Abstract: Methods and compositions for treating, inhibiting, and/or preventing the progression of osteoarthritis comprise compositions that blocks or inhibits the expression, induction, activity, or signaling of LRRC15 protein or the expression, transcription or activity of the LRRC15 gene and administering such compositions to a human subject having osteoarthritis and in need thereof.

Abstract: Nucleic acid molecules that encode a protein comprising at least one epitope of membrane IgE free of epitopes present on the serum IgE, including proteins that further comprise non-IgE T cell helper epitope are disclosed. Vaccines, vectors and host cells that comprise such nucleic acid molecules are disclosed. Isolated proteins, including haptenized proteins, comprising at least one epitope of membrane IgE free of epitopes present on the serum IgE, including proteins that further comprise non-IgE T cell helper epitope are disclosed. Vaccines that comprise and methods of making such proteins and antibodies that specifically bind to such proteins are disclosed. Vaccines that comprise killed or inactivated cells or particles are disclosed. Methods of treating and preventing IgE mediated allergic disease or condition are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for analyzing the risk associated with lenders offering vehicle loans is determined based on historical data associated with the vehicle. Vehicle registration data for a region is accessed to determine the vehicles registered in the region and the lien holders of the vehicles. Historical data of the vehicles is accessed and analyzed to determine if any events adversely affecting the value of the vehicles, such as vehicle title brands, are associated with the vehicles. The vehicle history data is associated with the lien holders of the vehicles. A risk value may be determined for each lien holder by comparing the lien holder's total number of liens to those liens on vehicles associated with history events adversely affecting the value of the vehicle.
