摘要:
The present invention is directed to methods of treating flavivirus mediated diseases using siRNAs. The invention is based upon our findings in a mouse model that siRNAs directed against sequences conserved among multiple flaviviruses prevents and treats flavivirus infections. Accordingly, the present invention provides an isolated siRNA comprising a sense RNA and an antisense RNA strand or a single strand. The sense and the antisense RNA strands, or the single RNA strand, form an RNA duplex, and wherein the RNA strand comprises a nucleotide sequence identical to a target sequence of about 15 to about 30 contiguous nucleotides in flavivirus mRNA or mutant or variant thereof.

The present invention provides a method of delivering RNA interference molecules to a cell or a cell in a subject, which comprises contacting the cell with a protein-double stranded RNA complex, the complex comprising the double stranded RNA segment containing a double stranded RNA of interest and a protein, the protein comprising (1) a targeting moiety, which will specifically bind to a site on a target cell, and (2) a binding moiety linked thereto, which will bind to the double stranded RNA, wherein the double stranded RNA segment is delivered to a cell and effects RNA interference of the target RNA in the cell.

The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery of compositions and methods for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases or disorders, e.g., HIV infection, AIDS, and AIDS-related diseases. In particular, the present invention pertains to methods of modulating cellular gene expression or protein activity, e.g., CCR5, gene expression or protein activity and/or gene expression or protein activity of a gene or sequence of an infectious agent, in order to treat or prevent infectious diseases or disorders, HIV infection, AIDS, or an AIDS-related disease or disorder. In one embodiment the combination of an RNA interfering agent targeting a cellular gene in combination with an RNA interfering agent targeting a gene or sequence of an infectious agent results in prolonged prevention of infection by an infectious agent. The present invention is based on the identification of novel RNA interference agents, e.g., siRNA molecules, which target cellular genes, e.g., chemokine receptors, e.g., the CCR5 gene, and result in inhibition of target gene expression on target gene expressing cells, thereby inhibiting entry of infectious agents, e,g., HIV infection into target cells, prevention infection, and/or suppressing replication in established infection.

The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery of compositions and methods useful in the modulation, e.g., inhibition, of gene expression or protein activity. In particular, the present invention is based on novel RNA interfering agents, e.g., siRNA molecules which target apoptosis-related genes or proinflammatory cytokines, and result in reduction, e.g., prolonged reduction, of apoptosis-related gene expression or proinflammatory cytokine expression in cells. Inhibition of apoptosis-related gene expression or protein activity or proinflammatory cytokine expression or protein activity, e.g., by the siRNAs of the invention, inhibits apoptosis-mediated diseases or disorders and proinflammatory cytokine mediated diseases or disorders, including, for example, transplant rejection, hepatitis, liver injury, sepsis, and cancer.

摘要:
A method for rendering an object in a 3D graphic terminal includes constructing camera coordinates, based on vertex information of objects existing in a 3D space, and selecting one object in a left frustum and a right frustum, based on the constructed camera coordinates, wherein the left frustum is defined centered on a left virtual camera viewpoint, and the right frustum is defined centered on a right virtual camera viewpoint. The method further includes determining a binocular disparity by projecting vertexes of the selected object in the left frustum and the right frustum, and adjusting frustum parameters of the left virtual camera and the right virtual camera when the determined binocular disparity is greater than an allowable binocular disparity.

An apparatus and a method synthesize additional information while rendering an object in a 3D-based terminal. A disparity of the additional information is determined with a value that is equal to a disparity of an object or greater than the disparity of the object by a predetermined value in a situation in which the object hidden by the additional information is to be synthesized using a depth buffer. The additional information is overlaid on an image with consideration of the determined disparity of the additional information.
