摘要:
Microparticles with adsorbed polypeptide-containing molecules formed without the use of surfactant, methods of making such microparticle compositions, and uses thereof, are disclosed. The microparticles comprise a polymer, such as a poly(α-hydroxy acid), a polyhydroxy butyric acid, a polycaprolactone, a polyorthoester, a polyanhydride, and the like. Preferred polymers are poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolides), more preferably those having a lactide/glycolide molar ratio ranging from 40:60 to 60:40 and having a molecular weight ranging from 20,000 Daltons to 70,000 Daltons. Preferred polypeptide-containing molecules are bacterial and viral antigens (including HIV antigens, meningitis B antigens, streptococcus B antigens, and Influenza A hemagglutinin antigens).
摘要:
Hepatitis A virus-specific primers and probes derived from conserved regions of the hepatitis A virus genome are disclosed. Also disclosed are nucleic acid-based assays using the capture oligonucleotides, primers and probes.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polynucleotides encoding immunogenic HIV polypeptides. Uses of the polynucleotides in applications including immunization, generation of packaging cell lines, and production of HIV polypeptides are also described. Polynucleotides encoding antigenic HIV polypeptides are described, as are uses of these polynucleotides and polypeptide products therefrom, including formulations of immunogenic compositions and uses thereof.
摘要:
Antibacterial compounds of formula (I) are provided: As well as stereoisomers, pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters, and prodrugs thereof; pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds; methods of treating bacterial infections by the administration of such compounds; and processes for the preparation of the compounds.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a gene that can be included in immunogenic compositions specific for pathogenic E. coli strains. The gene is from uropathogenic strains but is absent from non-pathogenic strains, and its encoded protein has cellular locations which render it accessible to the immune system.
摘要:
The invention provides proteins from Neisseria mcningitidis, including the amino acid sequences and the corresponding nucleotide sequences. The proteins are predicted to be useful antigens for vaccines and/or diagnostics.
摘要:
The invention provides, inter alia, models of bone metastasis, methods for identifying agents that modulate skeletal related events and metastasis, methods for modulating skeletal related events and metastases, and methods for detecting skeletal related events and metastases. The methods and models generally comprise co-culturing cancer cells and host cells and comparing biological markers from such co-cultured cells to control cells.
