20140205583 | USE OF PLP WITH PEG-rMETase IN VIVO FOR ENHANCED EFFICACY - This invention relates to methods of modifying pyridoxal 5′ phosphate (PLP) dependent enzymes to extend the serum half-life of the enzyme, extend the in vivo period of methionine depletion in a host, and decrease the immunogenicity of the enzyme. A preferred PLP-dependent enzyme to be modified is a methioninase, preferably a recombinant methioninase (rMETase). The invention further relates to compositions comprising a modified PLP-dependent enzyme and methods of using the same. | 07-24-2014 |
20140193801 | SCHIFF-BASE CONJUGATE OF N, N-DIBUTYL-P-PHENYLENEDIAMINE WITH PYRIDOXAL 5'-PHOSPHATE FOR IMPROVED HOMOCYSTEINE ASSAYS USING PYRIDOXAL 5'-PHOSPHATE-DEPENDENT ENZYMES - A composition, method and kit for performing a two-reagent enzymatic homocysteine assay, wherein a single homocysteinase enzyme and a Schiff-based conjugate of N,N-dibutyl-p-phenyldiamine (DBPDA) with pyridoxal 5′-phosphate (PLP) are used to measure total homocysteine in plasma or serum. The assay measures a chromophore reaction product of H | 07-10-2014 |
20140180073 | PORTABLE DIGITAL IMAGING SYSTEM FOR FLUORESCENCE-GUIDED SURGERY - A portable digital imaging system for fluorescence-guided surgery is provided. The system includes a portable probe comprising a light source, a fluorescence detector, a digital signal output, a memory and a processor. The system also includes a computer in communication with the portable probe and a display. The portable probe excites a fluorescent label-containing tissue within a surgical field in response to the light source of the portable probe illuminating the fluorescent label-containing tissue. The computer displays a real-time image visualization of the surgical field on the display in response to the computer in communication with the display receiving and processing a digital signal from the digital signal output of the portable probe. | 06-26-2014 |
20140178341 | INDIVIDUALIZED BACTERIAL TREATMENT OF PANCREATIC CANCER - An individualized bacterial treatment of cancer is provided. The treatment includes a strain of bacteria modified by in-vivo passage through tumor grafts in experimental animals, where the modified strain exhibits enhanced cancer cell-targeting of a specific malignancy arising in a unique individual to the corresponding parent strain of bacteria. The treatment uses this modified strain for the treatment human solid-tumor malignancies by inoculating an individual with a quantity of the strain; and repeating inoculations at periodic intervals where repeated inoculations tend to progressively eliminate the solid tumor malignancy in the individual. | 06-26-2014 |
20130252306 | METHODS FOR INCREASING PROTEIN POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL (PEG) CONJUGATION - The present invention relates to highly conjugated proteins and methods for making such proteins. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for linking additional sites to a protein for conjugation with activated polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers, without denaturing the protein. The invention also relates to highly conjugated proteins with decreased immunogenicity and increased circulating half-life. | 09-26-2013 |
20120316321 | METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING MARKERS FOR EARLY-STAGE HUMAN CANCER, CANCER PROGRESSION AND RECURRENCE - A method is described to identify secreted proteins identified with stages of malignancy of cancer. The proteins are initially identified by trapping them with a fluorescent protein containing vector that can insert in any gene. The secreted proteins are initially identified by their fluorescence. Secreted proteins identifying tumors with specific degrees of malignancy are isolated to determine if they can serve as markers of cancer progression. | 12-13-2012 |
20100331529 | METHODS FOR INCREASING PROTEIN POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL (PEG) CONJUGATION - The present invention relates to highly conjugated proteins and methods for making such proteins. In particular, the present invention relates to methods for linking additional sites to a protein for conjugation with activated polyethylene glycol (PEG) linkers, without denaturing the protein. The invention also relates to highly conjugated proteins with decreased immunogenicity and increased circulating half-life. | 12-30-2010 |
20100146643 | RAPID IN VIVO MODEL FOR ANGIOGENESIS - An animal model of angiogenesis is described. Nascent blood vessels are supported by a growth matrix comprising a growth factor. The nascent blood vessels are labeled with a fluorescent protein selectively expressed in cells forming these vessels. | 06-10-2010 |
20100068148 | ENHANCED RESOLUTION OF TUMOR METASTASIS USING A SKIN FLAP MODEL - A enhanced method for observing tumor progression, angiogenesis and/or metastasis in animal models in real time is described. The invention employs a skin flap over the area to be observed that can be opened and closed reversibly. The invention also permits simultaneous observation of more than one tumor by use of multiple colors. | 03-18-2010 |
20090300779 | Cancer selective auxotrophs - Bacteria that are auxotrophic for at least two amino acids found in at least one tumor are effective anti tumor treatments, labeling agents, and vaccines against infection. Improved antitumor effects can also be provided such strains by passage through an appropriate tumor model. | 12-03-2009 |
