Abstract

Microdrive and modular microdrive assembly for positioning both flexible and inflexible medical and scientific instruments, such as electrodes, mechanical probes and needles in the body of an animal, especially a conscious and freely-moving animal. The microdrive comprises a frame, a drive rod rotatably mounted to the frame, and a carriage with a threaded bore configured to hold the instrument in a position adjacent to a location on the surface of the body where the instrument is to be inserted. The drive rod has a threaded shaft, which passes through the threaded bore on the carriage so that the threads of the threaded shaft are in complementary contact with the threads of the threaded bore. Rotating the drive rod in one direction (e.g., clockwise) produces a force at the complementary contact that urges the carriage closer to the surface.

Abstract

A novel method for generating vaccine sequences is disclosed herein that preserves contiguous epitope length stretches of amino acids or nucleotides from an input pool of sequences. The method generates continuous, stepwise epitope consensus that together provides for a single globally optimized sequence. The end sequences are designed to maximize overlap between any potential epitope length sequence extract from a natural antigen sequence. The disclosed method, thus, allows one to maximize the number of potential natural epitopes that are mimicked in a resultant vaccine sequence. Various representative HIV vaccine sequences have been generated and are disclosed herein.

Abstract

The present invention provides a method for detecting autoprocessed, secreted PCSK9, a protein involved in cholesterol homeostasis, and for effectively identifying compounds that inhibit autocleavage and secretion from cells. The disclosed method involves the insertion of an epitope tag into a PCSK9 expression construct immediately C-terminal to the pro domain ending at an amino acid residue corresponding to Q152 of human PCSK9. Upon autoprocessing, the epitope tag is exposed and capable of recognition by anti-epitope antibodies or other suitable identification system, allowing for the selective and exclusive identification and/or quantification of processed PCSK9. The present disclosure thus advances the goal of providing enabling technology to the art for the effective identification of therapeutics effective in combating coronary heart disease.

Abstract

The present invention provides a means for monitoring the progression of Alzheimer s disease (AD) in an AD patient. The method comprises the construction of an AD progression panel selected from a plurality of markers that have been identified from fluid samples of AD patients to be statistically significant and differentially expressed over time. The method employs the use of a linear mixed effects model to assess the progression over time of each marker in an AD patient. The first selected set of AD progression markers changes over time in AD patients. A preferred subset of this set of AD progression markers also shows a rate of change that is significantly different between AD patients and control subjects. An alternative set of AD progression markers shows statistically significant change with progression in AD patients, where progression is measured by the changes in cognitive scores.

Abstract

The present invention relates to novel compositions and methods for potentiating the activity of biologically active molecules in conjunction with one or more delivery vehicles and one or more carrier molecules. Specifically, the invention features the use of a carrier molecule in combination with a delivery vehicle and a biologically active molecule of interest to potentiate the activity of the biologically active molecule. The carrier molecule can be biologically inert, inactive, or attenuated; or can alternately be biologically active in the same or different manner than the biologically active molecule of interest. Specifically, the invention features novel particle forming delivery agents including cationic lipids, microparticles, and nanoparticles that are useful for delivering various biologically active molecules to cells in conjunction with a carrier molecule. The invention also features compositions, and methods of use for the study, diagnosis, and treatment of traits, diseases and conditions that respond to the modulation of gene expression and/or activity in a subject or organism that are delivered intracellularly in conjunction with a carrier molecule. In various embodiments, the invention relates to novel cationic lipids, microparticles, nanoparticles and transfection agents that effectively transfect or deliver biologically active molecules, such as antibodies (e.g., monoclonal, chimeric, humanized etc.), cholesterol, hormones, antivirals, peptides, proteins, chemotherapeutics, small molecules, vitamins, co-factors, nucleosides, nucleotides, oligonucleotides, enzymatic nucleic acids, antisense nucleic acids, triplex forming oligonucleotides, 2,5-A chimeras, allozymes, aptamers, decoys and analogs thereof, and small nucleic acid molecules, such as short interfering nucleic acid (siNA), short interfering RNA (siRNA), double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), micro-RNA (miRNA), and short hairpin RNA (shRNA) molecules, to relevant cells and/or tissues, such as in a subject or organism, in conjunction with one or more carrier molecules. Such novel cationic lipids, microparticles, nanoparticles and transfection agents that are used in conjuction with one or more carrier molecules are useful, for example, in providing compositions to prevent, inhibit, or treat diseases, conditions, or traits in a cell, subject or organism.

Abstract

Bioassay-guided isolation of three anthelmintic flavones 1-3, including a new flavone, 5,6,2',5',6'-pentamethoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavone 2 from the methanol extract of Struthiola argenta (Thymelaeaceae). The two major flavones produced by this plant were also isolated and identified as yuankanin (4) and amentoflavone (5). A number of flavones related to the compounds isolated from S. argenta were acquired and tested to ascertain structure activity relationships. The isolation, structure, anthelmintic activity and structure activity relationships of flavones are described. The new compound 2 exhibited the most potent in vitro activity with 90% inhibition of larval motility at 3.1 &mgr;g/mL and compound 15 showed modest in vivo activity.

Abstract

The present invention provides nucleoside cyclic phosphoramidates of structural formula (I) which are precursors to inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral polymerase. These compounds are precursors to inhibitors of RNA-dependent RNA viral replication and are useful for the treatment of RNA-dependent RNA viral infection. They are particularly useful as precursors to inhibitors of hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase, as precursors to inhibitors of HCV replication, and/or for the treatment of hepatitis C infection. The invention also describes pharmaceutical compositions containing such nucleoside cyclic phosphoramidates alone or in combination with other agents active against RNA-dependent RNA viral infection, in particular HCV infection. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, inhibiting RNA-dependent RNA viral replication, and/or treating RNA-dependent RNA viral infection with the nucleoside cyclic phosphoramidates of the present invention.

Abstract

Antagonists of human proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 ('PCSK9') are disclosed. The disclosed antagonists are effective in the inhibition of PCSK9 function and, accordingly, present desirable antagonists for the use in the treatment of conditions associated with PCSK9 activity. The present invention also discloses nucleic acid encoding said antagonists, vectors, host cells, and compositions comprising the antagonists. Methods of making PCSK9-specific antagonists as well as methods of using the antagonists for inhibiting or antagonizing PCSK9 function are also disclosed and form important additional aspects of the present disclosure.
