摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of inhibiting a toxin in an animal, such as a human, by administering to the animal a therapeutically effective amount of a polymer having a plurality of pendant acid functional groups which are directly attached to the polymer backbone or attached to the polymer backbone by a spacer group. The spacer group can have a length in the range from 0 to about 20 atoms. The toxin is, typically, an exotoxin secreted by a pathogenic microorganism, such as a bacterium.

Disclosed herein are methods for linking a protein or other biomolecule containing a carboxylic acid moiety to a PNA or DNA probe molecule. The methods disclosed herein involve activating the carboxylic acid moiety with an activating agent and reacting the activated carboxylic acid moiety with a PNA or DNA probe having an arylamine or aminooxyacetyl moiety. Conjugates produced by these methods are also disclosed.

Ionene polymers are effective antipathogenic agents and can be used as a surface treatment or as a pharmaceutical agent. Ionene polymers typically are persistent in an environment because they degrade slowly, however, it is sometimes desirable to have a polymer that degrades over time. Ionene polymers that have one or more hydrolyzable groups in the polymer backbone represent a type of ionene polymer that degrades with time, and the size of the resulting polymer fragments can be controlled by the placement of the hydrolyzable groups.

A method of using ionene polymers for the treatment or prevention of infections (e.g., pulmonary infections) in cystic fibrosis patients is provided. The method comprises administering to a mammal an effective amount of an ionene polymer to prophylactically or therapeutically treat infections associated with cystic fibrosis.

The disclosed invention is a threader for use with various modular tactical vest systems. The particular modular vest systems have a weaving interface with attachable storage modules. A strap on a module is attached to the threader and the threader is woven through the support web on the vest. As the threader is pulled through the support web, the module is secured to the vest. Two embodiments for attaching the strap to the threader are disclosed.
