摘要:
This invention relates to Hendra and Nipah immunogenic compositions and methods of use. The invention also relates to methods of distinguishing subjects vaccinated with the immunogenic compositions of the invention from those infected with Hendra and/or Nipah virus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to peptides which exhibit potent anti-retroviral activity. The peptides of the invention comprise DP178 (SEQ ID:1) peptide corresponding to amino acids 638 to 673 of the HIV-1LAI gp41 protein, and fragments, analogs and homologs of DP178. The invention further relates to the uses of such peptides as inhibitory of human and non-human retroviral, especially HIV, transmission to uninfected cells.
摘要:
The present invention relates, in general, to attenuated negative-strand RNA viruses having an impaired ability to antagonize the cellular interferon (IFN) response, and the use of such attenuated viruses in vaccine and pharmaceutical formulations. The invention also relates to the development and use of IFN-deficient systems for selection of such attenuated viruses. In particular, the invention relates to attenuated influenza viruses having modifications to the NS1 gene that diminish or eliminate the ability of the NS1 gene product to antagonize the cellular IFN response. The mutant viruses replicate in vivo but demonstrate reduced pathogenicity, and therefore are well suited for live virus vaccines, and pharmaceutical formulations.
摘要:
The invention relates to two mutant proteins of the fusion protein (F protein) of the Parainfluenza virus (PIV) currently recorded as type-5 PFV (PIV-5 or PIV5) and type-2 PIV (PIV-2 or PIV2). The present invention relates to products derived therefrom such as: nucleic acids, vectors, cells; fusion inhibitors of the antibody, aptamers, interfering RNA; myelomae, hybridomae, progenitor and stem cells. The present invention also relates to said mutant proteins and products derived therefrom used in medical applications and biotechnologies.
