Abstract: Efficient sequence specific gene silencing for cyclin-dependent kinase 4 is possible through the use of siRNA technology. By selecting particular siRNAs by rational design, one can maximize the generation of an effective gene silencing reagent, as well as methods for silencing genes. Methods, compositions, and kits generated through rational design of siRNAs are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for making nucleoside phosphoramidites and nucleic acids, including mono-, di-, and polynucleotides, comprising a linker covalently attached to a levulinyl moiety are provided. A levulinyl-protected linking moiety affords an orthogonal approach to modifying a polynucleotide during or after solid phase synthesis with a molecule of interest, for example, a conjugate or a dye.

Abstract: The present invention includes a diagnostic assay for the detection and determination of MGP in a human serum sample, which comprises the use of one or more antibodies, preferably monoclonal antibodies, specifically recognizing epitopes on and/or conformations of human Matrix Gla-Protein. A method is provided for using MGP-related antigens as biomarkers for certain diseases, for example, atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases, and angiogenesis/neogenesis in tumor development. Monoclonal antibodies of class IgG are described for use in the assay, which are defined herein as mAb3-15, mAb35-49[Glu], mAb35-49[Gla], mAb35-53[Glu], and mAb35-53[Gla]. Polyclonal antibodies and methods are also disclosed for measuring MGP in a human serum sample.

Abstract: A method of obtaining information in a specific area from at least two persons having a defined level of knowledge in that specific area. A host, upon receiving a question for information, operates a web site platform for the exchange of information using the web site to send the question to each of the at least two persons for a response together with a suggested fee for a response to the question. Where the fee is not precisely fixed and at least one response to the question is received via the web site, a value is determined by subscribers to the website.
