    摘要: This invention provides methods of inducing cell death with Flavivirus or Pestivirus capsid protein, such as West Nile virus (WNV) capsid protein, and functional fragments thereof. The invention also provides methods of treating patients suffering from diseases characterized by hyperproliferating cells by administering pharmaceutical compositions comprising WNV or other virus including Flavivirus or Pestivirus capsid or other protein or a nucleic acid molecule encoding the same. Methods of identifying compounds which have anti-viral and/or anti-WNV and/or anti-Flavivirus and/or anti-Pestivirus capsid or other protein activity are disclosed. The invention also provides vaccine compositions comprising capsid or other proteins, or fragments thereof, or nucleic acids encoding same, from WNV or other virus including Flavivirus or Pestivirus and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The invention also provides diagnostic methods and kits for identifying individuals exposed to WNV or other viruses including Flavivirus or Pestivirus.

    摘要: Methods of introducing genetic material into cells of an individual and compositions and kits for practicing the same are disclosed. The methods comprise the steps of contacting cells of an individual with a polynucleotide function enhancer and administering to the cells, a nucleic acid molecule that is free of retroviral particles. The nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleotide sequence that encodes a protein that comprises at least one epitope that is identical or substantially similar to an epitope of a pathogen antigen or an antigen associated with a hyperproliferative or autoimmune disease, a protein otherwise missing from the individual due to a missing, non-functional, or partially functioning gene, or a protein that produces a therapeutic effect on an individual. Methods of prophylactically and therapeutically immunizing an individual against pathogens are disclosed. Pharmaceutical compositions and kits for practicing methods of the present invention are disclosed.
