    摘要: This disclosure relates to methods of producing glycans from samples containing glycoconjugates using a salt of a hypohalous acid. Methods for producing N-glycans, O-glycans and lipid linked-glycans are provided. Compositions with novel O-glycans or lipid linked-glycans are provided. Methods of producing glycosaminoglycans from samples, particularly animal tissue samples containing proteoglycans, are provided.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to engineered cells, such as T-cells, comprising targeted chimeric antigen receptors. In certain embodiments, T-cell targeted chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) are expressed at higher levels when endogenous expression of a T-cell antigen is knocked-down or reduced in the T-cells. In certain embodiments, the engineered cells are immunoregulatory cells genetically modified to prevent or reduce T-cell antigen expression, or the immunoregulatory cells contain a nucleic acid that reduces or knocksdown T-cell mRNA expression, under conditions such that reduced expression of the T-cell antigen results in an increased expression of a chimeric antigen receptor compared to similarly situated immunoregulatory cells wherein the expression of the T-cell antigen is not altered or reduced. In certain embodiments, T-cell antigens include, but are not limited to, CD5, CD7 and CD3.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to the use of kinase inhibitor to treat or prevent infectious diseases such as tuberculosis. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to treating or preventing an infectious disease comprising administering an effective amount of a kinase inhibitor or other compound disclosed herein to a subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of treating or preventing tuberculosis comprising administering a kinase inhibitor to a subject in need thereof. In certain embodiments, the subject is diagnosed with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) that is resistant to multiple antibiotic agents.
