20130251704 | MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES AGAINST ORTHOPOXVIRUSES - The present invention relates to monoclonal antibodies that bind or neutralize Orthopoxviruses. The invention provides such antibodies, fragments of such antibodies retaining B5 or A33 binding ability, fully human antibodies retaining B5 or A33 binding ability, and pharmaceutical compositions including such antibodies. The invention further provides for isolated nucleic acids encoding the antibodies of the invention and host cells transformed therewith. Additionally, the invention provides for prophylactic, therapeutic, and diagnostic methods employing the antibodies and nucleic acids of the invention. | 09-26-2013 |
20130012497 | METHODS FOR DETECTING ADHD SUSCEPTIBILITY AND PREDICTING SEVERITY AND LONG TERM OUTCOME OF ADHD SYMPTOMS - The invention provides methods of determining an altered susceptibility to develop ADHD, methods of predicting or determining the severity of symptoms of ADHD and associated disorders, and methods of treatment based on the presence or absence of one or more alleles of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. | 01-10-2013 |
20110171260 | INFLUENZA DNA VACCINATION AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to an influenza immunogen that includes one or more DNA constructs encoding at least two divergent influenza HAs, wherein each of such one or more DNA constructs encodes one or more of the at least two divergent influenza HAs. Such an immunogen, when administered to a subject, induces an immune response to a plurality of strains of influenza virus, wherein at least one strain of the plurality of strains does not encode any of the divergent influenza HAs encoded by the immunogen. The divergent influenza HAs can be swine influenza HAs or equine influenza HAs, such as influenza H1 HAs or influenza H3 HAs. The invention also relates to a method to use such an immunogen to induce such an immune response as well as to DNA constructs comprising such divergent influenza HAs. Such an immunogen can provide a heterologous as well as a homologous immune response. Such an immunogen can be used to induce an immune response against evolving influenza virus. | 07-14-2011 |
