摘要:
Genetic constructs that comprise a coding sequence for HIV-1 Rev, and a coding sequence for a desired protein are disclosed. Compositions that comprise at least two nucleic acid molecules in which at least one nucleic acid molecule comprises a coding sequence for HIV-1 Rev, and at least one nucleic acid molecule comprises a coding sequence for a desired protein are disclosed. In such genetic constructs and compositions comprising nucleic acid molecules, the coding sequence for the desired protein comprises at least a portion of coding sequence for an HIV structural protein that includes an RRE and at least one CTE. Methods of inducing an immune response against an immunogen in an individual, methods of delivering proteins to an individual and methods of producing proteins are also disclosed.
摘要:
This invention provides methods of inducing cell death with Flavivirus or Pestivirus capsid protein, such as West Nile virus (WNV) capsid protein, and functional fragments thereof. The invention also provides methods of treating patients suffering from diseases characterized by hyperproliferating cells by administering pharmaceutical compositions comprising WNV or other virus including Flavivirus or Pestivirus capsid or other protein or a nucleic acid molecule encoding the same. Methods of identifying compounds which have anti-viral and/or anti-WNV and/or anti-Flavivirus and/or anti-Pestivirus capsid or other protein activity are disclosed. The invention also provides vaccine compositions comprising capsid or other proteins, or fragments thereof, or nucleic acids encoding same, from WNV or other virus including Flavivirus or Pestivirus and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. The invention also provides diagnostic methods and kits for identifying individuals exposed to WNV or other viruses including Flavivirus or Pestivirus.

摘要:
Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a recombinant nucleic acid sequence that encodes an antibody to a Zika viral antigen, and functional fragments thereof. The invention also relates to a composition comprising the combination of a first composition that elicits an immune response in a mammal against zika virus and a second composition comprising a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding an antibody, a fragment thereof, a variant thereof, or a combination thereof. In some instances, the nucleic acid molecule comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding an anti-ZIKV-Envelope (anti-ZIKV E) Protein antibody.
摘要:
Disclosed herein is a vaccine comprising an antigen and one or more bimolecular adjuvant. Also disclosed herein are methods for increasing an immune response in a subject. The methods may comprise administering the vaccine to the subject in need thereof.
摘要:
Methods of treating an individual who has been identified as having been infected with HIV are disclosed. Methods of treating an individual who is suspected of having been exposed to HIV are disclosed. Some methods disclosed comprise the step of administering to the individual an amount of a p38 inhibitor effective to inhibit FasL expression. Some methods disclosed comprise the step of administering to the individual an amount of a p38 inhibitor effective to inhibit HIV replication. Some methods disclosed comprise the step of administering to the individual an amount of a p38 inhibitor effective to inhibit HIV replication without inhibiting T cell activation. Some methods disclosed comprise administering to the individual one or more other anti-HIV compounds in combination with a p38 inhibitor. Methods of identifying compounds that inhibit Nef mediated upregulation of FasL expression are disclosed. Methods of identifying compounds that inhibit the p38 pathway are disclosed.
