摘要:
A vaccine is described which provides protection against a broad spectrum of viral strains, including but not limited to influenza A strains such as H1N1, H3N2, and H5N1. Embodiments of the present invention offer a number of advantages over conventional vaccine, in that they are cheaper to synthesize, more stable, easily scalable, and amenable to further genetic manipulation. Most importantly, certain embodiments of the present invention contemplate features, including but not limited to endosomal targeting, which result in a more robust immune response.
摘要:
The present invention provides substantially pure proapoptotic dependence peptides. The peptides consist substantially of the sequence of an active dependence domain selected from the group of dependence polypeptides consisting of p75NTR, androgen receptor, DCC, huntingtin polypeptide, Machado-Joseph disease gene product, SCA1, SCA2, SCA6 and atrophin-1 polypeptide. Substantially pure proapoptotic dependence peptides include SATLDALLAALRRI (SEQ ID NO:3), Q14 (SEQ ID NO:7), SATLDALLAALGGI (SEQ ID NO:4), SATLDALLAALRGI (SEQ ID NO:5), SATLQALLAALRRI (SEQ ID NO:6), tat-GG-SATLDALLAALRRI (SEQ ID NO:37) and tat-GG-Q14 (SEQ ID NO:36).

摘要:
Systems and methods for genomic analysis are contemplated in which idiosyncratic markers or marker constellations are employed to characterize and compare genomic sequences. In especially preferred aspects, the idiosyncratic markers are predetermined SNPs and a marker profile is used in a sample record to so allow cross reference to other marker profiles of other sequences.
摘要:
Antiviral compositions and methods are contemplated that are especially effective in the treatment and prevention of influenza A viruses. Also presented are cellular assays to identify small molecule compounds having antiviral properties, particularly as it relates to detection of influenza A RNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity in a mammalian cell independent of other influenza A components. Preferred assays allow for identification of viral replication inhibitors that do not disrupt normal cellular activity.

This invention provides a novel screening system for identifying p53 mimetics/agonists. Also provided are small organic molecules that act as effective p53 mimetics/agonists.
摘要:
The invention generally relates to the prevention and/or treatment of cancer, and, more specifically, to the treatment of tumors, including solid tumors and their metastases, without radiation or standard chemotherapeutic agents. In one embodiment, the invention involves a method comprising: a) providing a subject with tumor cells, b) removing at least a portion of said tumor cells from said subject to create removed cells, c) treating at least a portion of said removed cells ex vivo, using stimulating agents, including thapsigargin and/or thapsigargin-related compounds, so as to create treated tumor cells; and d) introducing said treated tumor cells (or fragments thereof) in vivo into the same subject to generate anticancer therapeutic effects.
