20090274718 | CHIMERIC PROTEINS THAT INDUCE EFFECTS DIRECTED AGAINST VIRUSES - The present invention is related to the obtaining of chimeric chains coding for proteins capable of inducing, in the recipient, a serotype-specific and protective humoral immune response against the infection by the Dengue virus, thus eliminating the effects of the serotype-nonespecific viral immunoenhancement that causes hemorrhagies and clinical complications described for this kind of pathology. These chimeric chains of nucleic acids are composed by the specific combination of fragments belonging to the gene of a mutated protein from | 11-05-2009 |
20090312190 | Methods and Proteins for the Prophylactic and/or Therapeutic Treatment of Four Serotypes of Dengue Virus and Other Flaviviruses - The present invention is related to the field of the pharmaceutical industry, and describes a conserved area on the surface of the E protein that can be used for the development of wide-spectrum antiviral molecules to be employed in the prophylaxis and/or treatment of infections due to Dengue Virus serotypes 1-4 and other flaviviruses. The invention also covers chimeric proteins to be used as vaccines or as a prophylactic or therapeutic treatment against the four serotypes of Dengue Virus and other flaviviruses. | 12-17-2009 |
20100055118 | Peptidic Growth Hormone Secretagogues Analog Compounds and Preparations Thereof - Peptidic chemical compounds obtained by in silico molecular modelling, having a structure that enables them to perform the same functions of peptidic growth hormone secretagogues. The invention also comprises the preparations containing such compounds and the use in medicines, food additives, nutritional supplements or other formulations of human or animal use. | 03-04-2010 |
20100151566 | RECOMBINANT ANTIBODIES AGAINST THE VASCULAR ENDOTHELIAL GROWTH FACTOR (VEGF) - The present invention deals with recombinant polypeptide molecules related to antibodies, that specifically recognize the human Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor A (VEGF-A), and interfere with its in vitro stimulatory effects and pro-angiogenic activity in vivo. These recombinant polypeptide molecules affect proliferation of human endothelial cells in vitro, subcutaneous angiogenesis in mice induced by Matrigel pellets that contain VEGF-A and the growth of human tumors transplanted in nude athymic mice. Several of these moleculas prevent choroideal neovascularization in a non human primate experimental model. These molecules can be employed for passive immunotherapy in pathological entities which have in its base an abnormal increase in blood vessels, as: age-related macular degeneration (wet variant), cancer and its metastases, neovascular glaucoma, diabetic and newborn retinopathies, acute and chronic inflammatory processes, infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases, organ transplant rejection, hemangioma, angiofibroma, and others. | 06-17-2010 |
20100273702 | CHIMERICAL PEPTIDIC MOLECULES WITH ANTIVIRAL PROPERTIES AGAINST THE VIRUSES OF THE FLAVIVIRIDAE FAMILY - The present invention is relative to chimerical peptides, whose primary structure holds at least one segment which inhibits the activation of the NS3 protease of a virus from the Flaviviridae family, they also contain a cell penetrating segment and they are capable of inhibiting or attenuate the viral infection. This invention is also relative to pharmaceutical compounds which contain these chimerical peptides for the prevention and/or treatment of the infection caused by a virus of the Flaviviridae family. | 10-28-2010 |
20110200628 | Chimeric Proteins that Induce Effects Directed Against Viruses - The present invention is related to the obtaining of chimeric chains coding for proteins capable of inducing, in the recipient, a serotype-specific and protective humoral immune response against the infection by the Dengue virus, thus eliminating the effects of the serotype-nonespecific viral immunoenhancement that causes hemorrhagies and clinical complications described for this kind of pathology.
