Abstract:
Polymeric sequence probes and methods are described that enhance the speed and sensitivity of detection of target analytes by combining a multiplicity of binding moieties specific for analyte, at least two of which are linearly arranged and optionally a multiplicity of detectable labels.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods for treating cancer by administering a pharmaceutical composition comprising a fixed, non-antagonistic molar ratio of cytarabine and an anthracycline. Such methods are particularly useful in the treatment of patients with advanced hematologic cancers or proliferative disorders.
Abstract:
A multiplicity of applications of the CellSpot TM assay method are described. Among these applications are extension to integral membrane protein probes, extension to secretion from bacterial cells, identification of antibodies with enhanced affinity, identification of clones with increased secretion levels, and use of massively parallel screening to identify rare efficacious antibodies.
Abstract:
MRI contrast agents that employ paramagnetic agents and chemical exchange saturation transfer (paraCEST) and which are coupled to targeted particulate delivery vehicles provide sufficient concentration of the paraCEST contrast agents to obtain useful images of target tissues or organs. In addition, the image contrast may be switched on or off with a presaturation radio frequency pulse, avoiding the necessity obtaining pre-injection and post-injection images.
Abstract:
The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating patients with hematological proliferative disorders who are ineligible for treatment with standard intensive chemotherapy, using low intensity treatment with CPX-351, a liposomal composition of daunorubicin and cytarabine.
Abstract:
Conjugates of topoisomerase I inhibitors linked to a macromolecule through a linkage that undergo beta elimination in situ in combination with one or more of an assessed defect in DNA damage response (DDR) in a subject bearing cancer, a cell cycle checkpoint inhibitor and/or a DDR inhibitor provides improved outcomes for cancer-bearing subjects.

Abstract:
Advantage is taken of the enhanced permeability and retention effect (EPR effect) to shield normal tissue from exposure to combinations of chemotherapeutic agents. Imaging agents that exhibit the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect in solid tumors are useful in mimicking the behavior of chemotherapeutic or other drugs for treatment of said tumor conjugated to carriers of similar size and shape to the carriers of said imaging agents.
