The invention provides methods of treating or effecting prophylaxis of a patient having or at risk of developing symptoms of anxiety in which an effective regime of an agent that inhibits specific binding of PSD95 to an NMDA receptor is administered to a patient.
摘要:
The invention provides reagents and methods for detecting pathogen infections in human samples. This detection utilizes specific proteins to detect the presence of pathogen proteins or abnormal expression of human proteins resulting from pathogen infections. Specific methods, compositions and kits are disclosed herein for the detection of oncogenic Human papillomavirus E6 proteins in clinical samples.

摘要:
The invention provides methods for treating stroke and compositions for use in the same. The methods employ a chimeric peptide of an active peptide and an internalization peptide. The internalization peptide is a tat variant that promotes uptake of itself and a linked active peptide into a cell without substantial binding to N-type calcium channels. Use of the tat variant allows treating of stroke free of certain side effects associated with binding to N-type calcium channels. Tat variant peptides can also be linked to other active agent for use in treating other diseases.

摘要:
Inhibitors that disrupt binding between a PDZ protein and cognate ligands such as N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors that are involved in various neurological disorders are provided. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such inhibitors and their use in treating neurological diseases such as stroke and ischemia are also disclosed. Screening methods to identify additional inhibitors of specific protein ligand interactions with PDZ proteins are also described.
摘要:
The invention provides methods for detecting influenza B from its NS1 protein. The NS1 protein is present in detectable levels in clinical samples and can be detected using antibodies that are panspecific for influenza B without binding to influenza A or other viruses.
摘要:
The present application describes methods for detecting influenza A and/or influenza B and/or distinguishing between pathogenic and seasonal influenza A subtypes. Many of these preferred formats employ pan-specific antibodies (i.e., that react with all or at least multiple strains within an influenza type) to detect presence of influenza A and/or influenza B and PDZ domains in combination with panspecific antibodies to influenza A to distinguish pathogenic and seasonal influenza A subtypes.
