Multiplexing Homocysteine in Primary Newborn Screening Assays Using Maleimides as Select Derivatization Agents

Homocystinuria (HCU), a group of inherited disorders, causes symptoms ranging from failure to thrive and developmental delays in infants or young children to abnormal blood clots with onset in adults.1 Approximately 1 in 200,000 to 335,000 people have HCU globally.2 Various clinical settings use the dried blood spot (DBS) for sample collection methods...

Novel Dopamine D2 Receptor Antagonists and Methods of Their Use

Investigators at the NIH have identified a series of novel, small molecule antagonists of the dopamine D2 receptor. Among the dopamine receptor (DAR) subtypes, D2 DAR is arguably one of the most validated drug targets in neurology and psychiatry. For instance, all receptor-based anti-Parkinsonian drugs work via stimulating the D2 DAR, whereas all FDA...

Novel Recombinant Rabies Vaccine Also Capable of Immunocontraception

This invention relates to a recombinant, attenuated rabies vaccine that is also capable of inhibiting reproductive fertility. An Evelyn-Rokitnicki-Abelseth (ERA) rabies vaccine backbone, combined with a reproductive-specific protein, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) or the sperm-binding zona-pellucida-glycoprotein-3 (ZP3) receptor, allows...

Diagnostic Assays Utilizing Real-Time Taqman or Seminested RT-PCR for Parechovirus Detection and Discrimination

The CDC developed a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) Taqman assay and an RT-semi nested PCR (RT-snPCR) assay for the detection of parechoviruses. Similar to enteroviruses, parechoviruses are responsible for gastrointestinal, respiratory and central nervous system infections. All tests target conserved regions in the...

CC Chemokine Receptor 5 DNA, New Animal Models and Therapeutic Agents for HIV Infection

Chemokine receptors are expressed by many cells, including lymphoid cells, and function to mediate cell trafficking and localization. CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a seven-transmembrane, G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) which regulates trafficking and effector functions of memory/effector T-lymphocytes, macrophages, and immature dendritic cells....
