| 20110236306 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR THE REMOVAL OF BIOFILMS - This invention provides isolated or recombinant polypeptides that are useful to vaccinate individuals suffering from chronic/recurrent biofilm disease or as a therapeutic for those with an existing infection. The individual's immune system will then naturally generate antibodies which prevent or clear these bacteria from the host by interfering with the construction and or maintenance of a functional protective biofilm. Alternatively, antibodies to the polypeptides can be administered to treat or prevent infection. Bacteria that cannot form functional biofilms are more readily cleared by the remainder of the host's immune system. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20100222265 | HEPARIN BINDING EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR (HB-EGF) FOR USE IN METHODS OF TREATING AND PREVENTING INTESTINAL INJURY RELATED TO HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK AND RESUSCITATION - The invention is related to methods of protecting, preventing and reducing intestinal injury in a human subject suffering from or at risk for shock, hemorrhagic shock or hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (HS/R) comprising administering heparin binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF). The invention is also related to methods of inhibiting deterioration of intestinal blood flow and methods of preserving and increasing intestinal blood flow by administering HB-EGF to a human subject. In addition, the methods of the invention should improve the clinical outcome of human subject suffering from or at risk for shock, hemorrhagic shock or hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100178348 | Myostatin Inhibition for Enhancing Muscle and/or Improving Muscle Function - The present invention relates to methods for inhibiting myostatin, a regulator of muscle mass, for muscle enhancement (including inducing hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia) as well as improving muscle function (including decreasing atrophy and/or increasing endurance, force and/or strength). The methods involve delivering genes to cells using gene delivery in order to inhibit myostatin. Examples of genes to be delivered are genes encoding’ proteins such as Follistatin, Follistatin-related gene-1 (FLRG-I), growth differentiation factor associated protein-1 (GASP-I) and myostatin precursor propeptide. The genes are delivered using a recombinant Adeno-associated virus (rAAV) lacking rep and cap DNA capable of infecting the cells. Following introduction, the genes are expressed in the cell body of the infected cell and the encoded proteins are secreted systemically. In other methods-of the invention expression of proteins such as activin lib and myostatin is inhibited by oligonucleotide techniques to effect muscle enhancement. All the methods have applications in the treatment of musculoskeletal and neurodegenerative disorders among others, as well as enhancing muscle in livestock. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20090291503 | Recombinant Adeno-Associated Virus Production - The present invention relates to methods and materials for recombinant adeno-associated virus production. More particularly, the invention relates to use of recombinant adenovirus encoding adeno-associated virus protein in recombinant adeno-associated virus production methods. | 11-26-2009 |
| 20090275138 | PRODUCTION OF rAAV IN VERO CELLS USING PARTICULAR ADENOVIRUS HELPERS - The present invention relates to methods and materials for recombinant adeno-associated virus production. More particularly, in some embodiments the invention contemplates the use of an adenovirus known as Simian Adenovirus 13 (SAdV-13) and Vero cells for production of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV). | 11-05-2009 |
| 20090169513 | Expression of virus entry inhibitors and recombinant AAV therefor - The present invention relates generally to the use of recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAV) for gene delivery and more specifically to the use of rAAV to deliver genes encoding human immunodeficiency virus entry inhibitors to target cells in mammals. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090035327 | Antibody Gene Transfer and Recombinant AAV Therefor - The present invention relates generally to the use of recombinant adeno-associated viruses (rAAV) for gene delivery and more specifically to the use of rAAV to deliver antibody genes to target cells in mammals. Administration of rAAV encoding antibodies that neutralize the HIV-1 virus is exemplified. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20080292634 | Nontypable Haemophilus Infuenzae Virulence Factors - The invention relates to a mutation within the sap operon of an avirulent clone of a nontypeable strain of | 11-27-2008 |
