摘要:
The present invention relates to an intraocular reservoir implant (121, 123), characterized by a first therapeutic agent reservoir subassembly (121, 121A) including an inner core (121") including a therapeutic agent for the eye (101) covered by and substantially radially centered within a polymeric layer (121') including silicone material permeable to the therapeutic agent, and an ocular attachment means (123) affixed to the polymeric layer of the subassembly.
摘要:
Disclosed is an isolated or purified polypeptide or peptidomimetic comprising an amino acid sequence of a portion of a Smoothened (SMO) protein, wherein the portion comprises an amino acid sequence of any of the intracellular loops of the SMO protein, a functional fragment thereof, or a functional variant of either the portion or the functional fragment, wherein the functional fragment comprises at least 7 contiguous amino acids of the intracellular loops, and wherein the functional fragment or functional variant inhibits proliferation of a diseased cell, or a fatty acid derivative thereof. Related conjugates, nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, and pharmaceutical compositions are further provided. Methods of inhibiting proliferation of a diseased cell, treating or preventing cancer, treating a neoplasm or psoriasis, and inhibiting the expression of genes involved in the Hedgehog signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the Hedgehog signaling pathway, are furthermore provided by the invention.
摘要:
The invention provides for compositions, e.g., pharmaceutical compositions, comprising a T lymphocyte, or a population thereof, expressing at least one recombinant polynucleotide encoding a cytokine that enhances T lymphocyte survival during the contraction phase of an immune response. The invention further provides an isolated T lymphocyte, or population thereof, expressing at least one recombinant polynucleotide encoding the cytokine, wherein the polynucleotide comprises a non-native coding sequence encoding the cytokine. Also provided is the use of such compositions and T lymphocytes, or populations thereof, for the treatment or prevention of a medical condition e.g., cancer. A method of preparing the a T lymphocyte with enhanced T cell survival is further provided herein.
摘要:
The present invention provides certain novel compounds, compositions, and a method of treating a mammal by blocking its adenosine receptors comprising administering at least one compound of the present invention. Examples of the present inventive compounds include certain flavonoids of formulae (I) and (II), wherein R1 to R4 are as defined in the description, and M is -CH(OH)-CH(R2)- or -C(OH)= C(R2)- and R1, R2 are as defined in the description; or dihydropyridines of formula (III), wherein R2 to R6 are as defined in the description; or pyridines of formula (IV), wherein R2 to R6 are as defined in the description, or triazoloquinazolines of formula (V), wherein R1 and R2 are as defined in the description; and their derivatives, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
摘要:
We have developed DNA and viral vectors that can be used, alone or in combination, as a vaccine against one HIV clade, subtype, or recombinant form of HIV or against multiple HIV clades, subtypes, or recombinant forms. Moreover, the vectors can encode a variety of antigens, which may be obtained from one clade or from two or more different clades, and the antigens selected and/or the manner in which the vectors are formulated ( e.g ., mixed) can be manipulated to generate a protective immune response against a variety of clades ( e.g ., the clades to which a patient is most likely to be exposed; with the proportions of the components of the vaccine tailored to the extent of the patient's risk to a particular clade or clades).
摘要:
The present invention relates to attenuated, immunogenic West Nile virus chimeras built on a dengue 4 virus backbone for the production of immunogenic, live, attenuated West Nile virus vaccines.
摘要:
The present invention provides stable compounds prepared from boronic acid and lyophilized compounds thereof of formula (1) in which Z?1 and Z2¿ are moieties derived from sugar. The invention also provides methods for preparing such compounds. Lyophilizing a mixture comprising a boronic acid compound and a moiety derived from sugar produces a stable composition that readily releases the boronic acid compound upon reconstitution in aqueous media.
