The present invention includes methods and compositions for the treatment and prevention of protozoal parasitic infections utilizing Diindolylmethane-related indoles. Additive and synergistic interaction of Diindolylmethane-related indoles with other known anti-parasitic and pro-apoptotic agents is believed to permit more effective therapy and prevention of protozoal parasitic infections. The methods and compositions described provide new treatment of protozoal parasitic diseases of mammals and birds including malaria, leishmaniasis, trypanosomiasis, trichomoniasis, neosporosis and coccidiosis.

Severe glomerulonephritis involves cell necrosis as well as NETosis, programmed neutrophil death leading to expulsion of nuclear chromatin and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Histones released by neutrophils undergoing NETosis killed glomerular endothelial cells, podocytes, and parietal epithelial cells. This was prevented by histone-neutralizing agents anti-histone IgG, activated protein C and heparin. Histone toxicity on glomeruli was TLR2/4-dependent. Anti-GBM glomerulonephritis involved NET formation and vascular necrosis. Pre-emptive anti-histone IgG administration significantly reduced all aspects of glomerulonephritis, including vascular necrosis, podocyte loss, albuminuria, cytokine induction, recruitment and activation of glomerular leukocytes and glomerular crescent formation. Subjects with established glomerulonephritis treated with anti-histone IgG, recombinant activated protein C, or heparin all abrogated severe glomerulonephritis suggesting that histone-mediated glomerular pathology is a subsequent, not initial event in necrotizing glomerulonephritis. Neutralizing extracellular histones is therapeutic in severe experimental glomerulonephritis.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods, compositions and kits for controlling, managing or manipulating the non-human mammalian female reproductive cycle. The methods include oestrus induction and/or synchronisation, induction of ovulation and/or superovulation and optionally further includes a method of providing an immunopermissive uterine environment prior to insemination or implantation of embryos.
摘要:
A drug delivery device includes a blunt cannula and a reservoir. The blunt cannula has a cylindrical wall that defines an axial passage between a first end and a second end of the blunt cannula. The wall has at least a first tapered region at the first end to define an opening in fluid communication with the axial passage and adapted at the first end to resist interruption of fluid flow through the axial passage and out of the first end of the blunt cannula. The reservoir is connected to the second end of the blunt cannula
摘要:
Disclosed is the use of a fusion protein in drugs for stimulating differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells to hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells, or drugs for proliferation of granulocyte hematopoietic progenitor cells. The fusion protein has a sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 or SEQ ID NO: 4. The drugs can be used for the prevention and/or treatment of (i) hematopoietic dysfunction caused by chemotherapy, (ii) hematopoietic dysfunction caused by radiotherapy, or (iii) leukopenia.

摘要:
The present invention relates to the field of prophylaxis and therapy of cancer. In particular there is provided a protein Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) or peptide fragments here of that are capable of eliciting anti-cancer immune responses. Specifically, the invention relates to the use of IDO or peptides derived here from or IDO specific T-cells for treatment of cancer. The invention thus relates to an anti-cancer vaccine which optionally may be used in combination with other immunotherapies and to IDO specific T-cells adoptively transferred or induced in vivo by vaccination as a treatment of cancer. It is an aspect of the invention that the medicaments herein provided may be used in combination with cancer chemotherapy treatment. A further aspect relates to the prophylaxis and therapy of infections by the same means as described above.The use of IDO and immunogenic peptide fragments hereof in cancer and infection treatment, diagnosis and prognosis is also provided.
摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide Dermal Micro-organs (DMOs), methods and apparatuses for harvesting the same. Some embodiments of the invention provide a DMO including a plurality of dermal components, which substantially retain the micro-architecture and three dimensional structure of the dermal tissue from which they are derived. An apparatus for harvesting the DMO may include, according to some exemplary embodiments, a support configuration to support a skin-related tissue structure from which the DMO is to be harvested, and a cutting tool able to separate the DMO to from the skin-related tissue structure. Exemplary embodiments of the invention provide a genetically modified dermal micro-organ expressing at least one recombinant gene product. Some embodiments of the invention provide methods and apparatuses for implanting a genetically modified DMO.
摘要:
Methods and compositions are provided for combined transplantation of a solid organ and hematopoietic cells to a recipient, where tolerance to the graft is established through development of a persistent mixed chimerism. An individual with persistent mixed chimerism, usually for a period of at least six months, is able to withdraw from the use of immunosuppressive drugs after a period of time sufficient to establish tolerance.
