Abstract:
Methods (300), devices, and systems of processing blood are described. The method (300) comprises the steps of: obtaining (312) blood from a patient coupled to a single blood processing device to form a closed loop between the patient and the blood processing device; collecting (314) bulk mononuclear blood cells from the blood by leukapheresis implemented using the blood processing device in the closed loop; and enriching (316) concurrently target cells separated from non-target cells in the bulk mononuclear blood cells using the blood processing device in the closed loop.
Abstract:
CNGH0011 polypeptides and nucleic acids encoding a variety of proteins have diagnostic, preventive, therapeutic, and other uses for a number of human and other animal disorders. Nucleic acid antagonist molecules (siRNA, shRNA, among others), expression vectors containing nucleic acid molecules, host cells into which the expression vectors have been introduced, fusion polypeptides, antigenic peptides and antibodies can be utilized to control the level of protein and regulate a variety of cellular processes in diagnostic, screening, and therapeutic methods.
Abstract:
Methods of treating disorders related to Oxytocin Receptor activity utilize OXYTOCIN RECEPTOR antagonists, such as antibodies, including specified portions or variants, polypeptides, polynucleotides, small molecule drugs, siRNA, shRNA, and DNAzymes. Disorders related to Oxytocin Receptor activity include inflammatory disorders, such as pulmonary disorders, for example, asthma, emphysema, and COPD.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to the production of a population of virus-specific CTLs in which the population contains an anti-virus specific gene expression construct. This population can be combined with a population of CD4+ T lymphocytes or a population of CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells and one or more of these populations of cells can be delivered to an autologous virus-positive individual. The present invention also relates to therapeutic cell products and to methods of treating diseases, particularly infectious diseases.
