    Abstract: Unregulated angiogenesis is associated with a variety of pathological conditions. Tumor growth and metastasis is dependent on the development of new blood vessels. The development of new blood vessels in the eye, or ocular neovascularization, has been implicated in a variety of serious ocular diseases. For instance, choroidal neovascularization is linked to age-related macular degeneration, while retinal neovascularization is linked to diabetic retinopathy. The present invention is based on the discovery of a peptide sequence, C16Y, which inhibits ocular neovascularization and tumor growth in vivo . C16Y is a scrambled version of the C16 peptide sequence from the y1 chain of laminin-1. Unlike C16, which is an angiogenic stimulator, C16Y has been shown to inhibit angiogenesis. The present invention discloses methods of treating ocular neovascularization and cancer using both full-length and truncated versions of the C16Y.

    Abstract: Mutations to the tumor suppressor protein p53 have been observed in 40-60% of all human cancers. These mutations are often associated with high nuclear and cytoplasmic concentrations of p53. Since many tumors exhibit highly elevated p53 levels, the protein is an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy. Unfortunately, p53 is an autoantigen that is likely to be tolerated as a self-protein by the immune system. The present invention is based on the discovery that this self-tolerance can be overcome by administration of recombinant modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) containing a nucleic acid that encodes p53 (rMVAp53). The invention discloses a method of generating a p53-specific CTL response to tumor cells expressing mutated p53 by administering a composition comprising rMVAp53. Administration of rMVAp53 decreases tumor development, tumor growth, and mortality in a variety of malignant cell types. These effects are enhanced by administration of CTLA-4 blocker and/or CpG oligodeoxynucleotide immunomodulators.

    Abstract translation: 已经在40-60%的人类癌症中观察到肿瘤抑制蛋白p53的突变。 这些突变通常与p53的高核和细胞质浓度相关。 由于许多肿瘤表现出高度升高的p53水平,蛋白质是癌症免疫治疗的有吸引力的靶标。 不幸的是,p53是一种自身抗原,可能被免疫系统的自身蛋白所耐受。 本发明基于这样的发现:通过施用含有编码p53(rMVAp53)的核酸的重组修饰的痘苗安卡拉(MVA)可以克服这种自身耐受性。 本发明公开了通过施用包含rMVAp53的组合物来产生对表达突变的p53的肿瘤细胞的p53特异性CTL应答的方法。 rMVAp53的给药减少了各种恶性细胞类型的肿瘤发展,肿瘤生长和死亡率。 通过施用CTLA-4阻断剂和/或CpG寡脱氧核苷酸免疫调节剂来增强这些作用。

    Abstract: A crosshead die (16) for a plastic optical fiber fabrication system (10) is provided. The crosshead die (16) includes a body (28), an insert (32), mounting flanges (58) on the upstream (25) and downstream end (26) for securing the crosshead die (16) to adjacent equipment or another crosshead dies (16), an axial bore (14) for receiving a mixed molten material that makes up the core, and a radial bore (36) for receiving a mixed molten material that makes up the outer layering material to be co-extruded over the core. The die insert (32) includes a material distribution channel system (70) that provides substantially the same linear distance for the mixed molten material to travel prior to the co-extrusion. If multiple die inserts are utilized, the crosshead die is able to co-extrude multiple layers over the core. If the crosshead dies are serially assembled, additional concentric layers of material can be co-extruded atop the layered plastic optical fiber extruded from the upstream crosshead die.
