Abstract:
The present invention includes compositions and methods for the expression, secretion and use of novel compositions for use as, e.g., vaccine and antigen delivery vectors, to delivery antigens to antigen presenting cells. In one embodiment, the vector is an anti-CD40 antibody, or fragments thereof, and one or more antigenic peptides linked to the anti-CD40 antibody or fragments thereof, including humanized antibodies.

Abstract:
The present invention includes methods, systems and kits for distinguishing between active and latent mycobacterium tuberculosis infection in a patient suspected of being infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the method including the steps of obtaining a patient gene expression dataset from a patient suspected of being infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis; sorting the patient gene expression dataset into one or more gene modules associated with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection; and comparing the patient gene expression dataset for each of the one or more gene modules to a gene expression dataset from a non-patient; wherein an increase or decrease in the totality of gene expression in the patient gene expression dataset for the one or more gene modules is indicative of active Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.

Abstract:
The present invention includes a method of determining a lung disease from a patient suspected of sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer or pneumonia comprising: obtaining a sample from whole blood of the patient suspected of sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer or pneumonia; detecting expression of (although not exclusive) six or more disease genes, markers, or probes selected from SEQ ID NOS.: 1 to 1446, wherein increased expression of mRNA of upregulated sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer and pneumonia markers of SEQ ID NOS.: 1 to 1446 and/or decreased expression of mRNA of downregulated sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer or pneumonia markers of SEQ ID NOS.: 1 to 1446 relative to the expression of the mRNAs from a normal sample; and determining the lung disease based on the expression level of the six or more disease markers of SEQ ID NOS.: 1 to 1446 based on a comparison of the expression level of sarcoidosis, tuberculosis, lung cancer, and pneumonia.
