20130183312 | MODULAR TARGETED THERAPEUTIC AGENTS AND METHODS OF MAKING SAME - Provided herein are methods for making targeted therapeutics. In several embodiments, the therapeutics are directed against soluble agents such as toxins, venoms, and/or other factors that alter physiological biopathways as well as methods of using such therapeutics to treat patients or patient populations to reduce, eliminate, or inactivate, detrimental soluble agents that such patients or patient populations have been exposed to. In several embodiments, the therapeutics are directed to patient-specific disease markers. In several embodiments, the methods comprise screening a library comprising proteins linked to their cognate mRNAs to identify mRNA-protein pairs that bind to the diseased cells, isolating one or more proteins from the identified mRNA-protein pairs, and conjugating the isolated protein(s) to a therapeutic agent. | 07-18-2013 |
20130129769 | METHOD FOR MAKING TARGETED THERAPEUTIC AGENTS DIRECTED TO SOLUBLE TARGETS - Provided herein are methods for making targeted therapeutics that target soluble agents such as toxins, venoms, and factors that alter physiological biopathways as well as methods of using such therapeutics to treat patients or patient populations to reduce, eliminate, or inactivate, detrimental soluble agents that such patients or patient populations have been exposed to. In several embodiments the targeted therapeutics comprise a portion that interacts with a soluble agent of interest and a second portion that interacts with a subject's immune system, which enables treatment of a patient for exposure to the soluble agent. | 05-23-2013 |
20120237539 | METHOD FOR MAKING TARGETED THERAPEUTIC AGENTS DIRECTED TO SOLUBLE TARGETS - Provided herein are methods for making targeted therapeutics that target soluble agents such as toxins, venoms, and factors that alter physiological biopathways as well as methods of using such therapeutics to treat patients or patient populations to reduce, eliminate, or inactivate, detrimental soluble agents that such patients or patient populations have been exposed to. In several embodiments the targeted therapeutics comprise a portion that interacts with a soluble agent of interest and a second portion that interacts with a subject's immune system, which enables treatment of a patient for exposure to the soluble agent. | 09-20-2012 |
20110212119 | METHODS FOR MAKING HIV VACCINES AND RELATED COMPOSITIONS - Provided herein are methods and kits for making a targeted therapeutic for prevent and treating HIV infection. In one of these methods, the method includes preparing a library of soluble peptides, and screening the library for proteins that bind to the region of CD4 that binds gp120. In this particular method, these proteins are used as the antigen to make the HIV vaccine. | 09-01-2011 |
20110212114 | METHOD FOR MAKING TARGETED THERAPEUTIC AGENTS - Provided herein are methods and kits for making a targeted therapeutic for treating a disease or condition. The therapeutic agents can be targeted to patient-specific disease markers. In one of these methods, the method includes obtaining a biological sample from a patient having the disease or condition, or who is at risk for developing the disease or condition. In this particular method, the sample includes a population of diseased cells, screening a library comprising proteins linked to their cognate mRNAs to identify mRNA-protein pairs that bind to the diseased cells, isolating one or more proteins from the identified mRNA-protein pairs, and conjugating the isolated protein(s) to a therapeutic agent. Some of the methods further include preparing a library with proteins linked to their cognate mRNAs. In certain of these methods, the preparation of the library includes providing at least two candidate mRNA molecules in which each of the mRNA molecules includes a cross-linker, translating at least two of the candidate mRNA molecules to generate at least one translated protein, and linking at least one of the candidate mRNA molecules to its corresponding translated protein via the cross-linker to form at least one cognate pair. | 09-01-2011 |
20100113302 | GENERATION OF LIBRARY OF SOLUBLE RANDOM POLYPEPTIDES LINKED TO mRNA - Methods and compositions are provided for producing libraries of soluble random polypeptides. In the methods, the fraction of hydrophilic residues in the polypeptide is controlled so as to maintain the solubility of the polypeptide constructs. | 05-06-2010 |
20080199499 | Method for Making Targeted Therapeutic Agents - Provided herein are methods and kits for making a targeted therapeutic for treating a disease or condition. The therapeutic agents can be targeted to patient-specific disease markers. In one of these methods, the method includes obtaining a biological sample from a patient having the disease or condition, or who is at risk for developing the disease or condition. In this particular method, the sample includes a population of diseased cells, screening a library comprising proteins linked to their cognate mRNAs to identify mRNA-protein pairs that bind to the diseased cells, isolating one or more proteins from the identified mRNA-protein pairs, and conjugating the isolated protein(s) to a therapeutic agent.
