摘要:
A genetic package display system and methodology for probing protein-protein interactions that lead to cell transduction, selecting and/or identifying internalizing ligands, target cells and tissues which internalize known or putative ligands, and cell transduction facilitating peptides is provided. A ligand displaying genetic package that carries a selectable marker (e.g., reporter, selection, etc.) and presents a ligand on its surface is utilized to identify internalizing ligands, tranduction facilitating peptides, and/or a variety of cells and tissue types for the ability to be successfully transduced by the ligand displaying genetic package. Also provided are methods for evolving a ligand displaying package to facilitate gene delivery or delivery of any desired agent (e.g., pharmaceutical, polypeptide, peptide, etc.) into a cell and/or targeting cellular compartments such as the nucleus, endosome, chloroplast, mitochondria, etc.
摘要:
A method for identifying specific protein-protein (i.e., ligand/anti-ligand) interactions that internalize and are detected by transgene expression. A ligand displaying genetic package that carries a reporter or selectable marker and presents a ligand or putative ligand on its surface is utilized to screen cells displaying known or putative anti-ligands for the ability to successfully internalize the ligand displaying genetic package.

摘要:
A genetic package display system is presented for selecting internalizing ligands for gene delivery. The genetic package carries a reporter, selectable marker, or a specifically detectable nucleic acid sequence and presents a ligand on its surface. More specifically, a library of potential ligands may be screened for the ability to successfully transduce target cells.
摘要:
The present invention provides antibodies that immunospecifically bind to a galanin peptide and compositions comprising said antibodies. The present invention also provides methods for preventing, treating, managing, and/or ameliorating hyperproliferative disorders or a symptom thereof comprising administering to a subject in need thereof one or more antibodies that immunospecifically bind to a galanin peptide. The invention also encompasses methods and compositions for diagnosing, monitoring, and prognosing hyperproliferative disorders. The present invention further relates to articles of manufacture and kits comprising antibodies that immunospecifically bind to a galanin peptide.
