Abstract: Compositions can be used to stimulate growth of a hair shaft from a hair follicle. These compositions can include methylated polynucleotides useful in treatment of autoimmune diseases or conditions, including those, such as alopecia areata, that result in hair loss.

Abstract: The subject technology relates generally to compositions and methods for producing plasmid DNA of a desired quality. In addition, it relates to the discovery of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria with a constitutive methylase gene stably incorporated into the chromosomal DNA and uses thereof.

Abstract: Methods for preventing, delaying the onset of, or treating rejection of an allograft using a DNA vaccine, where the vaccine can comprise a polynucleotide encoding a pro-apoptotic protein, like BAX and/or a polynucleotide encoding an autoantigen or donor antigen, like secreted glutamic acid decarboxylase 55. Administering one of the DNA vaccines to a transplant recipient, as described herein, can induce a donor specific tolerogenic response.

Abstract: Mammalian host cells for use in a cell-mediated tranfection process, which contain an RNAi molecule and an expression vector for a pro-apoptotic protein. The method includes inducing apoptotic cell (AC) death in mammalian cells that contain an RNAi molecule capable of downregulating a chosen target gene. Living cells expressing the target gene are then exposed to the ACs. The ACs are processed by the living cells, and the RNAi molecule in the ACs downregulates the expression of the target gene in living cells.

Abstract: A substance or a composition for preventing, delaying the onset of or treating one or more than one immune-mediated inflammatory disorder in an organism who is susceptible to developing the immune-mediated inflammatory disorder, who is developing the immune-mediated inflammatory disorder or who has the immune-mediated inflammatory disorder. A method of preventing, delaying the onset of or treating an organism who is susceptible to developing the immune-mediated inflammatory disorder, who is developing the immune-mediated inflammatory disorder or who has the immune-mediated inflammatory disorder.
