METHODS AND KITS FOR THE ENRICHMENT AND DETECTION OF DNA AND RNA MODIFICATIONS AND FUNCTIONAL MOTIFS
Publication number: 20220162675Abstract: Provided herein are methods for mapping modified nucleotide residues in nucleic acids. The methods include providing a nucleic acid sample in which non-target or target modified and unmodified nucleotide residues are converted to form of a different nucleotide (such a “C” being converted to “T”). Second strand synthesis is then performed on the converted nucleic acids using a set of anchored-base primers. Each primer in the set of anchored-base primers comprises one or more anchor bases at the 3? terminus that are complementary to the target nucleotide (e.g., “G” or “CpG”), and a sequence of nucleotides selected from a set of sequences that could be a fully or partially degenerate set of sequences. For example, the sequence could be 5?-XnG-3? and/or 5?-X(n?1)CG-3?, wherein X is any base, and n=2 to 25. Double-stranded nucleic acid products can be analyzed, for example by amplification and high throughput sequencing.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2020Publication date: May 26, 2022Applicants: Active Motif, Inc., Active Motif, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin F.

Publication number: 20210388065Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant monoclonal antibodies that bind to the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2 or COVID-19) spike protein, and methods of use. In various embodiments of the invention, the antibodies are fully human antibodies that bind to SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. In some embodiments, the antibodies of the invention are useful for inhibiting or neutralizing SARS-CoV-2 activity, thus providing a means of treating or preventing COVID-19 infection in humans. In some embodiments, the invention provides for a combination of one or more antibodies that bind to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein for use in treating COVID-19 infection. In certain embodiments, the one or more antibodies bind to distinct non-competing epitopes comprised in the receptor binding domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2020Publication date: December 16, 2021Applicants: ACTIVE MOTIF SHANGHAI LIMITED, SHANGHAI PUBLIC HEALTH CLINICAL CENTER, FUDAN UNIVERSITY, SHANGHAI PUBLIC HEALTH CLINICAL CENTERInventors: Yanan LU, Fei LAN, Jianqing XU, Xi ZHAO, Longfei DING, Yongheng WANG, Jinkai WAN, Shenghui XING, Joseph FERNANDEZ

Patent number: 6841535Abstract: Peptides that are useful as transfection agents are described. The peptides can facilitate the efficient cellular internalization of a broad range and size of compounds that when non-covalently complexed therewith are efficiently internalized into a cell. Advantages include but are not limited to excellent transfection efficiency, relatively low toxicity, internalization by a broad host cell spectrum, and the simplicity and cost-effectiveness that arise from not having to covalently complex the peptide with a specific molecule to be delivered. Applications include but are not limited to the delivery of diagnostics and therapeutics, as well as drug discovery, gene discovery, and the analysis and/or manipulation of other cellular and molecular biological functions. Claims are made for transfection agents, compositions of matter, including pharmaceutical compositions, reagent kits, methods of delivery, and methods of identification of additional peptides for performing and/or including in the same.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2001Date of Patent: January 11, 2005Assignees: Active Motif, Centre National de la Recherche ScientifiqueInventors: Gilles Divita, May C.
