Novel Anti-HIV Compounds Using Peptides or Peptide Mimetics

Abstract: The subject invention describes a new class of compounds (such as peptides or mimetics) that target viral RNAs and inhibit the viral life cycle by blocking the viral recognition process. More specifically, these compounds are the first against an RNA Target - currently there are no clinical drugs against RNA targets in the treatment of any...

Use of Anti-CD47 Antibodies for the Treatment of Cancer

Abstract: High expression of CD47, a cell surface receptor on several types of cancer cells, has been identified as a ‘don’t eat me signal’ that inhibits their killing by macrophages or NK cells. Conversely, the CD47 antibody B6H12 that blocks SIRPα binding enhances macrophage-dependent clearance of tumors in several mouse models, although others have...

Method and Device for Selectively Labeling RNA

Abstract: Current methods of labeling and synthesizing RNA do not allow for multiple labels or long RNA segments to be synthesized for large RNA on a milligram scale. Investigators at the NCI Structure Biophysics Lab and UT Health Science Center have developed a method to selectively label RNA at specific residues and/or segments using a hybrid solid-liquid...

Real-Time RT-PCR Assay for the Rapid Detection of Rabies and Other Lyssaviruses

Rabies occurs in more than 150 countries and territories, resulting in at least 55,000 human deaths per year worldwide according to World Health Organization estimates. Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease caused by numerous lyssaviruses that are found in a variety of animal species throughout the world. Rabies virus infects the central nervous...

Universal Diagnostic Assay for Detection and Identification of Poxviruses in Clinical Samples

CDC researchers have developed an assay for detection and diagnosis of poxviruses within clinical samples or from lab culture-systems. The assay specifically targets chordopoxviruses (except avipoxviruses) for PCR-based identification; an improvement upon the current standard of cell culturing methodologies. Individual chordopoxvirus species can cause...
