Abstract: The present invention relates to providing new vaccines and treatments for the diseases related to canine influenza virus. It discloses influenza viral antigens, and methods of presenting these antigens to canines, especially dogs. It relates to attenuated and killed vaccines. The present invention relates to experimentally generated canine and equine influenza viruses. invention also includes influenza A, including H3, N8, H3N8, H7N7 and viruses which contain at least one genome segment from an canine or equine influenza virus. The present invention also relates to the use of these viruses in therapeutic compositions to protect canines, dogs in particular, from diseases caused by influenza viruses.

The invention also provides the use of the exendin-4/Tf fusion proteins for treatment of Type II diabetes, obesity, and to reduce body weight.

Abstract: Gram negative bacterial virulence genes are identified, thereby allowing the identification of novel anti-bacterial agents that target these virulence genes and their products, and the provision of novel gram negative bacterial mutants useful in vaccines.

Abstract: Highly purified preparations of TFPI or TFPI analogs can be prepared using a method that generally involves the following steps: (1) expression of TFPI or TFPI analog in E. coli, (2) isolation of refractile bodies, (3) dissolution of the refractile bodies and refolding of the expressed TFPI or TFPI analog, (4) SP-Sepharose fast flow (FF) chromatography, (5) a first concentration and diafiltration step, (6) Q-Sepharose high (HP) performance chromatography, (7) butyl hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC), (8) SP-Sepharose HP chromatography, and (9) a second concentration/diafiltration step. Less than about 12% of the TFPI or TFPI analog molecules in such preparations are modified TFPI or TFPI analog species (i.e., oxidized, carbamylated, acetylated, deamidated, aggregated, or misfolded species).

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and compositions related to the generation of host cells permissive for virus growth, particularly Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) virus.
