摘要:
The present disclosure provides a method of treating or preventing hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury in an animal comprising administering an effective amount of an FGL2-FcγRIIB inhibitor to an animal in need thereof. Also provided herein are uses, compositions and screening assays for FGL2- FcγRIIB inhibitors useful in treating hepatic ischemia and reperfusion injury.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for inducing immune suppression are disclosed. The methods involve administering an effective amount of a soluble fgl2 protein or a nucleic acid encoding a soluble fgl2 protein. The methods are useful in preventing graft rejection, autoimmune disease, and allergies.
摘要:
The present invention relates to porcine fgl2 gene and protein and methods of modulating the gene and protein. The methods are useful in preventing thrombosis associated with the xenotransplantation of porcine organs or tissues.

摘要:
Methods for mediating immune coagulation using novel antibodies and compounds are described. A protein Fgl2 having direct prothrombinase activity has been identified. Inhibitors of Fgl2 are useful in preventing and treating diseases which require a reduction in immune coagulation including bacterial and viral infections, allograft and xenograft rejection, glomerulonephritis, cancer, a number of gastrointestinal diseases and fetal loss.
摘要:
The disclosure relates to methods for identifying a subject having elevated FGL2 plasma levels, the method comprising the step of assaying a plasma sample from the subject to determine a level of FGL2, wherein a level above control indicates the subject has elevated FGL2 levels. Diagnostic methods, methods of monitoring prognosis and methods of medical treatment relating to viral hepatitis are also provided. The disclosure also provides assays and kits useful in the diagnosis of a viral hepatitis associated with elevated FGL2.
摘要:
An interactive device/system of and method for delivery, receipt and/or decoding of and/or response to keyed or tagged video content provided in connection with one or more video broadcasts (for example, television or streaming video). Responsive thereto, the system and method may deliver and/or receive video and/or audio information. Such delivery and/or receipt of video and/or audio information may be responsive to content embedded in the broadcast but not visually observed, responsive to broadcast content that is visually observed and then parsed and correlated with a predetermined response, and responsive to a user/operator instruction, input and/or request. The interactive video receiving device may determine a video-based broadcast is an interactive video-based broadcast, wherein, the device automatically provides interaction options and or based on a response by the user/viewer to the video-based broadcast, the video receiving device transmits “interest-level” data (i.e., data which is representative of the viewer's level of interest to the video-based broadcast) to obtain additional information regarding the video-based broadcast. Other inventions are also disclosed.
摘要:
Interchangeable high band low-noise-amplifiers (LNAs) and low band low-noise-amplifiers (LNAs) and related methods are disclosed that greatly enhance the efficiency of designing handsets for different combinations of frequency bands. The input signals to particular pins on a receiver or transceiver integrated circuit (IC) are swappable such that multiple frequency bands can be input to the same input pins thereby allowing for simplified system design. Efficient programmable techniques are also disclosed for controlling a swap mode within communication ICs. These interchangeable or band swappable input paths, for example, can be utilized to allow interchangeability between high band (PCS, DCS) and low band (GSM, E-GSM) inputs for cellular communications. In this way, for example, handset manufacturers can build a single printed circuit board (PCB) that can be utilized for cellular communications in the United States of America, where 850 MHz (GSM) and 1900 MHz (PCS) bands are utilized, and in Europe, wherein 900 MHz (E-GSM) and 1800 MHz (DCS) bands are utilized.
