摘要:
A novel protein modulator of non-genomic activity of nuclear receptors (MNAR), which interacts with estrogen receptors alpha (ERα), estrogen receptor beta (ERβ), and other nuclear receptors, was discovered and characterized. An MNAR-ER complex, in vitro and in vivo, relates to nucleic acids, antisense, recombinant expression of nucleic acids, as well as host cells, compositions and assays that utilize the nucleic acids and protein of this invention.
摘要:
The invention relates to compositions and methods comprising lymphotoxin-beta receptor (LTβR) modulators, which activate or inhibit LTβR signaling. LTβR modulators are useful for treating lymphocyte mediated immunological diseases and cancer, and more particularly, for regulating mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis. This invention relates to soluble forms of the LTβR complex proteins that act as LTβR activating or inhibiting agents. This invention also relates to the use of soluble molecules, directed against either the LTβR, its ligands, LIGHT and LTβ1α2, or its intracellular binding partners, that function to regulate LTβR signaling. A novel screening method for selecting soluble receptors, antibodies and other agents that modulate LTβR signaling is provided.
摘要:
β-hemolytic streptococci polynucleotides, polypeptides, particularly Streptococcus pyogenes polypeptides and polynucleotides, and antibodies of these polypeptides are described. The polynucleotides, polypeptides, and antibodies of the invention can be formulated for use as immunogenic compositions. Also disclosed are methods for immunizing against and reducing β-hemolytic streptococcal infection, and for detecting β-hemolytic streptococci in a biological sample.

摘要:
The present invention relates to, among other embodiments, protein complexes which include tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and/or tumor necrosis factor alpha receptor (TNFR). Preferably, the complexes comprise at least one polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: NF-κB activating kinase (NAK), RasGAP3, TRCP1, and TRCP2. The present invention further provides assays of identifying a compound for modulating the stability and activity of the complex. Also provided are methods of modulating apoptosis and inflammation, as well as treating TNF-α related diseases.
