20100183653 | Fusion Proteins Comprising CD4 Minimal Modules and Methods of Use Thereof - Fusion proteins comprising CD4 minimal modules that bind to HIV Env polypeptides in a non-CD4 backbone are described. Also described are complexes of these fusion proteins with Env as well as methods of diagnosis, treatment and prevention using the polynucleotides and polypeptides are also provided. | 07-22-2010 |
20100047271 | VACCINE COMPOSITIONS - The present invention relates generally to an immunogenic complex comprising a charged organic carrier and a charged antigen and, more particularly, a negatively charged organic carrier and a positively charged antigen, wherein the charged antigen is a polyprotein of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), particularly the core protein of HCV, or a fragment thereof, or a fusion protein comprising the polyprotein or a fragment thereof. The complexes of the present invention are useful, inter alia, in vaccine compositions as therapeutic and/or prophylactic agents for facilitating the induction of immune responses, and in particular a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response, in the treatment of a disease condition which results from an HCV infection. | 02-25-2010 |

20090258033 | HCV E1E2 vaccine compositions - HCV E1E2 compositions comprising E1E2 antigens, submicron oil-in-water emulsions and/or immunostimulatory nucleic acid sequences are described. The compositions can be used in methods of stimulating an immune response in a vertebrate subject. | 10-15-2009 |
20090143322 | CELL TRANSFECTING FORMULATIONS OF SMALL INTERFERING RNA RELATED COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USE - Compositions incorporating small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) and certain lipid-conjugated polyamide compound-based delivery vehicles that are particularly useful in the delivery siRNA and other polynucleotides to cells. Also, methods of making and using the compositions. | 06-04-2009 |
20090117113 | Immunogenic And Therapeutic Compositions For Streptococcus Pyogenes - Group A streptococcal (GAS) antigens useful for providing immunity against | 05-07-2009 |
20090060912 | SMALL MOLECULE PI 3-KINASE INHIBITORS AND METHODS OF THEIR USE - Compounds having formula I are provided where the variables have the values described herein. | 03-05-2009 |
20090036321 | Methods for predicting the course of a malignant disease - The present invention relates to methods of predicting the course of malignant disease and more specifically to methods which use SERPINE2 as a prognostic indicator of disease in cancer patients. | 02-05-2009 |
20080317744 | Indole and Benzimidazole Derivatives - The present invention relates to new indole and benzimidazole compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, esters or prodrugs thereof, compositions of the new compounds together with pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, and uses of the new compounds. The compounds of the invention have the following general formula: | 12-25-2008 |
20080286279 | Treatment of Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia by Administration of Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (Tfpi) - Methods for prophylactically or therapeutically treating severe pneumonia involve administration of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) or a TFPI analog to patients suffering from or at risk of developing this condition. The methods involve the use of continuous intravenous infusion of TFPI or a TFPI analog, preferably at low doses to avoid adverse side effects. | 11-20-2008 |
20080254065 | Influenza Virus Vaccines - The invention provides a vaccine for protecting a human patient against infection by a human influenza virus strain, wherein the vaccine comprises an antigen from an avian influenza virus strain that can cause highly pathogenic avian influenza. The antigen can invoke an antibody response in the patient that is capable of neutralising said human influenza virus strain. Whereas the prior art used known non-pathogenic avian strains to generate antibodies in humans against known pathogenic avian strains, the invention uses known pathogenic avian strains to protect against emerging pathogenic human strains. Furthermore, whereas the prior art focused on achieving a close antigenic match between the vaccine strain and the target strain, the invention selects vaccine strains based on their pathogenicity, regardless of any perceived close antigenic relationship to the target strain. As the invention does not require detailed knowledge of an emerging strain, a vaccine can be provided further in advance to reduce the risk and potential effects of a human pandemic outbreak. | 10-16-2008 |
20080249112 | Mitotic Kinesin Inhibitors - The present invention relates to compounds that are useful for treating cellular proliferative diseases, for treating disorders mediated, at least in part, by KSP, and for inhibiting KSP. The invention also related to pharmaceutical compositions comprising such compounds, methods of treating cancer by the administration of such compositions, and processes for the preparation of the compounds. Compounds of the invention have the following formula: formula (I). | 10-09-2008 |
