  • Filoviral immunosuppressive peptides and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20070185025
    Abstract: The invention provides a region of strong secondary structure conservation between the C-terminus domain of the envelope glycoprotein of filoviruses and an immunosuppressive domain found in retroviral envelope glycoproteins. The invention provides filoviral peptides and modified derivatives thereof with strong immunosuppressive bioactivity. The invention further provides methods for treatment of autoimmune disorders by administering the immunosuppressive peptide. The invention also provides methods for the identification of therapeutic agents that modulate the immunosuppressive activity of the peptides. Antibodies against the inventive peptides and the modified derivatives thereof are also provided. Furthermore, the invention provides methods for treatment of filoviral infection by administering compositions comprising the antibodies and/or the therapeutic agents that modulate the immunosuppressive activity of the inventive peptides.

  • Multiplex systems, methods, and kits for detecting and identifying nucleic acids
    Publication number: 20050239086
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for determining the presence or absence of one or more target nucleic acid sequences in a sample. Also provided are kits comprising these systems, and uses of these systems in such applications as determining the presence or absence of at least one target nucleic acid sequence in a sample, detecting microorganism transcripts and host transcripts, differentiating microorganism transcripts from host transcripts, screening blood products, assaying a food product for contamination, assaying a sample for environmental contamination, detecting genetically-modified organisms, biodefense, forensics, and genetic-comparability studies. The present invention further provides a complex that includes a target nucleic acid sequence, a capture nucleic acid, and a reporter nucleic acid.
