The present invention provides glycan-interacting antibodies and methods for producing glycan-interacting antibodies useful in the treatment and prevention of human disease, including cancer. Such glycan-interacting antibodies include monoclonal antibodies, derivatives, and fragments thereof as well as compositions and kits comprising them. Further provided are methods of using glycan-interacting antibodies to target cells and treat disease.

Compounds of Formula (I) are provided herein. Such compounds, as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts and compositions thereof, are useful for treating diseases or conditions, including conditions characterized by excessive cellular proliferation, such as cancer and tumors, as well as viral infections such as HIV.

This invention provides for prodrug Compounds I, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and their use in treating HIV infection.

##STR00001## wherein: X is C or N with the proviso that when X is N, R.sup.1 does not exist; W is C or N with the proviso that when W is N, R.sup.2 does not exist; V is C; E is hydrogen or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and Y is selected from the group consisting of

##STR00002##

Also, this invention provides for intermediate Compounds II useful in making prodrug Compounds I.

##STR00003## wherein: L and M are independently selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl, phenyl, benzyl, trialkylsilyl, -2,2,2-trichloroethoxy and 2-trimethylsilylethoxy.

A series of S-triazolyl α-mercaptoacetanilides having general structure (1) are provided, where Q is CO.sub.2H, CONR.sub.2, SO.sub.3H, or SO.sub.2NR.sub.2. The compounds inhibit several variants of the reverse transcriptase of HIV, and are useful in the treatment of HIV infections.

A previously unrecognized fundamental property of α.sub.1PI is to regulate the phenotypic composition of circulating and tissue-associated cells derived from hematopoietic stem cells. The present invention comprises screening for various unmodified and modified α.sub.1PI's which are useful in the treatment of abnormalities in the number of cells of myeloid or lymphoid lineage that are associated with HIV-1 infection, microbial infection, leukemia, solid tumor cancers, atherosclerosis, autoimmunity, stem cell transplantation, organ transplantation, and other diseases affected by cells of the immune system. The interaction of α.sub.1PI with its receptors, HLE.sub.cs and LRP, influences the level of cells of different lineages. Genetic and proteolytic modification of α.sub.1PI is used to target these receptors to increase or decrease specific cell populations, as needed, in the various disease states.

Disclosed herein are phosphoramidate prodrugs of nucleoside derivatives for the treatment of viral infections in mammals, which is a compound, its stereoisomer, salt (acid or basic addition salt), hydrate, solvate, or crystalline form thereof, represented by the following structure:

##STR00001##

Also disclosed are methods of treatment, uses, and processes for preparing each of which utilize the compound represented by formula I.

The present invention provides novel compounds useful as proteasome inhibitors. The invention also provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the compounds of the invention and methods of using the compositions in the treatment of various diseases.

The present invention relates generally to the field of recombinant fatty acid synthesis, particularly in transgenic plants. The application describes genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and provides methods and vectors for the manipulation of fatty acid composition of plant oils. In particular, the invention provides constructs for achieving the integration of multiple heterologous genes involved in fatty acid synthesis into the plant genome, such that the resulting plants produce altered levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also described are methods for enhancing the expression of fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes by co-expressing a silencing suppressor within the plant storage organ.

The present invention includes compositions and methods for the expression, secretion and use of novel compositions for use as, e.g., vaccines and antigen delivery vectors, to delivery antigens to antigen presenting cells. In one embodiment, the vector is an anti-CD40 antibody, or fragments thereof, and one or more antigenic peptides linked to the anti-CD40 antibody or fragments thereof, including humanized antibodies.

Monoclonal neutralizing antibodies are disclosed that specifically bind to the HIV-1 gp41 membrane-proximal external region (MPER). Also disclosed are compositions including the disclosed antibodies that specifically bind gp41, nucleic acids encoding these antibodies, expression vectors including the nucleic acids, and isolated host cells that express the nucleic acids. The antibodies and compositions disclosed herein can be used for detecting the presence of HIV-1 in a biological sample, or detecting an HIV-1 infection or diagnosing AIDS in a subject. In additional, the broad neutralization breadth of the disclosed antibodies makes them ideal for treating a subject with an HIV infection. Thus, disclosed are methods of treating and/or preventing HIV infection.
