Abstract: A method and composition for repelling and/or controlling at least one pest. The method comprising contacting at least one subject, article and/or locus with a composition comprising (i) 2-undedanone, 2-tridecanone or a mixture thereof; and (ii) neem plant, part and/or extract thereof.

Abstract: Insecticidal compounds comprising an insecticidal peptide (e.g., juvenile hormone esters) or nucleic acid (e.g. Ea baculovirus) or insecticide covalently conjugated to a polymer are described. Methods of use thereof for controlling insects and compositions containing the same are also described.

Abstract: Murine monoclonal antibodies specific to the tumor marker galactosyltransferase II (GT-II) which have no measurable cross-reactivity with galactosyltransferase I (GT-I) are described. These antibodies are used in assays to determine levels of GT-II in serum or other body fluid samples, which levels, depending on their magnitude, are indicators of cancer.
