Abstract:
Provided herein are rAAV and other vectors and compositions useful for treating a patient having CMT2 comprising: (a) a recombinant nucleic acid sequence encoding an engineered human mitofusin 2 coding sequence operably linked to regulatory sequences which direct expression thereof in a human target cell. Also provided are rAAV and other vectors and compositions useful for treating a patient having CMT2 comprising: (b) a nucleic acid sequence encoding at least one miRNA specific for an endogenous human mitofusin 2 sequence in a human CMT2A subject, wherein the miRNA coding sequence is operably linked to regulatory sequences which direct expression thereof in the subject. Further provided are compositions containing both the engineered hMfn2 coding sequence and the at least one miRNA coding sequence, wherein the engineered human mitofusin 2 coding sequence has a sequence which differs from endogenous human mitofusin 2 in the CMT2A patient in the target site of the encoded miRNA.
Abstract:
Described herein are methods of preventing, arresting progression of or ameliorating vision loss and other conditions associated with retinitis pigmentosa and x-linked retinitis pigmentosa in a subject. The methods include administering to said subject an effective concentration of a composition comprising a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) carrying a nucleic acid sequence encoding a normal retinitis pigmentosa GTPase regulator (RPGR gene), or fragment thereof, under the control of regulatory sequences which express the product of the gene in the photoreceptor cells of the subject, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
Abstract:
Disclosed are therapeutic formulations comprising antibodies against the PEKRAEKIWK (SEQ ID NO:1) epitope of the monomeric isoform of A-protein and a physiologically acceptable carrier. Methods for the treatment of subjects using these therapeutic formulations are also disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the field of prophylaxis and therapy of metastatic cancer. In particular there is provided a protein; Ras Homology gene family, member C (RhoC) or peptide fragments thereof that are capable of eliciting anti-cancer immune responses. Specifically, the invention relates to use of RhoC or peptides derived thereof or RhoC specific T-cells for treatment of metastatic cancer. Hence, the invention in one aspect relates to RhoC specific T-cells adoptively transferred or induced in vivo by vaccination as a treatment of cancer.Also the use of RhoC and immunogenic peptide fragments hereof in cancer treatment, diagnosis and prognosis is provided.
Abstract:
Mitofusin modulatory peptides are described which may function as activators or inhibitors of mitochondrial fusion. The sequences and compositions comprising the sequences are useful for treating diseases or disorders associated with mitofusin 1 (Mfn1) and/or mitofusin 2 (Mfn2) and mitochondrial dysfunction. Methods of treatment, pharmaceutical formulations and methods of identifying compounds that mimic the activity of the peptides for use in screening assays are also described.
Abstract:
Full length MxA constructs and truncated MxA constructs produce human MxA protein in E. coli. The full length MxA and truncated MxA constructs are preferably E. coli codon-optimized to optimize the amount of protein made using the constructs. T5 or T7 promoters can each be used in combination with either the full length MxA or the truncated MxA constructs. In one preferred embodiment, the MxA protein produced by the full length MxA or truncated MxA constructs is used in a control prep or external control. In other preferred embodiments, the MxA protein is used as a therapeutic.

Abstract:
The present application describes a method of inhibiting tumor growth including contacting the tumor with a compound that inhibits activity of RhoJ protein.
Abstract:
Technology described herein relates to a fusion protein comprising a zinc-finger domain (ZNF) of Regulating Synaptic Membrane Exocytosis Protein (RIMS); and a CaVβ Ca2+ channel subunit. Compositions comprising the fusion protein and method of treatment utilizing the fusion protein are also provided herein.
Abstract:
Inhibitors of Ras protein, methods to modulate the activity of Ras protein, and methods of treatment of disorders mediated by Ras protein are provided. A method for regulating activity of a K-Ras, H-Ras or N-Ras mutant protein with a compound is described. Disorders that can be treated include cancer, such as hematological cancer, pancreatic cancer, MYH associated polyposis, colorectal cancer, or lung cancer.
