摘要:
Substantially pure, pyrogen-free beta-1,3-glucan is produced by cultivating Euglena cells in a defined growth medium and under specified conditions that provide a cell mass comprising 70% to 90% beta-1,3-glucan on a dry weight basis, separating the cell mass from the supernatant, extracting the cell mass with methanol and chloroform, acid-washing the extracted cell mass, and washing the acid-treated material with water.

摘要:
Non-phytotoxic roots coating compositions comprising a polymer, VAM propagules, and a fungicide that selectively inhibits pathogenic fungi are provided. Also provided are methods of coating plant roots with the aforesaid composition and plants comprising roots coated with a polymer containing VAM propagules and a fungicide.In an alternative approach, the roots are first rolled in a dried polymer composition and then dipped in a suspension of VAM propagules, or attached to a film which is a dried polymer containing a spore suspension.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for effectively inhibiting unwanted angiogenesis. More particularly, this invention relates to methods of treating diseases that show unwanted angiogenesis and to delivering anti-angiogenic activity to a mammal. In other aspects this invention relates to methods of reducing the level of tumor necrosis factor .alpha..
摘要:
An aerosol spray for use in disinfecting a surface for personal use, such as a public restroom facility or telephone. The composition and delivery of the composition provides for the placement of a spray of disinfectant which includes a dye. The dye disappears as the spray effects the germicidal activity of the disinfectant. The composition is also rapidly drying, so that the dye disappears as well as the disinfecting composition leaving the surface dry.

Juvenile-onset recurrent respiratory papillomatosis is treated using active vaccination or passive immune therapy of neutralizing antibodies against HPV L2 neutralizing epitopes.
摘要:
A polypeptide self-antigen useful in a tumor-specific vaccine mimics one or more epitopes of an antigen uniquely expressed by cells of the tumor. The polypeptide is preferably produced in a plant that has been transformed or transfected with nucleic acid encoding the polypeptide and is obtainable from the plant in correctly folded, preferably soluble form without a need for denaturation and renaturation. This plant-produced polypeptide is immunogenic without a need for exogenous adjuvants or other immunostimulatory materials. The polypeptide is preferably an scFv molecule that bears the idiotype of the surface immunoglobulin of a non-Hodgkin's (or B cell) lymphoma. Upon administration to a subject with lymphoma, the plant-produced, tumor-unique scFv polypeptide induces an idiotype-specific antibody or cell-mediated immune response against the lymphoma.

The present invention relates to methods for effectively inhibiting inflammatory diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. In other aspects, this invention relates to methods of reducing or inhibiting granulomas.
摘要:
Described is a method for diagnosing a person having or being at risk of developing certain B-cell pathologies, including Sjögren's Syndrome and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and excluding patients with symptoms similar to Sjögren's Syndrome but with a different etiology, comprising the following steps: providing a sample of a body fluid or tissue from said person, said sample containing a mixture of unknown proteins, protein fragments or peptides; analyzing said samples with mass spectrometry to generate a m/z (mass to charge ratio) spectrogram for each sample; comparing whether the patient's sample contains m/z values that are characteristic of a Sjögren's Syndrome reference database derived from the analysis and cataloguing of multiple patient spectrograms; and determining whether said patient either has or does not have Sjögren's Syndrome on the basis of this comparative analysis.
