Abstract: The invention relates generally to antibodies, activatable antibodies, multispecific antibodies, and multispecific activatable antibodies that specifically bind to at least CD3, as well as to methods of making and using these antibodies, activatable antibodies, multispecific antibodies, and/or multispecific activatable antibodies in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved dental drill and system of assisting patients with anxiety due to dental visits. The Audio Drill system collects data such as music and time for the purposes of receiving audio data packets from a mobile device. Mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets, Internet computers, and other hand-held mobile devices are ideal for submitting music to the proposed invention. The affiliations are determined based upon the audio date and other critical markers. The system may even be enhanced by use of features tailored by the user.

Abstract: Methods for identifying patients having or at risk of developing prostate cancer (including hormone refractory or androgen independent prostate cancer) and patients having or at risk of developing a cancer arising from metastasis if a prostate cancer to another tissue, e.g., liver and lymph node, by measuring the expression or activity of alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase are described. The invention also provides: methods of screening for compounds that can be used to treat prostate cancer (including hormone refractory or androgen independent prostate cancer) or metastases of prostate cancer by screening for compounds that modulate the expression or activity of the alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase polypeptides or nucleic acids; a process for modulating (i.e., reducing) alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase polypeptide or nucleic acid expression or activity, e.g.

Abstract: Binding proteins, such as fully human monoclonal antibodies and fragments thereof, directed to the antigen Matriptase and uses of such binding proteins are disclosed. Nucleotide sequences encoding, and amino acid sequences comprising heavy and light chain immunoglobulin molecules capable of binding to Matriptase are also disclosed. The invention also discloses cell lines expressing such immunoglobulin molecules and monoclonal antibodies to Matriptase. The antibodies can be used to detect, prevent, and treat diseases such as cancer.

Abstract: A program for purchasing homes is disclosed. The program is primarily intended for individuals with a poor or sub prime credit rating that precludes them from qualifying for conventional home loan financing. The individuals improve their credit rating as part of the program. The program is preferably operated as a franchise in which franchisees initially purchase homes on behalf of the individuals, lease the homes to the individuals according to a contract entered prior to purchasing the home and, upon successful fulfillment of the lease, the home is sold to the individual using conventional financing. The fulfillment of the lease-to-own contract assists in improving the individual's credit rating and assists in positioning the individual to qualify for conventional home loan financing.

Abstract: The invention concerns ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme-like protein (UBCLP) nucleic acid molecules, polypeptides, antibodies, and modulators. The invention also concerns screening assays which can be used to identify compounds useful for the treatment of prostate cancer and diagnostic assays which can be used to detect prostate cancer, and prognostic assays which can be used to monitor prostate cancer therapy.

Abstract: The invention is drawn is to peptides encoded by the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) env gene and their immunoprophylactic applications (prevention and treatment of feline immunodeficiency). Said peptides, capable of inducing a certain degree of protection against FIV infection are selected from the group consisting of: peptides containing 12 to 19 amino acids which correspond to the following: Lys-Lys-Gly-Leu-Gln-Gln-Leu-Gln-Glu-Trp-Glu-Asp-Trp-Val -Gly-Trp-Ile-Gly-Asn (SEQ ID NO:1); and peptides of not more than 50 amino acids comprising said sequence set forth by SEQ ID NO:1.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of KIAA0101 nucleic acids and polypeptides in prostate cancer diagnostic and drug screening methods.

Abstract: The present invention is related to vectors and methods for increasing the expression of a desired gene product. Preferably this invention is used with genes expressing proteins that are not well tolerated by mammalian cells or where high levels of expression are necessary. In certain preferred embodiments it can be used as part of a multi-tiered expression system and with methods of intracellularly targeting a molecule.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method by which one can target an undesired target molecule or target antigen, preferably an endogenous protein. The method comprises the intracellular expression of an antibody capable of binding to the target. A DNA sequence is delivered to a cell, the DNA sequence contains a sufficient number of nucleotides coding for the portion of an antibody capable of binding to the target operably linked to a promoter that will permit expression of the antibody in the cell(s) of interest. The antibody is then expressed intracellularly and binds to the target, thereby disrupting the target from its normal actions.
