Abstract:
Treatment of subjects experiencing cerebral ischemia is improved when the treatment employs a thrombolytic and an inhibitor against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor signal transduction (VEGF-RST) at a reduced, low dosage compared to that used to treat cancer patients. The treatment is also improved to permit point-of-care use by formulating protein drugs for long term stability at room temperature, providing doses appropriate for the method, and by combining the therapeutic agents with a point-of-care diagnostic for blood brain barrier integrity.
Abstract:
Improved formulations that combine chemical permeation enhancers with additional agents so that the formulations simultaneously penetrate both lipid and cellular matrices provide effective transdermal delivery of active agents.
Abstract:
Diagnostic methods for identifying cancer bearing subjects appropriate for treatment with CPX-351 include genetic and ex vivo testing of cells from a candidate subject. Combination treatment with CPX-351 and FLT-3 inhibitors improve CPX-351 uptake and toxicity.
Abstract:
A method to obtain high-throughput printing or dispensing of biological samples, especially for use in assay methods employs a continuous flow inkjet printer modified to dispense suitable- sized droplets of biocompatible solutions containing said biological samples.
Abstract:
Point of care methods to detect the probability or status of tuberculosis infection in individuals by determining presence or absence of one or more peptide of SEQ ID NOS: l-22 in a biological fluid of a subject are described. These methods may be assays based on affinity reagents specifically reactive with these peptides.
Abstract translation:描述了通过测定受试者的生物流体中存在或不存在SEQ ID NO:1-22的一种或多种肽来检测个体中结核病感染的概率或状态的观察点方法。 这些方法可以是基于与这些肽特异性反应的亲和试剂的测定法。
Abstract:
Lyophilized liposomal formulations with two or more encapsulated drugs are disclosed. These formulations display superior drug retention profiles and also maintain size distribution following lyophilization and reconstitution.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to a method to predict individuals who are likely to respond to immunotherapy by detecting enhanced levels of antibodies in the plasma or serum wherein the antibodies are characteristic of the response or nonresponse of pretested populations of subjects.
Abstract:
Improved methods to quantitate RNA in biological or other analytical samples employ extended RNAs containing adaptors at the 5' end and polyA sequences coupled to a tag at the 3 end. The invention method is particularly useful in quantitating microRNAs as primers can be used that need not complement the non-conserved 3' ends of these molecules.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions and methods for detecting target RNA molecules. A specialized DNA probe can be used to form RNA/DNA hybrids with target RNA molecules. Separation of the RNA/DNA hybrids increases the ease and sensitivity of detection and quantitation of the target RNA molecules.
Abstract:
This invention provides a new class of enhanced apyrases (EN-apyrases) with superior pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic, and pharmacochemical properties and which can be purified using simplified procedures. The invention further provides constructs for transforming a cell to produce these EN-apyrases. The EN-apyrase construct comprises sequences encoding a signal sequence, a linker, and a soluble apyrase. Also provided are preparations of apyrases and methods for producing apyrase in culture cells and purification thereof.
