    摘要: Modified polypeptides based on the botulinum neurotoxin A heavy chain containing the double mutation Trp-Tyr->Leu-Ser in the ganglioside binding motif Ser-X-Trp-Tyr do not bind polysialogangliosides and nerve endings. The polypeptides are useful in the preparation of nontoxic vaccines against the effects of C. botulinum infection. The modified polypeptides are also useful as vehicles for the transepithelial delivery of diagnostic and therapeutic entities, through formation of conjugates between the polypeptides and the diagnostic or therapeutic entities.

    摘要: MicroRNA genes are highly associated with chromosomal features involved in the etiology of different cancers. The perturbations in the genomic structure or chromosomal architecture of a cell caused by these cancer-associated chromosomal features can affect the expression of the miR gene(s) located in close proximity to that chromosomal feature. Evaluation of miR gene expression can therefore be used to indicate the presence of a cancer-causing chromosomal lesion in a subject. As the change in miR gene expression level caused by a cancer-associated chromosomal feature may also contribute to cancerigenesis, a given cancer can be treated by restoring the level of miR gene expression to normal. microRNA expression profiling can be used to diagnose cancer and predict whether a particular cancer is associated with an adverse prognosis. The identification of specific mutations associated with genomic regions that harbor miR genes in CLL patients provides a means for diagnosing CLL and possibly other cancers.

    摘要: The miR15 and miR16 micro RNA genes are located at 13q14 within a 30 kb region of loss characteristic of cells from certain cancers, such as cells from chronic lymphocytic leukemia or prostate cancer. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia or prostate cancer can be diagnosed by detecting a reduction in miR15 or miR16 gene copy number, by determining miR15 or miR16 gene mutational status, or by detecting a reduction in the RNA transcribed from these genes. The miR15 or miR16 gene products can inhibit the neoplastic or tumorigenic growth of cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia or prostate cancer cells when administered to subjects suffering from these diseases.

    摘要: Recombinant rabies viruses in which the arginine residue of the glycoprotein (G) at amino acid position 333 is exchanged, renders these viruses nonpathogenic for immunocompetent mammals regardless of the route of infection. Some of these recombinant rabies viruses after several serial virus passages in newborn mice can become pathogenic for adult mice. The reversion to the pathogenic phenotype is associated with a thymidine to adenosine mutation (T→A) at position 639 of the G gene, which results in an asparagine to lysine exchange at position 194 of G. The codon at position 637-639 was changed by site directed mutagenesis to replace asparagine at position 194 by an amino acid that minimized the possibility for an Asn→Lys exchange at amino acid position 194 of G and prevents reversion to a pathogenic form of the virus.

    摘要: The application concerns a method of identifying compounds that can be used to inhibit undesired human CD4+ T cell immune responses by identifying compounds that block the interaction of CD4 and MHC, class II, gene products and a method of treatment which comprises administering such an identified compound. The compounds that inhibit undesired human CD4+ T cell immune responses can be used to treat disease such as multiple sclerosis and to prevent graft rejection and graft versus host disease. More specifically, the application concerns compounds having molecular weights between about 1400 and 400 that mimic three portions of the human CD4 lymphocyte cell surface antigen. The portions are residues 29-35, the C—C′ loop of the D1 domain; residues 317-323, the C—C′ loop of the D4 domain; and residues 346-353, the CDR3 or FG ridge of the D4 domain of the CD4 molecule. Specific examples of such compounds include cyclic peptides and peptidomimetic.
