Potentiating Antibody Therapy by Targeting Complement Deposited on Cancer Cells

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become a mainstay of therapy for many cancers. However, antibody therapy is not completely effective in some applications due to loss of the target surface antigen on cancer cells. Such mAb-induced “escape variants” are no longer sensitive to the therapeutic mAb therapy. It was observed that the escape variants carried...

Human Monoclonal and Bispecific Antibodies Targeting SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus

SARS-CoV-2 is a virus of the Coronavirus family that has emerged as a major public health concern. The first cases of SARS-CoV-2 were reported in China and rapidly spread worldwide leading to a global pandemic. The highest morbidity and mortality have been reported in the elderly and immunocompromised. Antibody therapeutics have great importance for...

Reducing Bloodstream Neutrophils as a Treatment for Lung Infection and Inflammation

During lung infection, bloodstream neutrophils (PMNs) responding to infection travel to the airspace lumen. Although successful arrival of microbicidal PMNs to the airspace is essential for host defense against inhaled pathogens, excessive accumulation of PMNs in the lung contributes to the pathogenesis of several prevalent lung disorders, including...

COMBINATION THERAPIES FOR COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2)

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel RNA enveloped coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2 when the virus enters human airway cells via an ACE2-mediated entry process. This entry pathway is facilitated by the cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG), which enhances viral attachment to the cell surface. Researchers at NIDDK and NCATS...

Human and Veterinary Cancer Therapeutic Agent Utilizing Anthrax Toxin-Based Technology

Due to the disorganized nature of blood vessels that run through tumors, chemotherapeutic agents often fail to penetrate tumors and kill cancer cells at the tumor’s center. This can lead to ineffective chemotherapeutic treatments, because tumors can quickly grow back if the entire tumor is not destroyed. NIH researchers have developed a therapeutic...

Engineering Neural Stem Cells Using Homologous Recombination

Methods for modifying the genome of a Neural Stem Cell (NSC) are disclosed. Also, methods for differentiating NSCs into neurons and glia are described. NSCs are multipotent, self-renewing cells found in the central nervous system, capable of differentiating into neurons and glia. NSCs can be generated efficiently from pluripotent stem cells (PSCs)...
