  • Patent number: 6933150
    Abstract: The present invention includes methods of performing ex vivo expansion of gene-modified hematopoietic stem cells which are useful for many applications involving bone marrow transplantation and ex vivo gene therapy. The present invention further includes the gene-modified hematopoietic stem cells that are used and produced by such methods. Such gene-modified hematopoietic stem cells can also contain a second heterologous gene. In addition, the present invention also includes methods of engrafting the gene-modified hematopoietic stem cells of the present invention into animals, including for ex vivo gene therapy and for reconstitution of hematopoietic cells in ablated mammals. The present invention also provides a method of isolating stem cells.

  • Patent number: 6759238
    Abstract: The present invention relates to multi-drug resistance, specifically to multi-drug resistant protein 4 (MRP4) and uses thereof. The present invention provides nucleic acid encoding MRP4, MRP4 protein, antibody reactive to MRP4 and discloses MRP4 as perhaps the first mammalian efflux pump described for nucleoside analogs. The present invention provides the first example of a role of MRP4 in drug resistance. Certain patients who develop drug resistance to anti-microbial therapy or anti-cancer therapy may develop cellular resistance mediated by MRP4. Accordingly, the present invention possesses both diagnostic and therapeutic utility as diagnostic kits, including drug assays and screens are contemplated, as well as pharmaceutical compositions and the corresponding methods of their respective use. For example, a diagnostic kit is disclosed that may be used in order to facilitate determination of patient susceptibility to MRP4 mediated drug resistance.
