摘要:
Plants are disclosed which are capable of expressing, in a tissue or tissues susceptible to damage by feeding insects, an exogenous protein(s) such as fusolin or a fusolin-like protein, to reduce damage to the plant by inhibiting feeding, growth and/or development of insects. Feed baits comprising spindle bodies, spindle-like bodies or constituent protein(s) thereof which inhibit feeding, growth and/or development of insects are also disclosed.
摘要:
This invention features a therapeutic composition for the treatment of an inflammatory or immune-mediated disease condition, the therapeutic composition comprising an isolated Yatapoxvirus cytokine inhibitor protein formulated in a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, a method of modulating cytokine function in a cell in vitro, said method comprising contacting said cell with an isolated Yatapoxvirus cytokine inhibitor protein and the use of an isolated Yatapoxvirus cytokine inhibitor protein for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of an inflammatory or immune-mediated disease condition.
摘要:
Chemokine binding activity of viral TNF receptors and related proteins. The invention relates to a C-terminal domain (CTD) of viral tumour necrosis factor receptors (vTNFRs) CrmB or CrmD or CTD homologues (CTD1, CTD2 and CTD3) from poxvirus and their functional homologues, including derivatives, and fragments, for use in binding chemokines and their analogues and/or to enhance the immunomodulatory properties of TNFRs or in bloking binding of chemokines to their corresponding cell surface receptors and/or to modulate chemokine biological activity.
摘要:
The invention concerns recombinantly produced parapoxviruses which carry in their genome deletions or insertions in the form of foreign hereditary information and contain other hereditary information. The invention also concerns the production of such constructs and their use in vaccines.
摘要:
The invention relates to polynucleotides coding for the PPVO viral genome, to fragments of the polynucleotides coding for the PPVO genome and to polynucleotides coding for individual open reading frames (ORFs) of the PPVO viral genome. The invention also relates to recombinant proteins expressed from the above mentioned polynucleotides and to fragments of said recombinant proteins, and to the use of said recombinant proteins or fragments for the preparation of pharmaceutical compositions.
摘要:
Attenuated recombinant viruses containing DNA encoding a rabies virus antigen in a 'cocktail' or combination or multivalent compositions as well as methods for making and using the compositions, expression products therefrom, and antibodies generated, are disclosed and claimed. The recombinant viruses can be NYVAC or ALVAC recombinant viruses. The compositions and products therefrom and antibodies generated have several preventive, therapeutic and diagnostic uses.
