Therapeutic compositions and methods for treating HIV including identification and manipulation of particular domains associated with immunogenicity.
COMPLIMENT FACTOR I BIOASSAY
The present invention relates to a CFI bioactivity assay designed to quantitatively measure (a) CFI bioactivity of plasma or other body fluids; and (b) bioactivity of CFI in plasma or other body fluids of a human patient afflicted by a disease that involves amyloid deposition in tissues, in particular Alzheimer disease, AMD, glaucoma, or beta-amyloid cataract formation.
USE OF INHIBITORS OF BINDING BETWEEN A PAR-1 RECEPTOR AND ITS LIGANDS FOR THE TREATMENT OF GLIOMA
The present invention relates to a method of treating glioma in a subject. The method comprises selecting a subject having a glioma, providing an inhibitor of binding between a PAR-1 receptor and a ligand of the PAR-1 receptor, and administering the inhibitor to the selected subject under conditions effective to treat the glioma and/or prevent spread of tumor cells. Methods for inhibiting proliferation of glioma cells and/or precursors thereof and a method of screening for compounds suitable for treating glioma in subjects are also disclosed.
ENERGY DRINKS AND OTHER NUTRITIONAL AIDS DERIVED FROM AGAVE-BASED SPIRITS
Compositions containing monoamine oxidase inhibitors prepared by removal of alcohol from agave-derived beverages are disclosed.
METHODS OF IDENTIFYING MODULATORS OF SESTRIN-GATOR-2 INTERACTION AND USE OF SAME TO MODULATE mTORC1
The present invention provides methods of identifying modulators of mTORC1 based upon their effect on GATOR2-Sestrin binding or Sestrin-leucine binding; and the use of such modulators to alter mTORC1 activity in a cell and to treat disease and conditions that are effected by mTORC1 activity.
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS INVOLVING LAYILIN
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for treating an autoimmune disorder or cancer in a subject. In some embodiments, the methods include the use of modified T cells (e.g., CD8.sup.+ T cells) that have high layilin expression. In other embodiments, the methods include the use of layilin-binding proteins. Also provided herein are methods and compositions for identifying modulators of layilin or beta-integrin complex interaction.
