摘要:
Hybrid, third generation, plasminogen activators containing plural, heterologous polypeptide kringles prepared by recombinant DNA techniques as well as the genes coding for the activators, Vectors containing those genes and a method for using the plasminogen activators as thrombolytic agents, are disclosed.
摘要:
Chimeric DNA fragments are provided which include a nucleotide sequence substantially the same as that which codes for the HA surface protein of an influenza A virus having five immunodominant antigenic sites, wherein a nucleotide sequence substantially the same as that which codes for a foreign epitope is inserted into the nucleotide sequence of an antigenic site. Corresponding chimeric peptides, expression vectors, and transformed hosts are provided as well. These peptides are useful in providing vaccines against the respective antigens and in test kits to detect the exposure to such antigens. Additionally, these peptides or their corresponding antibodies are useful in methods of treatment and prevention of the manifestations of exposure to these antigens, including immunotherapy.

Tris-Kringle plasminogen activators containing an additional second kringle domain or an additional modified second kringle domain are useful in disrupting blood clots.
摘要:
This invention provides a method of protecting a primate from an infectious organism by stimulating the production of antibodies or cell mediated immunity to the infectious organism which comprises administering to said primate intranasally, intramuscularly, or subcutaneously, live recombinant adenoviruses in which the virion structural protein is unchanged from that in the native adenovirus from which the recombinant adenovirus is produced, and which contain the gene coding for the antigen corresponding to said antibodies or inducing said cell mediated immunity. Preferably, the infectious organism is HIV and the primate is a human.
摘要:
The present invention provides a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) segment related to a human plasminogen activator gene. The segment is inserted into a plasmid vector which in turn can be incorporated into a bacterium or other microorganism. The bacterium can then be cultured to produce a plasminogen activator protein having properties of human urokinase.
摘要:
Methods and vaccines for the production of antibodies to infectious organisms are described. Live recombinant adenovirus containing a foreign gene coding for an antigen produced by another infectious organism is delivered to the intestine of a warm-blooded animal in an enteric-coated dosage form, whereupon the virus infects the gut wall and induces the production of antibodies or cell mediated immunity to both adenovirus and the other infectious organism.
摘要:
The invention disclosed herein provides a method of treating an animal infected by hepatitis B virus comprising administering to such infected animal an amount of a rifamycin derivative selected from a group consisting of(a) 3-amino-4-deoxo-4-imino-rifamycin S,(b) 3-amino-4-deoxo-4-[(4-aminophenyl)sulphonyl]amino-rifamycin SV,(c) 4-O-n-butylsulphonyl-3-[(1-piperidinylimino)methyl]-rifamycin SV,(d) 4-O-n-butylsulfonyl-3-[(4-morpholinylimino)methyl]-rifamycin SV,(e) 3-[(dimethylhydrazono)methyl]-4-O-[(3-phenylpropyl)sulfonyl]-rifamycin SV said amount being effective to alleviate the effects of said hepatitis B virus. Also disclosed is a method of inhibiting the viral polymerase of hepatitis B virus by subjecting said polymerase to an amount of one of the rifamycin derivatives (a)-(e) above, said amount being effective to prevent the synthesis of hepatitis B virus by said viral polymerase.
