  • IMMUNE PRIVILEGED AND MODULATORY PROGENITOR CELLS
    Publication number: 20150246079
    Abstract: Described herein is a method for modulating an immune reaction between lymphocytes and a body recognized by the lymphocytes as foreign. The method exploits the immunomodulating activity of a new class of progenitor cells termed HUCPVCs derived from the perivascular region of human umbilical cord. The method can also employ soluble factors exuded by cultured HUCPVCs. The method is useful to treat immune disorders including graft versus host disease, autoimmune disorders, and the like.

  • ADMINISTRATION OF INTERFERON FOR PROPHYLAXIS AGAINST OR TREATMENT OF PATHOGENIC INFECTION
    Publication number: 20130315952
    Abstract: The invention provides compositions and methods for the prophylaxis or treatment of diseases or disorders in a subject (e.g., a mammal, such as a human) including, e.g., diseases or disorders caused by biological agents, autoimmune diseases, and cancer. The compositions include a delivery vector (e.g., a viral vector, such as an Ad5 vector) encoding an interferon (e.g., IFN-?), and are provided to the subject by, e.g., intranasal or pulmonary administration.
