摘要:
This invention provides improved replication-competent adenoviral vectors. The improved vectors have both a hybrid regulatory unit that provides for high level transgene expression. The vectors can be use, e.g., for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes.

摘要:
Tat protein produced in bulk culture is inactive when induced at conventional optical densities but can be obtained in biologically active form when induced during the logarithmic growth phase.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method to treat Kaposi's sarcoma (KS), and particularly, human immunodeficiency virus associated KS through the administration of antisense oligonucleotides complementary to basic fibroblast growth factor RNA.
摘要:
Core-shell nanoparticles comprising: (a) a core which comprises a water insoluble polymer or copolymer, and (b) a shell which comprises a hydrophilic polymer or copolymer; said nanoparticles being obtainable by emulsion polymerization of a mixture comprising, in an aqueous solution, at least one water-insoluble styrenic, acrylic or methacrylic monomer and specific hydrophylic monomers or copolymers.
摘要:
Native Tat, when administered to patients with HIV infection, or who are otherwise immunocompromised, is capable of restoring immune functions so as to recognise recall antigens, and to inhibit replication and key signs of HIV disease and other persistent infections and/or their progression.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for prophylactic and/or therapeutic vaccination and/or treatment and/or diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, other infectious diseases, inflammatory and angiogenic diseases and tumours which utilizes a biologically active HIV-1 Tat protein, fragments or derivates thereof, as a module with one or more of the following features: antigen, adjuvant and targeting-delivery system to specific antigen-presenting cells including dendritic cells, endothelial cells and macrophages. In particular, it is claimed that Tat can be used only in its biologically active form as an antigen combined with one or more other antigens, to prime or to boost protective immune responses against itself as well as other antigens and/or to selectively deliver these antigen(s) as well as active compounds to dendritic cells, endothelial cells and macrophages, due to its capability of targeting these A PC and of activating their maturation and functions and of increasing Th-1 type immune responses as an adjuvant. Therefore, due to these characteristics and to the distribution of these cells in the body (during physiological and pathological disorders), biologically active Tat, fragments or derivates thereof containing the RGD region, can be used for preventive, therapeutic and/or diagnostic purposes for HIV/AIDS, other infectious diseases, inflammatory and angiogenic diseases and tumors.
