    Abstract: The present invention provides compositions for RNA interference and methods of use thereof. In particular, the invention provides small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) having modified promoters, including the Pol III U6 promoter, which may be used to increase the potency of shRNA by increasing the expression level. Modifications include constructs with a Pol II enhancer, such as the cytomegalovirus (CMV) enhancer, immediate-early promoter near the Pol III, e.g., U6 promoter, either upstream or downstream from the shRNA sequence and in either forward or backward orientation. Such constructs are useful for increasing the expression of the shRNA, thereby enhancing inhibition of a single nucleotide mismatched mutant allele. Functional and genomic and proteomic methods are featured. Therapeutic methods are also featured.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for identifying a patient as a candidate for treatment with a long acting beta agonist comprises isolating a biological sample from a patient and identifying the presence or absence of at least one haplotype C in the beta2 -adrenergic receptor gene. The presence of at least one haplotype C in a patient sample indicates that patient is a good candidate for treatment. For example, the patient may have a respiratory disease, preferably an obstructive airway disease, and most preferably, COPD or asthma. The invention also related to a method for predicting an asthma patient's response to long acting beta2 agonist therapy comprising detecting polymorphisms in the beta2-adrenergic receptor gene.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods of detecting a target using a labeled substrate or substrate analog. The methods comprise reacting the substrate or substrate analog in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction which produces a labeled moiety with independently detectable signal only when such substrate or substrate analog reacts. The present invention, in particular, describes methods of detecting a nucleic acid in a sample, based on the use of terminal-phosphate-labeled nucleotides as substrate for nucleic acid polymerases. The methods provided by this invention utilize a nucleoside polyphosphate, dideoxynucleoside polyphosphate, or deoxynucleoside polyphosphate analogue which has a colorimetric dye, chemiluminescent, or fluorescent moiety, a mass tag or an electrochemical tag attached to the terminal-phosphate. When a nucleic acid polymerase uses this analogue as a substrate, an enzyme-activatable label would be present on the inorganic polyphosphate by-product of phosphoryl transfer. Cleavage of the polyphosphate product of phosphoryl transfer via phosphatase leads to a detectable change in the label attached thereon. When the polymerase assay is performed in the presence of a phosphatase, there is provided a convenient method for real-time monitoring of DNA or RNA synthesis and detection of a target nucleic acid.

    Abstract: Thermal interfaces and methods include an array of carbon nanotubes aligned substantively perpendicularly from a substrate. One method includes arranging metal catalyst particles (732) with a particular ligand (734) on a fluid surface (722) of a Langmuir-Blodgett trough (710). This forms uniformly spaced particles (744) with spacing based on the particular ligand (734) . The uniformly spaced metal catalyst particles (744) are deposited on a substrate and carbon nanotubes are grown on the particles using chemical vapor deposition. A highly efficient thermal interface can be produced with a carbon nanotube packing ratio greater than fifty percent and used in a thermal switch or other device. In some methods, commercially available nanotubes (842) are condensed on a substrate using carbon nanotubes with terminal carboxylic acids (844) in solution and an amine monolayer (810) on the substrate. Pretreatment of the nanotubes (250) in a switch by applying heavy pressure between two surfaces (210, 220) results in good thermal conductivity between those surfaces (210, 220) at smaller operating pressures.
