20150018291 | The Utility of Nematode Small Molecules - The present invention relates to methods of treating immune disorders and/or inflammation using certain modulator compounds. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of treating an immune and inflammatory disorders disorder by administering a composition comprising a therapeutically effective dosage of an ascaroside compound, or a mixture of ascaroside compounds, or a mixture containing at least one ascaroside. | 01-15-2015 |
20140364386 | Small Molecule Compounds That Control Plant- and Insect-Pathogenic Nematodes - The present invention relates to methods of modifying nematode behavior using certain isolated modulator compounds. Also disclosed are methods of promoting or inhibiting reproduction in a nematode population, methods of promoting or inhibiting nematode aggregation at a first location, and methods of treating or preventing parasite infection of a plant. | 12-11-2014 |
20140303360 | Small Molecule Compounds for the Control of Nematodes - The present invention relates to compounds involved in nematode signaling. | 10-09-2014 |
20140303102 | Small Molecule Compounds that Control Mammal-Pathogenic Nematodes - The present invention relates to methods of modifying nematode behavior using certain isolated modulator compounds. Also disclosed are methods of promoting or inhibiting reproduction in a nematode population, methods of promoting or inhibiting nematode aggregation at a mammal, and methods of treating or preventing parasite infection of a mammal. | 10-09-2014 |
20130065296 | BACULOVIRUSES WITH ENHANCED VIRION PRODUCTION AND A METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF BACULOVIRUSES - A method of co-expressing a portion of the VSV G protein gene or a truncated “stem” portion with GP64 and a retrovirus increases the titer of retroviral vectors. A truncated VSV G protein, preferably comprised of a small segment from the C-terminal portion of the ectodomain plus the transmembrane (TM) and cytoplasmic tail (CTD) domains of VSV G, co-expressed with retroviral vectors, enhances the production titers of the retroviral vectors. A preferred embodiment uses a VSV G construct that includes an N-terminal c-Myc epitope plus 42 amino acids from the C-terminal portion of the ectodomain, 20 amino acids from the predicted TM domain, and 29 amino acids from the predicted CTD of the VSV G protein. | 03-14-2013 |
20100323398 | Baculoviruses With Enhanced Virion Production and a Method for the Production of Baculoviruses - The present invention provides a method for restoring budding capability to GP64null baculoviruses including gp64null AcMNPV by expressing therein a portion of the VSV G protein gene or a truncated “stem” portion of the GP64 gene. Other embodiments provide methods to use portions of the G-stem or GP64 protein to target foreign proteins for display on virions. | 12-23-2010 |
