  • METHODS FOR TREATING HCV
    Publication number: 20160237491
    Abstract: The present invention features therapies for the treatment of HCV comprising direct-acting antiviral agents. Preferably, the treatment is administered to an HCV-infected patient who has been tested to determine methylation status of a CpG island within a promoter region of the IL28B gene. In one aspect, the therapies comprise administering one or more direct acting antiviral agents and, optionally ribavirin, to a subject with HCV infection. For example, the therapies comprise administering to the subject effective amounts of therapeutic agent 1, therapeutic agent 2, therapeutic agent 3, an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (e.g., ritonavir), and/or ribavirin.

  • Methods for the detection of HTLV-II antibodies employing novel HTLV-II NRA envelope peptides
    Patent number: 6406841
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a novel human T-cell lymphotropic, or leukemia, virus type II (HTLV-II) isolate designated NRA. HTLV-IINRA was originally isolated from a patient with atypical hairy cell leukemia. Preliminary restriction analysis of this isolate demonstrated that it differs genetically from the prototypical HTLV-II isolate Mo. HTLV-IINRA proviral molecular clones were obtained and the entire nucleotide sequence of the virus ascertained. The claimed invention is particularly directed toward the gp46 and p21e envelope proteins encoded by the env gene. Methods and kits for the detection of HTLV-II antibodies employing these envelope proteins are also described.
