Abstract: Embodiments are directed to therapeutic antibodies or antibody fragments that relieve suppression of the immune system, as well therapeutic methods using the same.

Abstract: Methods are disclosed for inhibiting or disrupting Janus tyrosine kinase 3 (Jak3) dependent function in cells of lymphoid or myeloid origin, especially for blocking proliferation and function of lymphocytes (e.g., T-cells, B-cells). A Mannich base compound, or a derivative or modified compound, is employed which is capable of selectively inhibiting Jak3 while affecting other protein tyrosine kinase activities to a lesser extent or not at all, to provide beneficial effects such as mitigation of transplant rejection and alleviation of allergic responses with fewer side effects than with conventional immunosuppressive agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides a sensor for the detection of chemical agents in real time. The sensor includes a sample region having a detector disposed about a substrate where a chemical agent binds to the detector to generate in a signal. The sensor includes a microcontroller in communication with the detector, an analog to digital converter, and a communication module to process the signal into an analytical signal. In addition, the sensor includes an antenna in communication with the microcontroller to enable a wireless communication network, wherein the analytical signal can be transmitted and a power source in operable communication with the microcontroller to supply a source of power to the sensor.
