  • Publication number: 20210338804
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines, recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vectors encoding the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein or an immunogenic variant thereof, recombinant replicable VSV particles having a SARS-CoV-2 S protein or an immunogenic variant thereof on the surface of the particles, and immunogenic recombinant proteins comprising a SARS-CoV-2 S protein or a variant thereof. Immunogenic compositions comprising the SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, the recombinant VSV vectors, the recombinant replicable VSV particles and/or the immunogenic recombinant proteins may be used for inducing an immune response to the SARS-CoV-2, preventing infection by the SARS-CoV-2, vaccinating against the SARS-CoV-2 and/or producing adaptive mutants of the recombinant replicable VSV particles.

  • Publication number: 20090221679
    Abstract: Using a method to measure the effect of downregulation of certain cellular proteins on HIV integration, host proteins implicated in HIV infection were identified. The identified proteins and encoding nucleic acids provide targets for inhibiting HIV infection and for evaluating the ability of compounds to inhibit HIV infection. Compounds inhibiting HIV infection include compounds targeting identified proteins and compounds targeting nucleic acids encoding the proteins.

  • Publication number: 20070203147
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to 2-aminothiazole compounds which are aspartyl protease inhibitors, and are inhibitors of both the beta-secretase enzyme and HIV protease, and that are useful in the treatment of diseases in which the beta-secretase enzyme and HIV are involved, such as Alzheimer's disease, HIV Infection and AIDS. The invention is also directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and the use of these compounds and compositions in the treatment of such diseases in which the beta-secretase enzyme and HIV protease are involved.

  • Publication number: 20070202547
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods for identifying and evaluating the binding properties of substances to the amyoid precursor protein (APP) or to ?-amyloid (A? fragments of APP. Also disclosed is a class of benzofuran derivatives of formula (I), which interact specifically with APP or A?, and block interaction of APP or A? with secreatase or APP or A? binding antibodies.

  • Publication number: 20070048320
    Abstract: Methods for identifying modulators of PPIL2 are described. The methods are particularly useful for identifying analytes that antagonize PPIL2's effect on processing of amyloid precursor protein to A? peptide and thus useful for identifying analytes that can be used for treating Alzheimer disease.

  • Publication number: 20060270841
    Abstract: The present invention provides DNA constructs, genetically engineered host cells, and methods for identifying inhibitors of amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing. The methods provide for the convenient identification, in a single assay, of inhibitors of ?-secretase and ?-secretase as well as other forms of APP processing. The methods rely on fusion proteins of APP and transcription factors in which APP processing releases the transcription factors, allowing the transcription factors to activate transcription of a reporter gene. Inhibitors are identified as substances that block or diminish transcription factor release from the fusion protein, thereby causing a diminution of reporter gene readout.
