摘要:
The invention relates to methods and compositions for inhibition of viral replication. In particular, termination of replication of hepatitis B virus is achieved by introducing into a target cell an antisense oligonucleotide having a sequence substantially complementary to an mRNA which is in turn complementary to a portion of the minus strand of a hepatitis viral genome, which portion encoding solely part or all of the terminal protein region of the viral polymerase.

The invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for the treatment of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, comprising an amount of a soluble active agent which interacts with at least one of the binding sites between hIL6 and pS1 and between hIL6 and hepatocytes and other HBV-permissive cells, the active agent being present in sufficient amount to competitively bind to at least one of the sites and thereby to prevent hIL6-mediated HBV infection of hepatocytes and other HBV-permissive cells.

The present invention discloses lentogenic viral strains useful in the treatment of cancer. A preferred viral strain of Newcastle disease Virus (NDV) is specifically characterized in terms of biological activities. The present invention further discloses treatment of cancer by application of a clonal NDV strain to tumors. According to an alternative preferred embodiment the use of at least one isolated viral protein or subunit or analog thereof, or an isolated polynucleotide encoding same, is used in the treatment of cancer.

The present invention discloses methods for inducing regression of a tumor in a subject by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a lentogenic strain of Newcastle disease virus (NDV). A preferred viral strain of NDV for inducing regression of a tumor in a subject is a clonal strain of NDV, the NDV HUJ. The methods of the present invention are particularly useful for inducing regression of tumors in patients unresponsive to conventional anti-cancer therapies.

The present invention relates to methods for preventing or treating toxicities associated with exposure to ionizing radiation or to chemotherapy. Particularly, the present invention relates to methods for preventing or treating toxicities associated with radiation or chemotherapy comprising administering to a subject in need of such treatment polypeptide complexes comprising an IL-6 linked to a soluble IL-6 receptor, the polypeptide complexes capable of preventing or treating toxicities, particularly xerostomia.

The present invention relates to methods for treating renal failure. Particularly, the present invention relates to methods for treating renal failure by administering to a subject complexes that include a member of the IL-6 family linked to a soluble receptor of the member of the IL-6 family, or isolated polynucleotides encoding same, the complexes capable of activating a gp130 mediated signaling pathway, thereby treating acute or chronic renal failure.

摘要:
A highly controlled and precise system, device and method for tissue and cellular alteration and treatment below or at surfaces with a laser. The present invention is characterized by ultra low levels of collateral damage as defined by physiologically relevant tests that measure tissue viability. The operation of the present invention is based on spectrally confining the interaction between laser energy and a targeted tissue including an essential element for physiologically relevant tests for monitoring tissue viability.
摘要:
A method for administering the HAV vaccine to a subject by absorption through a mucosal tissue, particularly through the mucosa of the rectum. The method of the present invention enables the HAV vaccine to be administered to the subject rectally, for example as a suppository or other rectal dosage form, and to successfully immunize the subject against HAV. Thus, the present invention overcomes problems of background art methods of administration, such as systemic administration by injection for example, which require needles, and which are difficult and expensive to perform.
