20090136999 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IMMUNOTHERAPY OF CANCER AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES - The present invention provides compositions and methods for the prevention and treatment of primary and metastatic neoplastic diseases and infectious diseases, for stimulating an immune response in a subject, and for use as an alternative to interleukin-12 (IL-12) treatment. In particular, the present invention provides Apicomplexa-related proteins (ARPs) that have immune stimulatory activity and thus have uses in the treatment and prevention of cancer and infectious diseases and in immune modulation. Compositions comprising an ARP are provided. Methods of use of an ARP for the prevention and/or treatment of cancer and/or infectious diseases, for use as an alternative to interleukin-12 (IL-12) treatment, and for eliciting an immune response in a subject, are also provided. | 05-28-2009 |
20090126040 | Plant Vernalization Independence (VIP) Genes, Proteins, and Methods Of Use - The present invention relates to plant genes involved in regulating flowering, and especially to genes involved in the induction of flowering in response to cold, or vernalization. In particular, the present invention provides the identification, cloning, and characterization of genes involved in vernalization, and specifically of VIP genes, as well as to the proteins encoded by these genes, and to methods of using the VIP genes and proteins. Mutants of VIP genes, where the mutation is a knock-out mutation, confer a vernalization independence, or constitutively vernalized, phenotype in a plant which in the non-mutant form requires vernalization to flower. | 05-14-2009 |
20090044287 | Compositions and methods for drought tolerance - The present inventions relate to compositions and methods for providing drought resistant grass plants comprising | 02-12-2009 |
20090042299 | Vectors and methods for tissue specific synthesis of proteins in eggs of transgenic hens - Vectors and methods are provided for introducing genetic material into cells of a chicken or other avian species. More particularly, vectors and methods are provided for transferring a transgene to an embryonic chicken cell, so as to create a transgenic hen wherein the transgene is expressed in the hen's oviduct and the transgene product is secreted in the hen's eggs and/or those of her offspring. In a preferred embodiment, the transgene product is secreted in the egg white. | 02-12-2009 |
20090031456 | AtMIN7 mediated disease resistance to Pseudomonas syringae in arabidopsis - The present invention relates to compositions and methods for enhancing plant defenses against pathogens. More particularly, the invention relates to enhancing plant immunity against bacterial pathogens, wherein AtMIN7 mediated protection is enhanced and/or there is a decrease in activity of an AtMIN7 associated virulence protein such as a | 01-29-2009 |
20090028835 | HUMAN TRANSCRIPTOME CORRESPONDING TO HUMAN OOCYTES AND USE OF SAID GENES OR THE CORRESPONDING POLYPEPTIDES TO TRANS-DIFFERENTIATE SOMATIC CELLS - The identification of 101 genes upregulated or differentially expressed by mature human oocytes is provided herein. These genes and the corresponding gene products will facilitate a greater understanding of oogenesis, folliculogenesis, fertilization, and embryonic development. In addition these genes and the corresponding gene products can be used to effect dedifferentiation and/or transdifferentiation of desired somatic cells. The resultant dedifferentiated cells and somatic cells derived therefrom can be used in cell therapies such as in the treatment of cancer, autoimmunity, and other diseases wherein specific types of cells such as hematopoietic cells may be depleted because of the underlying disease or the treatment of the disease. | 01-29-2009 |
