摘要:
This invention provides a monoclonal antibody that (i) specifically binds to the extracellular portion of human angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (hACE2); (ii) specifically inhibits binding of SARS-CoV-2 to the extracellular portion of hACE2; and (iii) does not significantly inhibit the ability of hACE2 to cleave angiotensin II and/or a synthetic MCA-based peptide. This invention also provides related recombinant AAV vectors, recombinant AAV particles, compositions, prophylactic and therapeutic methods, and kits.

摘要:
This invention provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a hematologic malignancy comprising administering to the subject an agent targeting a hematologic malignancy-associated antigen, wherein the subject has a low peripheral cancerous cell burden. This invention also provides a method for treating a subject afflicted with a hematologic malignancy and having a high peripheral cancerous cell burden, comprising (i) medically lowering the subject's peripheral cancerous cell burden, and (ii) while the subject's peripheral cancerous cell burden is still low, administering to the subject an agent targeting a hematologic malignancy-associated antigen. Particularly envisioned are the subject methods for treating acute myeloid leukemia using an anti-CD33 antibody labeled with an alpha-emitting isotope, such as 225 Ac-HuM195.
摘要:
This invention provides a compound selected from the group consisting of L- nicotine(X 1 )(X 2 ) and D-nicotine(X 1 )(X 2 ), or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein (i) each of Χ 1 and X 2 is independently a pharmaceutically acceptable anion or a null set; and (ii) Χ 1 and X 2 cannot both be null sets. This invention also provides related compositions, as well as methods for treating a disorder reasonably believed to be ameliorated by the administration of nicotine.
摘要:
Presented herein is a method for treating a subject afflicted with a tumor comprising administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an agent that inhibits the MSF/Cdc42/NFkB cascade in the subject's tumor-associated fibroblasts.
摘要:
This invention provides a method of identifying one or more subgroups of cancer patients that are likely to benefit from treatment with a monocarboxylate transporter (MCT) protein inhibitor comprising: (a) obtaining a sample of a cancer/tumor tissue from each of said cancer patients; (b) determining the expression level of stromal MCT4 protein in each of said samples of cancer/tumor tissue to obtain a first dataset; and (c) using the expression level of the stromal MCT4 protein from said first dataset to classify each of said sets of one or more cancer patients as stromal MCT4-positive or stromal MCT4-negative, wherein the cancer patients classified as stromal MCT4- positive are patients that are more likely to benefit from treatment with said MCT protein inhibitor. This invention also provides related methods for treating a cancer/tumor whose stromal component expresses the MCT4 protein in a patient.
摘要:
This invention provides novel stem cell-based methods for treating a number of conditions. These methods employ CD34 - stem cells, and have a tremendous advantage in that they do not require myeloablation in the subject being treated. The CD34 - stem cells used in the instant methods can be genetically modified or not, depending on the disorder treated.

This invention still further provides related pharmaceutical compositions, therapeutic methods, prophylactic methods, synthetic methods, and articles of manufacture.
摘要:
This invention provides selenium-based methods for treating refractory anemia with ring sideroblasts (RARS), cancer characterized by one or more genetic mutations associated with ring sideroblasts, and porphyria. This invention also provides related prophylactic methods, and articles of manufacture.
摘要:
This invention provides a biodegradable microsphere, wherein the microsphere (i) has a diameter of from 1 ?m to 500 ?m; (ii) comprises a polylactic-co-glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) matrix; (iii) carries pharmaceutical celecoxib; and (iv) when present in a suitable joint-related tissue, releases celecoxib for at least one month. This invention also provides related injectable formulations, methods for treating joint-related disorders, and kits.
