  • Patent number: 10251949
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for treatment of HIV related diseases comprising targeting complexes between on the one hand the C5 domain of gp120 and on the other hand gp41 or the C2 domain of gp120. The complexes may be stabilised by administering compounds, such as antibodies, capable of directly interacting with and stabilising the complex, or by immunizing with C5 and gp41/C2 derived material so as to induce antibodies that bind to and stabilise the complex.

  • Publication number: 20100330612
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a substrate for measuring the electrophysiological properties of ion-channels located in cell membranes. The substrate is typically used in a screening device providing high-throughput industrialized measurements for studying ionic currents, particularly useful in the screening of drugs acting on the ion-channels found in cell membranes, by providing many parallel simultaneous and independent measurements. The substrate has one or a plurality of individually addressable electrode sites, each comprising one or more individual elongated nanosize electrodes, capable of penetrating the cell membranes during application of cells directly on the substrate, thus providing one or more low resistance contacts to the interior of the cells. This allows for an easy and effective low-cost solution to automated patch clamp measurements in the whole-cell configuration, using both single as well as multi-electrode contacts to each cell.

  • Patent number: 7709004
    Abstract: The present invention comprises novel and modified peptides capable of inducing an HIV-1 specific immune response without antagonizing the cytotoxic T-cell activity in order to achieve an effective prophylactic and therapeutic vaccine against HIV. The peptides are based on conserved regions of HIV gag p24 proteins. Antigens in free- or carrier-bound form comprising at least one of the said peptides, vaccine compositions containing at least one of the antigens, immunoassay kits and a method of detecting antibodies induced by HIV or HIV specific peptides using such antigens, are described.
