  • Synthetic transfection vectors
    Patent number: 6809082
    Abstract: An inorganic particle, to which is bonded a cell binding component and a nucleic acid, is provided for delivery of a nucleic acid to a cell. The disclosed particle acts as a synthetic vector for achieving efficient transfection of associated nucleic acid into a cell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 4, 2001
    Date of Patent: October 26, 2004
    Assignee: Molecular Synthetics, Ltd.
    Inventors: Aaron Gershon Filler, Andrew Michael Lindsay Lever
  • Compositions comprising a tissue glue and therapeutic agents
    Publication number: 20020168319
    Abstract: The present invention concerns compositions comprising a radiotherapeutic agent, or an agent which can be converted to a radiotherapeutic, and a tissue glue. The compositions of the present invention are particularly useful for providing local radiotherapy. The present invention also concerns methods of using the compositions of the invention, particularly for radiotherapy.

  • Defective packaging non-oncoviral vectors based on HIV
    Patent number: 6294165
    Abstract: Novel vectors are capable of producing MPMV (Mason-Pfizer Monkey Virus) proteins but not of packaging MPMV RNA, and the information about the packaging signal in MPMV and HIV can be used to create MPMV and HIV vectors that are capable of transferring foreign genes, e.g. for use in gene therapy.
