20110076304 | ADAPTER MOLECULE FOR THE DELIVERY OF ADENOVIRUS VECTORS - The invention relates to an adapter protein comprising a coxackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR) region and a human CD40 ligand and to the uses thereof for promoting adenoviral transduction of dendritic cells while at the same time promoting maturation of the DCs. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising said adapter protein and an adenovirus encoding an antigen and the uses thereof in a method for eliciting an immune response against the antigen encoded in said adenovirus as well as to antigen-loaded dendritic cells obtained the adaptor protein and an adenovirus and to the uses thereof in a method of eliciting an immune response against the antigen encoded in the adenovirus. | 03-31-2011 |
20110195047 | ONCOSTATIN M AS PROMOTER OF IMMUNOSTIMULATORY ACTIVITY OF HUMAN EPITHELIAL CELLS - The invention relates to the use of oncostatin M (OSM), an OSM receptor (OSMR) agonist, or a combination of OSM or a OSMR agonist with an interferon type I; in the manufacture of a medicament for enhancing the immunostimulatory activity of epithelial cells in a human. | 08-11-2011 |
20110262399 | PORPHOBILINOGEN DEAMINASE GENE THERAPY - The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences coding for human porphobilinogen deaminase that are optimised for higher expression in mammalian cells. The invention further relates to DNA constructs comprising such optimised synthetic coding sequences for use in gene therapy of conditions caused by a deficiency in porphobilinogen deaminase, such as acute intermittent porphyria. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a nucleic acid or a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleotide sequence coding for a human porphobilinogen deaminase, wherein at least 320 of the codons coding for the human porphobilinogen deaminase are identical to the codons in SEQ ID NO: 1 or wherein at least 305 of the codons coding for the human porphobilinogen deaminase are identical to the codons in SEQ ID NO: 3. | 10-27-2011 |
20110293557 | CONJUGATES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE COMPOUNDS - The invention relates to a conjugate that comprises an Apo A molecule or a functionally equivalent variant thereof and a compound of therapeutic interest wherein both components are covalently coupled as well as to the use of said conjugates in therapy for the specific targeting of said compounds to those tissues showing specific binding sites for the ApoA molecule. | 12-01-2011 |
20120220546 | COMPOSTIONS DESIGNED FOR THE INHIBITION AND/OR BLOCKING OF THE EPITHELIAL/MESENCHYMAL TRANSITION - 5′-methylthioadenosine (MTA) is described as a compound that is susceptible to inhibiting and/or blocking the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a process whereby epithelial cells become mesenchymal cells. | 08-30-2012 |
