplexan growth and survival. Components of the pathways include enzymes, transit peptides and nucleotide sequences encoding the enzymes and peptides, or promoters of these nucleotide sequences to which antibodies, antisense molecules and other inhibitors are directed. Diagnostic and therapeutic reagents and vaccines are developed based on the components and their inhibitors.

Compositions and methods are described for the specific identification of NMDA receptors, and for the specific identification and manipulation of NMDA glycine co-agonist biological activity.
摘要:
A method for typing HLA class I genes. The method entails first contacting a sample DNA with first and second amplification primers, wherein the first and second primers are each at least partially located in an exonic region. Next, using the first and second primers, a target sequence is amplified by the PCR to form an amplicon of the target sequence. Finally, the amplicon is detected with a sequence-specific detection means, e.g., DNA sequencing. The invention also includes specific amplification primers, specific sequencing primers, and kits especially adapted for use with the above HLA typing method.
摘要:
Methods for providing a pathogen-free pig or pig fetus as a donor of tissue, cells and/or organs to a recipient human. Animals are free of zoonotic pathogens. When fetal tissues are used for transplantation, donor animals are free from zoonotic pathogens, pathogens able to cross the placental barrier, and tissue-specific pathogens, e.g., neurotropic pathogens. Tissues, cells and organs from pigs free of the above-listed pathogens are suitable for transplantation into humans, include fetal neuronal cells for treatment of Parkinson's disease and islet cells for treatment of islet insufficiency-related diseases.
摘要:
The invention provides hydrogel-tissue precursor cell compositions for generating new tissue on a surface, e.g., a surface of damaged or lost tissue, of a tissue structure or organ in a mammal. Liquid hydrogel-cell compositions are applied in a thin layer to the surface and allowed to solidify, thereby forming a matrix that enables the tissue precursor cells to grow and generate new tissue. The surface can be internal, e.g., the internal surface of a blood vessel, or external, e.g., skin.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of use for a novel chemokine binding protein (type-2 CBP) encoded by poxviruses and having amino acid sequence homology with the Shope fibroma virus T1 family of proteins against disease syndromes associated with acute or chronic dysregulated inflammatory responses.
