  • Publication number: 20180072784
    Abstract: The invention provides peptides that bind Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI), including TFPI-inhibitory peptides, and compositions thereof. The peptides may be used to inhibit a TFPI, enhance thrombin formation in a clotting factor-deficient subject, increase blood clot formation in a subject, and/or treat a blood coagulation disorder in a subject.

  • Patent number: 9884105
    Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to materials and methods for production of an improved vaccine against influenza virus, wherein the vaccine comprises a reassortant virus having a hemagglutinin gene and a neuraminidase gene from the same influenza A virus subtype or influenza B strain of virus and internal genes from a different influenza A virus subtype or influenza B strain of virus. In one aspect, the HA and NA genes and the internal genes are from a highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of influenza A.

  • Patent number: 9834593
    Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery of polyclonal IgG's ability to promote Schwann cell maturation, differentiation, and myelin production. Methods for treating non-idiopathic, demyelinating peripheral neuropathies in mammals, where the neuropathy is not immune-mediated or infection-mediated, through the administration of polyclonal IgG are provided. Types of demyelinating peripheral neuropathies treatable with the present invention include peripheral nerve trauma and toxin-induced peripheral neuropathies. Alternatively, a composition of polyclonal IgGs can be applied directly to a peripheral nerve cell to induce maturation, differentiation into a myelinating state, and myelin expression or promote cell survival.

  • Publication number: 20170267743
    Abstract: The present invention is related to peptides that can be used to reduce the immune response against FVIII or to induce tolerance to human FVIII in patients with, e.g., hemophilia A. Furthermore, the peptides can be used for immunodiagnostic purposes to detect FVIII-specific CD4+ T cells to monitor patients with hemophilia A during replacement therapy and during immune tolerance induction therapy.

  • Publication number: 20170121735
    Abstract: The present invention relates to recombinant viral vectors and methods of using the recombinant viral vectors to induce an immune response to influenza A viruses. The invention provides recombinant viral vectors based, for example, on the non-replicating modified vaccinia virus Ankara. When administered according to methods of the invention, the recombinant viral vectors are designed to be cross-protective and induce heterosubtypic immunity to influenza A viruses.
