The present invention provides cancer peptides related to rapid replication and shared among different histological cancer types. The peptides are provided in compositions for interfering with replication in cancer, in preventive and therapeutic vaccines, and in diagnostic applications. The compositions for interfering with replication in cancer are useful for preventing and treating different histological types of cancer including ectodermic, endodermic, and mesodermic cancers as well as cancers arising in association with HIV.
摘要:
Peptides of influenza virus hemagglutinin protein and Plasmodium falciparum malaria antigen, antibodies specific for the peptides, influenza vaccines, malaria vaccines and methods of stimulating the immune response of a subject to produce antibodies to influenza virus or malaria are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods for formulating vaccines for influenza virus.
摘要:
A method and system are disclosed for identifying and/or locating complex patterns in an amino acid sequence stored in a computer file or database. According to an aspect of the present invention, techniques are provided to facilitate queries of protein databases. For protein descriptions received in response to the queries, embodiments of the present invention may scan the received protein descriptions to identify and locate Replikin patterns. A Replikin pattern is defined to be a sequence of 7 to about 50 amino acids that include the following three (3) characteristics, each of which may be recognized by an embodiment of the present invention: (1) the sequence has at least one lysine residue located six to ten amino acid residues from a second lysine residue; (2) the sequence has at least one histidine residue; and (3) at least 6% of the amino acids in the sequence are lysine residues.
摘要:
Described herein is the production of two products which are distinct species of human anti-malignin antibody, and the production of a cell line which has the distinguishing characteristic of manufacturing both species of anti-malignin antibody at different times. These anti-malignin products are useful to detect the presence of cancerous or malignant tumor cells. Additionally, these anti-malignin products preferentially attach to cancerous or malignant tumor cells in cell collections in vitro or in vivo and thus can be detected by any visible or other signal emitter attached to said anti-malignin product. This preferential attachment to malignant tumor cells also makes these products useful for metabolic and therapeutic purposes with or without an attached cytotoxic agent.
摘要:
The process for producing polypeptide products which are useful in tests for malignant cells is disclosed. The polypeptide products produced by this process are also disclosed. The process employs the steps of extraction of acidic fractionation and formation of a precipitate in the quantitative precipitin test and the Ouchterlony gel diffusion test. The product is characterized by being soluble in acidic solution, insoluble in basic solution, having a particular spectrophotometric absorption and an amino acid residue composition of high proportions of glutamic and aspartic acids and high ratios of glutamic and aspartic acids to histidine.
摘要:
Described herein is the production of two products which are distinct species of anti-malignin antibody, and the production of three artificially produced species of cell each of which has the distinguishing characteristic of manufacturing either one or both species of anti-malignin antibody. These anti-malignin products are useful to detect the presence of cancerous or malignant tumor cells. These anti-malignin products attach preferentially to cancerous or malignant tumor cells in cell collections in vitro or in vivo and thus can be detected by any attached visible or other signal emitter. This preferential attachment to malignant tumor cells also makes these products useful for metabolic and therapeutic purposes.
