摘要:
The present disclosure relates to preparations, formulations and uses of a protein or peptide having thioredoxin action for treating diseases and/or conditions. One aspect of the invention is a method to decrease viscoelasticity of mucus or sputum in a patient that has excessively viscous or cohesive mucus or sputum. The method includes contacting the mucus or sputum of the patient with a composition comprising a protein or peptide comprising a thioredoxin monocysteinic active site, wherein the protein or peptide does not contain any cysteine residues except for a single Cys at the N-terminal position of the thioredoxin monocysteinic active site.
摘要:
The invention provides protegrin that are chemically modified by covalent attachment of a water soluble oligomer. A conjugate of the invention has enhanced half-life and/or reduced clearance.
摘要:
The invention provides peptides that are chemically modified by covalent attachment of a water-soluble oligomer. A conjugate of the invention, when administered by any of a number of administration routes, exhibits characteristics that are different from the characteristics of the peptide not attached to the water-soluble oligomer.
摘要:
Bacterial, yeast and animal cells and methods for overexpressing recombinant heparanase in cellular systems, methods of purifying recombinant heparanase therefrom and modified heparanase species which serve as precursors for generating highly active heparanase by proteolysis.

摘要:
This invention relates to methods and reagents for selectively labeling membrane surface proteins using a labeling agent. The label may be used to isolate preparations of membrane surface proteins. Preparations of membrane surface proteins may be analysed by a variety of high-throughput techniques to allow rapid profiling of membrane surface protein composition.

摘要:
A method is provided that accelerates the rate of kill of pests such as from the order Lepidoptera. The method comprises treating the pests or their loci with at least two different insect toxins which are expressed from at least one recombinant microbe. Pairs of toxins that do not compete with each other on the same binding site and that differ in their pharmacology have been found to provide synergistic control. Preferred insecticidal microbes are baculoviruses.
