Abstract: A process to excystate protozoal sporocysts involves treatment of an infected tissue sample with a sodium hypochlorite solution to stimulate excystation of the sporocysts from the tissue. Thereafter, removal of the sodium hypochlorite solution and treatment of the sample with a cell culture media as the excystation fluid eliminates incubation and subsequent washing steps using expensive reagents. The excystation fluid contains substantially no chelating agents, proteins, enzymes or bile acids.
Abstract: Disclosed are compounds which bind VLA-4. Certain of these compounds also inhibit leukocyte adhesion and, in particular, leukocyte adhesion mediated by VLA-4. Such compounds are useful in the treatment of inflammatory diseases in a mammalian patient, e.g., human, such as asthma, Alzheimer's disease, atherosclerosis, AIDS dementia, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, tissue transplantation, tumor metastasis and myocardial ischemia. The compounds can also be administered for the treatment of inflammatory brain diseases such as multiple sclerosis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a safe and effective vaccine composition which comprises: an effective immunizing amount of an inactivated Ehrlichia canis bacterin; a pharmacologically acceptable carrier; and an immunogenically stimulating amount of an adjuvant system consisting essentially of an antibody response inducing agent and a cell-mediated immunity response inducing agent. The present invention also provides a method for the prevention or amelioration of canine ehrlichiosis in dogs.
Abstract: This application presents the discovery that the Vitamin D3 receptor (VDR), a member of the nuclear hormone ligand-activated receptor superfamily, interacts with a MNAR, a scaffolding protein. This interaction results in the formation of a ternary complex between VDR, MNAR, and the Src or PI3 kinase families of tyrosine kinases to mediate cell signaling, especially in osteoblast cells.
