20140378109 | Simulated Citizens' Band Conferencing System - An internet-based conferencing system simulates the experience of Citizens' Band (CB) radio communications without the use of CB radio transceivers. Instead of direct RF links between participants, the CBI system employs a combination of user-resident application software, central server-based conferencing software, GPS location data, and Voice over IP (VoIP) or voice over cellular technology. In the set-up procedure of the application software, the participant selects an alias CB-style “handle” and a caricature picture, neither of which disclose the true identity or location of the participant. Since the participants are known only by their alias and caricature, their anonymity is preserved, thereby enabling greater freedom of expression and interpersonal tolerance. Participants do not select the other participants in their conference, but are assigned to a virtual “channel” based on a selected conference category and proximity criteria, thereby simulating the serendipity of CB radio communications. | 12-25-2014 |

Antigens may also be immunogenic peptides or polypeptides that are processed and presented. In one embodiment, a nanoparticle -based method to deliver antigens in vivo as described herein includes injection of a vaccine composed of a DNA encoding at least one antigen, or at least one antigenic peptide or polypeptide conjugated to a charged dendrimer (e.g., PADRE-derivatized dendrimer) that is also conjugated to a T helper epitope (e.g., PADRE). Negatively-charged plasmids bind naturally to a positively-charged PADRE-dendrimer, while peptide or polypeptide antigens can be chemically linked to the PADRE-dendrimer if they are not negatively-charged. Alternatively, negatively-charged dendrimers may be used. The compositions, kits, vaccines and methods described herein have both prophylactic and treatment applications, i.e., can be used as a prophylactic to prevent onset of a disease or condition in a subject, as well as to treat a subject having a disease or condition. A vaccine as described herein can be used to mount an immune response against any infectious pathogen or cancer. | 04-19-2012 |
20140182004 | MOUSE MODEL OF RETINAL DEGENERATION - The invention is directed to a method of producing a non-human mammal having one or more pathological characteristics of retinal degeneration and/or age-related macular degeneration. In particular, the invention provides a method of producing a non-human mammal having age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The invention is also directed to non-human animals produced by the methods described herein. Methods of identifying an agent for use in inhibiting one or more pathological characteristics of retinal degeneration and/or AMD is also encompassed by the invention. Also provided is a method of treating AMD in an individual in need thereof comprising, administering to the individual an agent identified herein. | 06-26-2014 |

20120213704 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MOLECULAR IN VIVO IMAGING AND THERANOSTICS - Systems and methods of characterizing biological tissues are provided. In the systems and methods, a first optical coherence tomography (OCT) image of a selected portion of biological tissues combined with a plurality of nanoparticles is obtained, where the plurality of nanoparticles are configured to bind to one or more types of biological molecules in the biological tissues and to produce contrast during OCT imaging. The systems and methods also include estimating a first distribution of the plurality of nanoparticles in the selected portion based on the first OCT image and characterizing the selected portion with respect to the types of biological molecules based on the distribution. | 08-23-2012 |
