  • Publication number: 20070037151
    Abstract: The present invention provides CD4+ T-cell epitopes in E6, E7 and E2 proteins from various strains of human papillomavirus (HPV). In some preferred embodiments, the present invention provides means for the development of HPV vaccines, in particular multivalent vaccines for the prevention of infection with high-risk HPV strains. In additional embodiments, the present invention provides means for the development of therapeutic vaccines against high-risk HPV types that prevent the development of benign and/or malignant tumors in infected individuals. The present invention further provides epitopes suitable for use in prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines.

  • Publication number: 20070027422
    Abstract: A cervical traction device includes a base, a cervical force application member, and a motor operably attached to the cervical force application member. The motor preferably drives the cervical application member through a friction drive system in order to provide a force to a person's cervical vertebrae. The friction drive system provides overload protection to prevent application of excessive traction forces to the patient.

  • Patent number: 7115368
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods, reagents, and kits for diagnosing and treating cancer in a mammal, e.g., a human. This invention is based upon the discovery that Pellino 1 or 2 is overexpressed and/or amplified in cancer. Methods to detect cancer or a propensity to develop cancer, to monitor the efficacy of a cancer treatment, and to treat cancer, by inhibiting the expression and/or activity of Pellino 1 or 2 in a cancer cell are included.
