Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110243853MODELS OF ERYTHROPOIESIS - Non human animal models are provided for diseases involving erythroid function, particularly myeloproliferative disease. The models are useful for testing and screening of biologically active agents that affect erythropoiesis, and erythroid function. In the animal models of the invention, a hematopoietic stem or progenitor cell (HSC) population that has been genetically altered by the introduction of a mutant JAK2 coding sequence is transplanted into an immunocompromised, xenogeneic, non-human recipient. The recipient animal is engrafted with the cell population at a high frequency, and develops a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by polycythemia.10-06-2011

20100330548Nucleic Acid Primers and Probes for Detecting Human and Avian Influenza Viruses - Provided are nucleic acid sequences that are used to prepare primers and probes that are used in a kinetic polymerase chain reaction (kPCR) assay to detect influenza viruses in a human or animal subject. The starting material for the kPCR assays may be DNA or RNA and the assays may be conducted in a singleplex assay to detect a single influenza virus or in a multiplex assay to detect multiple influenza viruses. The primers and probes have utility in the detection and quantification of type A and type B influenza viruses (INFA and INFB, respectively) and have been shown to be effective for the detection and quantification of all the known INFA subtypes, namely, H1, H2, H3, H4, H5, H6, H7, H8, and H9.12-30-2010

20120129764INFLUENZA A AND B VIRUS REPLICATION-INHIBITING PEPTIDES - A synthesized or isolated influenza virus replication-inhibiting peptide that competitively inhibits protein-protein interaction of the PA and PB1 of both influenza Virus Types A and B and novel in vitro binding screen to identify peptides with antiviral activity against influenza viruses of both type A and B is disclosed. In addition to the well-known pandemic influenza A viruses (such as the 1918 “Spanish” flu or H5N1), both type A and B viruses contribute greatly to the annual recurring epidemics that cause the vast majority of human cases and medical cost. Surprisingly, it was found that the novel virus replication-inhibiting, are able to inhibit protein-protein interaction of the PA and PB1 subunits of the heterotrimeric viral RNA polymerase complex of both influenza virus types A and B. The viral polymerase sub-unit interaction domain turned out as an effective target for the new antivirals, as correct assembly of the three viral polymerase subunits PB1, PB2 and PA is required for viral RNA synthesis and infectivity.05-24-2012
