摘要:
The present disclosure relates to adenovirus protein modifications to augment immune response to a transgene of a recombinant adenovirus and to circumvent pre-existing anti-adenovirus immunity. Some embodiments are directed to a recombinant adenovirus derived from a recombinant adenovirus plasmid vector, wherein the recombinant adenovirus plasmid vector comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding a Plasmodium circumsporozoite protein, or antigenic portion thereof, operably linked to a heterologous promoter and a modified capsid or core protein, wherein an immunogenic epitope of Plasmodium circumsporozoite is inserted into or replaces at least part of a capsid or core protein. Other embodiments are directed to a pharmaceutical composition or a malaria vaccine composition comprising a recombinant adenovirus according to the above embodiments. Further embodiments include a method of treating, preventing, or diagnosing malaria, comprising administering a therapeutic amount of the pharmaceutical composition or malaria vaccine composition in accordance with the above embodiment.
摘要:
The present invention provides an identification marker responsive to IFN therapy for renal cell cancer and a means of detecting the same. Namely, a method which comprises preparing a genomic DNA of a human gene or a complementary strand thereof from a specimen of a patient with renal cell cancer, analyzing the DNA sequence of the genomic DNA or the complementary strand thereof to determine the gene polymorphism of the human gene, and evaluating the tumor-suppression effect of IFN therapy on renal cell cancer by using the polymorphism as an indicator.
