Abstract:
HIV protease inhibitor analogs and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor analogs are provided that are immunochemically equivalent to the parent compound. These analog compounds are useful as calibrators and positive controls in assays for determining HIV protease inhibitors and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors in samples. Methods for preparing calibration curves using the analogs and test kits comprising the analogs are also provided.
Abstract:
Biomarkers for detecting aggrecanas-1 and/or aggrecanase-2 activity are disclosed. The biomarkers are specific peptide fragments of alpha2 macroglobulin.
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, there are provided fully human monoclonal antibodies against secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) and antigen binding fragments thereof. Nucleotide sequences encoding and amino acid sequences comprising heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules are provided. The invention provides antibodies and antigen-binding fragments thereof specifically bind to SLPI; act to neutralize SLPI activity; and can modulate SLPI effects.
Abstract:
A library of mutants of metastable proteins, such as proteinase inhibitors, can be screened for the specific loss of a wild-type capability to bind an antibody, yielding valuable drug-design information which otherwise is unavailable. By this approach, for example, a mutant proteinase inhibitor can be obtained that has the amino acid sequence of a wild-type protein, or an active fragment therof, save for the presence of one or more mutations in at least one epitope, thereby altering interaction of the mutant with an anti-proteinase inhibitor antibody.
Abstract:
Ixolaris, a novel protein with anticoagulant activity is described. Ixolaris can be isolated from the salivary glands of ticks or made by recombinant methods using various DNA expression techniques.
Abstract:
The instant invention involves the use of a combination of preparatory steps in conjunction with mass spectroscopy and time-of-fl ight detection procedures to maximize the diversity of biopolymers which are verifiable within a particular sample. The cohort of biopolymers verified within such a sample is then viewed with reference to their ability to evidence at least one particular disease state; thereby enabling a diagnostician to gain the ability to characterize either the presence or absence of said at least one disease state relative to recognition of the presence and/or the absence of said biopolymer, predict disease risk assessment, and develop therapeutic avenues against said disease.
Abstract:
The compounds of the invention are generally described by the formula: (1): B1Z 2B3Z 4X 5Q6F7X8X9X10X11, (2): B1X2X3X4X5Q6F7X8X9X10X11, or (3): B1X2B3X4Z5Q6F7Z8X9X10X11 and the salts, esters, amides, and acyl forms thereof. Each position represented by a letter indicates a single amino acid residue: B is a basic or polar/large amino acid or a modified form thereof; X is a small or hydrophobic amino acid or a modified form thereof; X is a small or polar/large amino acid or a modified form thereof; Z is a polar/large or hydrophobic amino acid or a modified form thereof; Z is Proline or a polar/large or hydrophobic amino acid or a modified form thereof. As described below, one or more of the peptide linkages between the amino acid residues may be replaced by a peptide linkage mimic. These compounds may be used as molecular building blocks to create compounds that are optimized for inhibiting the protease activity of Botulinum B and tetanus toxins.
