Abstract: Peptide compounds, and compositions containing the peptide compounds, and methods for using the peptide compounds to treat infections, wounds, enhance acceptance of grafts such as skin grafts and organ grafts, and enhance the sensitivity of a bacterial pathogen to an antibiotic to which the bacterial pathogen has developed resistance.

Abstract: Peptide compounds and compositions containing the peptide compounds and methods for treating various infections, wounds, and skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis. Examples of wounds that may be treated include surface wounds such as lacerations, abrasions, avulsions, incisions, and amputations, pressure sores, bed sores, wounds due to peripheral vascular disease, post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers and wounds, burns, ocular wounds and abrasions, ocular ulcers, and treatment of inflammatory conditions such as dry eye. The peptide compounds and compositions may be used as treatments to enhance acceptance of grafts such as skin grafts and organ grafts.

Abstract: Compositions comprising antibodies raised against CAP37 and isoforms thereof, along with antigen binding fragments thereof, are disclosed. These compositions have many uses, such as in detection of CAP37 and as an early detection marker for various disease conditions. In addition, the compositions may be used therapeutically to inhibit, mitigate, or modulate certain cellular activities involving CAP37 or to monitor a disease progression or the success of a disease treatment.

Abstract: The present invention in one embodiment uses detection of isoforms of CAP37 as an early detection marker for a chronic inflammatory-associated disease. Chronic inflammatory-related diseases may include, for example, atherosclerosis, psoriasis, and osteoarthritis. The invention is also directed to isoforms of CAP37 protein having apparent molecular weights of about 135 kDa (±15 kDa) and about 100 kDa (±15 kDa) as assessed by SDS PAGE under reducing conditions, and their use as biomarkers for the presence of a chronic inflammatory-associated disease in a subject. The invention is also directed to monoclonal and/or polyclonal antibodies raised against such isoforms of CAP37 protein and kits and diagnostic tests comprising these antibodies.
