  • Inhibitors of macromolecular activity
    Patent number: 7888005
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to methods, kits, compositions, and combinations to identify anti-infective or anti-pathogenic agents. The present invention also relates to methods, kits, compositions, and combinations directed to identifying elements of RNA metabolism related to pathogen propagation, monitoring of these RNA metabolic events, and to agents capable of interrupting RNA metabolism in a pathogen-specific fashion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 13, 2003
    Date of Patent: February 15, 2011
    Assignee: The Curators of the University of Missouri
    Inventors: Francis J. Schmidt, Farahnaz Rahmatpanah
  • DNA METHYLATION BIOMARKERS IN LYMPHOID AND HEMATOPOIETIC MALIGNANCIES
    Publication number: 20090264306
    Abstract: Differential Methylation Hybridization (DMH) was used to identify novel methylation markers and methylation profiles for hematopoieetic malignancies, leukemia, lymphomas, etc. (e.g., non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), small B-cell lymphomas (SBCL), diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (B-CLL/SLL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), multiple myeloma (MM), acute myelogenous leukemia (AML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), etc.). Particular aspects provide novel biomarkers for NHL and subtypes thereof (e.g., MCL, B-CLL/SLL, FL, DLBCL, etc.), AML, ALL and MM, and further provide non-invasive tests (e.g. blood tests) for lymphomas and leukemias. Additional aspects provide markers for diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring responses to therapies, relapse, etc., and further provide targets and methods for therapeutic demethylating treatments.
