Systems and methods for providing parental controls in a cloud-based media guidance application may provide users with compiled listings of the user's content and parental controls for accessing that and other content based on the user equipment devices from which the content access request is received. A user may identify remote storage providers at which user content is stored, and may provide criteria for limiting or preauthorizing access to selected content by one or more user equipment devices. In response to receiving a user request, a listing of content stored with the remote storage providers may be compiled and presented in a media guidance application. A selection of any one of the user's content, as well as a selection of any other content listed in the media guidance application, may be subject to access control criteria applicable to the user equipment device from which the selection was received.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for designing a re-targeted toxin conjugate for use in treating a medical condition or disease. Also provided, is the use of said conjugates in the manufacture of a medicament for treating medical conditions or diseases. The conjugates include a Targeting Moiety, which directs the conjugate to a desired target cell, and are characterised by a Targeting Moiety that increases exocytic fusion in the target cell. The present invention also provides methods for identifying agonists suitable for use as Targeting Moieties, and methods for preparing conjugates comprising said Targeting Moieties, to re-target a toxin to a cell of therapeutic interest. In particular, the present invention describes a method for designing a toxin conjugate, and describes therapeutic applications of said conjugates to inhibit or reduce cellular processes. Even more particularly, the present invention describes a method for designing toxin conjugates based upon non-cytotoxic toxins able to inhibit exocytosis, such as clostridial neurotoxins, and describes therapeutic applications of said conjugates to inhibit or reduce exocytosis (for example secretion, or the delivery of proteins such as receptors, transporters, and membrane channels to the plasma membrane of a cell).

The present invention is directed to non-cytotoxic protein conjugates for inhibition or reduction of exocytic fusion in a nociceptive sensory afferent cell. The protein conjugates comprise: (i) a dynorphin Targeting Moiety (TM), wherein the TM is an agonist of a receptor present on a nociceptive sensory afferent cell, and wherein the receptor undergoes endocytosis to be incorporated into an endosome within the nociceptive sensory afferent cell; (ii) a non-cytotoxic protease or a fragment thereof, wherein the protease or protease fragment is capable of cleaving a protein of the exocytic fusion apparatus of the nociceptive sensory afferent cell; and (iii) a Translocation Domain, wherein the Translocation Domain translocates the protease or protease fragment from within the endosome, across the endosomal membrane, and into the cytosol of the nociceptive sensory afferent cell. Nucleic acid sequences encoding the protein conjugates, methods of preparing same and uses thereof are also described.

摘要:
An antigenic pharmaceutical composition is provided comprising Protective Antigen (PA) and Lethal Factor (LF), wherein said PA and/or LF lacks a functional binding site, thereby preventing said PA and LF from binding together via said binding site or thereby preventing said PA from binding to a native PA cell receptor via said binding site, and wherein said composition is substantially non-toxic to animal cells. The composition is for preventing or minimising anthrax toxicity in mammals, preferably in humans. Also provided are DNA and RNA based vaccines encoding the antigenic components of said pharmaceutical composition. The present specification also describes antibodies that bind to at least one of PA, LF or EF, which binding thereby prevents:—(i) PA from binding to LF or EF, or to a native PA cell receptor; or (ii) LF from binding to PA; or (iii) EF from binding to PA.
