Compositions and methods for therapeutic delivery are disclosed. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to nanoparticle compositions that sequester the activity of a target molecule while leaving other domains accessible to bind targeted tissues of interest. Methods for thrombus dissolution include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can dissolve a blood clot. Compositions and methods for inducing blood clotting are also disclosed. Methods for inducing blood clotting include administering a nanoparticle reversibly coupled to a target molecule that can induce the formation of a blood clot. Methods for sequestering a target molecule are also disclosed. The method includes reversibly coupling a target molecule to a nanoparticle having an affinity ligand that reversibly couples the target molecule, and thus, sequesters the target molecule activity until the target molecule interacts with its substrate resulting in the release of the target molecule.

The invention relates to the prevention and treatment of pathologic scars using APC or analogue thereof.

This disclosure provides materials and methods for treating or preventing graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) using protein C or activated protein C or a signaling-selective variant or mutant thereof.

The invention relates to wound repair and healing, particularly to dermal or cutaneous wounds including but not limited to acute and chronic wounds, burns and ulcers.

A horseshoe crab Factor C protein having activity of Factor C, wherein the horseshoe crab is selected from Tachypleus tridentatus, Limulus polyphemus, and Carcinoscorpius rotundicauda, and wherein the horseshoe crab Factor C protein is produced through being recombinantly expressed from a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) DG44 cell or HEK cell.

A method for measuring endotoxin in a test specimen, the method, comprising mixing an endotoxin assay agent and the test specimen, and measuring progress of a cascade reaction, wherein the endotoxin assay agent comprises a horseshoe crab Factor C recombinant protein having activity of Factor C and a detection substrate, under the conditions specified.

Hyper-inflammatory responses can lead to a variety of diseases including sepsis. It is now shown that extracellular histones released in response to inflammatory challenge are mediators contributing to endothelial dysfunction, organ failure and death during sepsis. As such, they can be targeted pharmacologically by inhibitors, as well as used as biomarkers for prognosis of sepsis and other diseases.
