Abstract: A process for producing a stable formulation of hydrophobic HIV Th/CTL peptides first requires the preparation of a formulation buffer containing 12.5 mM succinic acid and 3% mannitol, and adjusting the pH of the formulation buffer to 1.7 to 2.1. The hydrophobic peptides are then dissolved in the formulation buffer, filtered and lyophilized. Prior to use, the lyophilized peptides are reconstituted with 12.5 mM sodium succinate, and then mixed with at least one adjuvant to produce an immunogenic composition that is stable at 2-8° C. for at least three hours.

Abstract: Novel polymorphs, pharmaceutical compositions containing novel polymorphs, methods of using novel polymorphs and methods of preparing novel polymorphs of [1-(4-tert-Butylbenzyl)-5-(3-methylphenyl)-1H-indol-3-yl](oxo)acetic acid are described herein.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods for preparing halogenated amines.

Abstract: An oocyte recording chamber for electrophysiological measurements. The recording chamber includes a base and a cover attached to the base. The cover and the base define a chamber having a size sufficient to accommodate an oocyte. The recording chamber includes a first electrode and a second electrode that are positioned so that the tips of the electrodes penetrate the membrane of the oocyte when the cover is fastened to the base. The recording chamber also includes a third electrode and a fourth electrode exposed to the chamber and used as ground electrodes.

Abstract: This invention provides compositions, organisms and methodologies employing a novel human protein kinase, HPK3P23. The novel human kinase has sequence homology to the catalytic domains of several protein kinases. The gene encoding this novel protein kinase is localized in or near the 3p23 locus of the human chromosome 3. The sequence similarity between the novel human protein and the catalytic domain of protein kinases indicates that the novel human protein may function as a protein kinase.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutical compositions useful in treating hepatitis C infection. The present invention also provides methods of treating hepatitis C infection by administering to a mammal the pharmaceutical compositions of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to indole acetic acid compounds which function as antagonists of the CRTH2 receptor. The invention also relates to the use of these compounds to inhibit the binding of prostaglandin D2 and its metabolites or certain thromboxane metabolites to the CRTH2 receptor and to treat disorders responsive to such inhibition.

Abstract: This invention provides compositions, organisms and methodologies employing a novel human gene encoding a protein that has sequence homology to a consensus sequence of calcineurin-like phosphoesterase family are disclosed. The novel protein is encoded by a human gene comprising 4 exons. The human gene is localized in the 10p15 locus of human chromosome 10. The sequence similarities between the novel human protein and the consensus sequence of calcineurin-like phosphoesterases indicate that the novel human protein may function as a calcineurin-like protein phosphatase.
