Abstract:
The technology relates in part to compositions and methods for inducing an immune response against the Preferentially Expressed Antigen of Melanoma (PRAME). Provided are methods for treating hyperproliferative diseases by inducing an immune response against PRAME antigen; the immune response may be induced by specifically targeting PRAME-expressing cells using T cell receptors directed against PRAME.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions and methods based on genetic polymorphisms that are associated with response to statin treatment (particularly for reducing the risk of venous thrombosis). For example, the present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules containing the polymorphisms, variant proteins encoded by these nucleic acid molecules, reagents for detecting the polymorphic nucleic acid molecules and variant proteins, and methods of using the nucleic acid molecules and proteins as well as methods of using reagents for their detection.
Abstract:
The technology relates in part to compositions and methods for inducing an immune response against a Bob1 antigen. Provided are methods for treating hyperproliferative diseases by inducing an immune response against a Bob1 antigen; the immune response may be induced using a Bob1 polypeptide fragment, or by specifically targeting Bob1-expressing cells using T cell receptors directed against Bob1.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to compounds, methods and compositions for treating or preventing viral infections using nucleosides analogs. Specifically, the present invention provides for the design and synthesis of acyclic fleximer nucleoside analogues having increased flexibility and ability to alter their conformation structures to provide increased antiviral activity potential with the result of inhibiting several coronaviruses.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to polypeptides and compositions thereof useful for the prevention of treatment of allergic disorders, in particular atopic asthma. More particularly, the invention relates to tolerogenic agents and compositions thereof that are useful for the prevention and treatment of hypersensitivity to allergens, in particular and/or strategies of desensitization to allergens.

Abstract:
The present invention is an inhibitor of the trypsin-like β2/β2i sites of the proteasome. The inhibitor is characterized as being a peptide-based epoxyketone or vinyl sulfone that contains an arginine or 4-aminomethylene-L-phenylalanine at the C-terminus (i.e., at the P1 position). Methods for using the inhibitor to inhibit the activity of the β2/β2i site of a proteasome and treat a proteasome-mediated disease or condition are also described.

Abstract:
The present disclosure provides efficient and precise methods and tools for use in the editing of nucleic acid. The disclosure provides a method of editing a nucleic acid comprising cutting or cleaving a nucleic acid to be edited, contacting the cut nucleic acid with a nucleic acid repair template so that the nucleic acid repair template comprises an end which matches a cut end of the nucleic acid to be edited and a sequence that is homologous to a sequence of nucleic acid to be edited.
Abstract:
The disclosure is based on the finding that compounds capable of binding to (or interacting with) chromatin binding/remodelling complexes (for example Polycomb group PRC1 and Trithorax group MLL) and/or modulation of the same can be used to modulate (for example switch on/off) ciliogenesis as may occur, for example, in the human pulmonary bronchial epithelium. Provided are compounds, compositions, methods and medicaments which may be used to treat and/or prevent diseases and/or conditions associated with aberrant or defective ciliogenesis.
