摘要:
Provided herein are engineered cell lines. In some embodiments, cells of an engineered cell line have altered expression of a gene and/or altered expression of an miRNA, wherein the altered expression results in increased or decreased production of a virus. The virus is a picomavirus, such as a poliovirus or Enterovirus 71. Also provided herein are methods for using the engineered cells to produce virus, and methods for treating a subject having or at risk of having a viral infection.

摘要:
Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for detection of enterovirus D in a sample, particularly detection of enterovirus D68. The methods include contacting a sample with at least one primer (such as a forward primer and/or a reverse primer) capable of specifically amplifying an EV-D68 viral protein 1 (VP1) nucleic acid or a portion thereof and/or a detectably labeled probe capable of specifically hybridizing to an EV-D68 VP1 nucleic acid, under conditions sufficient for specific amplification of the EV-D68 VP1 nucleic acid by the at least one primer and/or under conditions sufficient for specific hybridization of the probe to the EV-D68 nucleic acid. The amplification of the EV-D68 VP1 nucleic acid and/or the hybridization of the probe to the EV-D68 VP1 nucleic acid is detected, thereby identifying presence of EV-D68 in the sample.
摘要:
The present description relates to an inhibitory RNA molecule, comprising an oligonucleotide that selectively knocks down expression a Nanog pseudogene expressed in many human cancers, a replicating viral vector capable of encoding such inhibitory RNA molecule, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said vector, and methods of treating cancer by administration of said pharmaceutical composition.
摘要:
The invention provides a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) comprising an antigen binding domain specific for TSLPR, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular T cell signaling domain. Nucleic acids, recombinant expression vectors, host cells, populations of cells, antibodies, or antigen binding portions thereof, and pharmaceutical compositions relating to the CARs are disclosed. Methods of detecting the presence of a proliferative disorder, e.g., cancer, in a mammal and methods of treating or preventing a proliferative disorder, e.g., cancer, in a mammal are also disclosed.
摘要:
The present disclosure relates to a bio-sensor capable of measuring the total concentration of one or a plurality of ammonia or ammonium ions with the use of indophenol reagents in the presence of an ionomer. In some embodiments, the biosensor comprises a perflurinated membrane that comprises an ionomer in contact with an alkaline buffer in a vessel configured to receive a sample, such as whole blood. The disclosure also relates to a method of detecting or quantifying the ammonia or ammonium ion concentration in whole blood in a point of care biosensor without reliance on gas chromatography or any measurement that takes more than about twenty minutes.
摘要:
The invention relates to Salmonella typhi Ty21a comprising core-linked Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 O-specific polysaccharide (O-Ps) and DNA encoding O antigen biosynthesis, said DNA selected from the group consisting of: a) the DNA sequence set out in any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2 and species homologs thereof; b) DNA encoding Shigella dysenteriae serotype 1 polypeptides encoded by any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1 and 2, and species homologs thereof; and c) DNA encoding a O antigen biosynthesis gene product that hybridizes under moderately stringent conditions to the DNA of (a) or (b); and related sequences, compositions of matter, vaccines, methods of using, and methods of making.
摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to methods for inhibiting or suppressing metastasis of a tumor in a mammalian subject using a cysteamine product, e.g., cysteamine or cystamine or derivatives thereof. Also described herein is a method for treating pancreatic cancer in a mammalian subject by administering a cysteamine product described herein.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods and materials for diagnosing cancer in an individual using a tissue, blood or urine sample from the patient. Specifically, the disclosed method comprises determining the level of one or more metabolite selected from the group consisting of creatine riboside, metabolite 561+, Cortisol sulfate and N-acetylneuraminic acid. The present invention also provides a method for determining the prognosis of a cancer patient by determining the level of one or more metabolite selected from the group consisting of creatine riboside, metabolite 561+, Cortisol sulfate and N-acetylneuraminic acid. Also provided are kits for detecting cancer or determining the prognosis of a cancer patient.
