Abstract:
This invention concerns methods and means for covalent attachment of oligonucleotides to solid supports substantially at their 5'-ends. According to the invention thiol-oligonucleotides are attached to bromoacetyl-derivatized polyacrylamide supports, or conversely, bromoacetyl-oligonucleotides are immobilized on thiol-polyacrylamide supports.In a further aspect, this invention relates to bromoacetyl-oligonucleotides that may be immobilized on thiol-polyacrylamide solid supports, thiol-oligonucleotides immobilized on bromoacetyl-derivatized polyacrylamide supports as well as to methods for capture of nucleic acids by oligonucleotides attached to polyacrylamide solid supports, either by direct capture or in sandwich hybridization formats.

Abstract:
Peptide-peptidase inhibitor conjugate molecules and methods of manufacture thereof are disclosed. These conjugate molecules are useful as agents for the treatment and prevention of metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, disorders, and conditions. Such diseases, conditions and disorders include, but are not limited to, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, insulin-resistance, obesity, and diabetes mellitus of any kind, and other diabetes-related disorders.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to novel, selectable hybrid polypeptides useful as agents for the treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases and disorders which can be alleviated by control plasma glucose levels, insulin levels, and/or insulin secretion, such as diabetes and diabetes-related conditions. Such conditions and disorders include, but are not limited to, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, insulin-resistance, obesity, and diabetes mellitus of any kind, including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to novel GIP analogs and GIP hybrid polypeptides with selectable properties, useful as agents for the treatment and prevention of metabolic diseases and disorders, for example those which can be alleviated by control plasma glucose levels, insulin levels, and/or insulin secretion, positive inotropic effects, reduction of catabolic effects, slowing of gastric emptying. Such conditions and disorders include, but are not limited to, hypertension, dyslipidemia, cardiovascular disease, eating disorders, critical care, insulin-resistance, obesity, and diabetes mellitus of any kind, including type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
