摘要:
Genes relating to resistance to infection by influenza virus are identified. The genes and the gene products (i.e., the polynucleotides transcribed from and polypeptides encoded by the genes) can be used for the prevention and treatment of influenza. The genes and the gene products can also be used to screen agents that modulate the gene expression or the activities of the gene products.
摘要:
The present invention provides methods and compositions designed for the treatment, management, and/or amelioration of an infection, in particular an intracellular pathogen infection, such as a viral, bacterial, protozoa or fungal infection. In particular, the present invention provides methods for treating, managing, preventing and/or ameliorating an infection where the expression of EphA2 is upregulated in infected cells (e.g., infected epithelial cells), said methods comprising administering to a subject an effective amount of one or more EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators. In accordance with the present invention, such methods may also comprise the administration of one or more therapies other than an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator. The present invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulators, and optionally, one or more prophylactic or therapeutic agents other than an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator, and the use of such compositions in the treating, management, prevention and/or amelioration of an infection. Further provided by the invention are articles of manufacture and kits comprising an EphA2/EphrinA1 Modulator of the invention, and, optionally, other prophylactic or therapeutic agents (e.g., immunomodulatory agents, anti-viral agents, anti-inflammatory agents, anti-bacterial agents, anti-fungal agents, etc.).
摘要:
The present invention is directed to compounds and methods for the treatment of metastatic disease. The compounds of this invention have specificity for EphA2, an epithelial cell tyrosine kinase that is overexpressed in metastatic tumor-cells. The compounds used in accordance with this invention may be provided in a pharmaceutical composition for treatment of metastatic disease.
摘要:
XMRV appears to be related to both prostate cancer if it infects a male germ cell and chronic fatigue syndrome in both sexes. (If the virus does not infect a germ cell). Prostate cancer cells exhibit TSG101 on the surface only upon infection with a virus like XMRV. Antibodies to TSG101 can be effective diagnostics to identify individuals with a predisposition to prostate. They can also be used in place of current diagnostics to confirm the presence of prostate cancer. TSG101 antibodies, when administered in vivo, exhibit the ability to reduce tumor size, suppress metastatic transformation and extend survival.
摘要:
Caspace inhibition provides inhibition of viral infection across a wide collection of caspaces and viruses. Caspace inhibition, the prevention of the formation of active caspaces, can be achieved either through gene therapy, protein binding an inhibition, or through small molecule administration. Examples for small molecule inhibition allow the formation of a pharmacaphore to identify more and more active small molecules.
摘要:
Method and kits are provided for the detection and diagnosis of metastatic disease. More particularly, the methods and kits employ compounds that can detect EphA2, a specific epithelial cell tyrosine kinase that is overexpressed in metastatic tumor cells. In one embodiment the compound is an antibody capable of binding to an epitope of EphA2.
