High-Affinity Mouse Monoclonal Antibodies to GPC-3 for Liver Cancer Research

Abstract: The National Cancer Institute Laboratory of Molecular Biology seeks parties for collaborative research to co-develop and commercialize antibody drug/toxin conjugates as liver cancer therapy and diagnostics. There is great interest and value in developing more sensitive and efficient agents for earlier detection of hepatocellular cancer (HCC). ...

Combination of recombinant IL-7 with Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T Cells Targeting Glypican-3 (GPC3) for the Treatment of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common type of liver cancer. standard treatment for HCC is not suitable for a large proportion of liver cancer patients. As a result, alternative treatments are needed. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy is a promising alternative approach selectively targets targeting tumors via tumor-specific...

A Specialized Tissue Collection Device for the Preservation and Transportation of Needle Biopsies

Abstract: The ability to hold and transport tissue, especially needle biopsies in a pre-defined and controlled environment is critical for the preservation of biopsy samples in downstream analytic applications. Currently, tissue specimens are placed in open containers with variable, poorly controlled solutions applied to them, often in less than sterile...

Serum Protein Biomarkers that Predict the Response to Liver Directed Therapy in Methymalonic Acidemia (MMA) and Propionic Acidemia (PA)

Isolated Methylmalonic Acidemia (MMA) comprises a relatively common and heterogeneous group of inborn errors of metabolism. The most common cause of isolated MMA is genetic deficiency of the enzyme methylmalonyl-coA mutase (MUT), which, unfortunately for the affected patients, is also the most clinically severe. NHGRI scientist have discovered biomarkers...

Substituted Quinoline Analogs as Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 1A1 (ALDH1A1) Inhibitors

Aldehyde dehydrogenase enzymes (ALDHs) have a broad spectrum of biological activities through the oxidation of both endogenous and exogenous aldehydes. Unbalanced biological activity of ALDHs has been associated with a variety of disease states such as alcoholic liver disease, Parkinson’s disease, obesity, and Cancer. Increased expression of ALDH1A1...

Real-time RT-PCR Assay For Detection and Quantification of Hepatitis D Virus Infection

CDC scientists have developed a one-step TaqMan quantitative/real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) assay for detecting hepatitis D virus (HDV) RNA. Additionally, a quantifiable synthetic RNA control to determine viral load has been created. HDV is an operatively defective virus that requires hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface...

Signatures of Genetic Control in Digestive and Liver Disorders

Our technology describes unique genetic signatures in patients with digestive diseases and liver disorders. Using comprehensive analysis of 735 microRNAs and 19,000 mRNAs, we have identified a unique set of microRNAs and/or mRNAs which predict disease phenotypes in patients with digestive and liver disorders. The identification of such point-of- care...
