A Group of Compounds that Activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) that may Treat Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC)

This technology relates to the identification and use of a group of compounds that activate the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and also effectively reduce lysosomal cholesterol accumulation in patients with Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC). Clinical trials are currently underway to determine the efficacy of beta-cyclodextrin in treating patients...

Multiple Antigenic Peptide Assays for Detection of HIV and SIV Type Retroviruses

CDC scientists have developed multiple antigenic peptide immunoassays for the detection of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and/or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). HIV can be subdivided into two major types, HIV-1 and HIV-2, both of which are believed to have originated as result of zoonotic transmission. Humans are increasingly exposed to...

Human DNA Polymerase Gamma for Testing the Effect of Drugs on Mitochondrial Function

One of the primary means for treating HIV infection is the use of antiviral nucleotide or nucleoside analogs. These analogs work by inhibiting the activity of reverse transcriptase, the enzyme responsible for preparing the HIV genome for integration into the DNA of the host cell. Although these analogs do not have an effect on the polymerases responsible...

Gene Therapy for Niemann-Pick Disease Type C

Investigators at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) are seeking collaborators to further develop gene therapy to treat Niemann-Pick Disease Type C (NPC). NPC is a rare, autosomal recessive, neurodegenerative disease. Approximately 95% of patients with NPC have mutations in NPC1, a gene implicated...

Antigenic Chimeric Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus/Dengue Virus Type 4 Recombinant Viruses

The tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) complex is a group of viruses that can cause severe neutrotropic disease and up to thirty percent (30%) mortality. While these viruses can be found in many parts of the world, the largest impact of the disease occurs in Europe and Russia, where approximately fourteen thousand (14,000) hospitalized TBEV cases...

A Mouse Model of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia, Type I

The current invention embodies a mouse model which is heterozygous for a null allele at the Men1 locus of murine chromosome 19. Men1 has similar exon-intron organization and amino acid identity compared with its human analog MEN1, which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple endocrine neoplasia, type I (MENI). This mouse model has been...

Genes For Niemann-Pick Type C Disease

Niemann-Pick disease is a class of inherited lipid storage diseases. Niemann-Pick Type C disease is an autosomal recessive neurovisceral lipid storage disorder which leads to systemic and neurological abnormalities including ataxia, seizures, and loss of speech. Patients with the disease typically die as children. The biochemical hallmark of Niemann-Pick...
