| 20100203099 | MULTI-DOMAIN AMPHIPATHIC HELICAL PEPTIDES AND METHODS OF THEIR USE - Disclosed herein are peptides or peptide analogs with multiple amphipathic α-helical domains that promote lipid efflux from cells via an ABCA1-dependent pathway. Also provided herein are methods of using multi-domain amphipathic α-helical peptides or peptide analogs to treat or inhibit dyslipidemic disorders. Methods for identifying non-cytotoxic peptides that promote ABCA1-dependent lipid efflux from cells are also disclosed herein. | 08-12-2010 |
| 20100143881 | Selective detection of human rhinovirus - A process for detecting human rhinovirus nucleic acid in a biological sample, includes producing an amplification product by amplifying an human bocavirus nucleotide sequence using a forward primer of SEQ ID NO: 1, and a reverse primer of SEQ ID NO: 2, and measuring said amplification product to detect human rhinovirus in said biological sample. Also provided are reagents and methods for detecting and distinguishing human rhinovirus from other viruses. A kit is provided for detecting and quantifying human rhinovirus in a biological sample. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100135958 | METHOD FOR TREATING CANCER IN HUMANS - A method of treating and/or preventing cancer in a subject, preferably mammalian, more preferably human, by administering in an effective amount IL-21 polypeptide, polynucleotide, vector comprising an IL-21 nucleic acid sequence encoding an IL-21 polypeptide, variants, and fragments thereof, thereby acting as an anti-cancer agent by reducing, ameliorating, and/or eliminating the cancer; and a method of treating and/or preventing cancer in a subject by co-administering the IL-21 polypeptide, polynucleotide, IL-21 vector, variant, and fragments thereof, with an immunotherapeutic and/or chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment and/or prevention of cancer in a subject. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20090093066 | GLYCATED PEPTIDES AND METHODS OF USE - The invention provides glycated peptides and glycated fragments and glycated variants thereof, antibodies and aptamers which bind thereto, compositions and kits comprising the same, related conjugates, and a database comprising data indicating the concentration of glycated peptides present in diabetic and non-diabetic persons. The invention also provides a method of monitoring glycemic control, a method of treating or preventing diabetes, a method of preventing a complication of diabetes, a method of monitoring the status of diabetes, a method of determining the efficacy of a diabetes treatment, as well as methods of detecting diabetes or a predisposition thereto. | 04-09-2009 |
| 20090023695 | METHOD OF MAKING AND USING 7alpha,11beta-DIMETHYL-17beta-HYDROXYESTR-4-EN-3-ONE 17-UNDECANOATE - Methods of using 7α,11β-dimethyl-17β-hydroxy-4-estren-3-one bucyclate (I) and 7α,11β-dimethyl-17β-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one 17-undecanoate (II) | 01-22-2009 |
