    摘要: The present invention discloses nucleic acids, proteins, and antibodies for SALL4 (including isoforms SALL4A, SALL4B, and SALL4C), a zinc finger transcriptional factor. Further, methods are disclosed which demonstrate that constitutive expression of SALL4 increases leukemogenic potential in cells of model animal systems. Moreover, constitutive expression of select isoforms (e.g., SALL4B) in transgenic mice demonstrate that these animals develop myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)-like signs and symptoms, including subsequent acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which is transplantable. The disclosure also provides methods for identifying and purifying embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells, cancer stem cells, including leukemia stem cells, methods for identifying substances which bind to and/or modulate SALL4, methods for diagnosing MDS in a subject, and methods of treating a subject presenting MDS.

    摘要: The present invention relates generally to the fields of genetics, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry and medicine. The present invention more particularly discloses the identification of a human gene variant involved in neuropathological conditions, and methods for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of such diseases and related disorders, as well as for the screening of therapeutically active drugs. The present invention relates to catalytically active beta-secretase (Memapsin2, BACE) variants, and nucleic acids encoding them. The invention is useful in the identification of agents that inhibit the activity of a particular BACE isoform and thus agents and therapies affecting the genesis, development or progression of neuropathological conditions, including Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

    摘要: The presence of aldehydic groups on proteins and lipoproteins is associated with various pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis, diabetes and alcoholic liver disease. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe respiratory disease in infants and the elderly. RSV vaccine research has been impeded because a formalin-inactivated vaccine used in the 1960s predisposed infants to enhanced disease following subsequent natural infection. The molecular basis for the vaccine-induced hypersensitivity has not, however, been elucidated. We show here that addition of reactive carbonyl groups to ovalbumin (OVA) by treatment with glycolaldehyde or formaldehyde increases the protein's immunogenicity in mice, and biases the immune response towards a Th2-type response. The increased immunogenicity and the Th2-type response can both be abrogated by reductive elimination of the reactive carbonyl groups. We demonstrate that RSV inactivated by formaldehyde (FI-RSV), following a protocol used previously to prepare the vaccine, contains reactive carbonyl groups. Using a well-established model of FI-RSV vaccine-induced pathology, immunisation of mice with FI-RSV and subsequent challenge of the mice with live RSV induced Th2-type responses, lung eosinophilia and weight loss that were abrogated by reductive elimination of the reactive carbonyl groups. We thus propose that the addition of reactive carbonyl groups to RSV during inactivation is the major mechanism that drives the Th2-immune response and associated pathology. Moreover, we suggest that the addition of reactive carbonyl groups to other antigens, including vaccines, may be responsible for other hypersensitive and allergic reactions described in the literature.
