  • Targeted drug delivery methods
    Publication number: 20030219785
    Abstract: The identification of radiation-inducible genes by isolating RNA from irradiated cell cultures and then hybridizing the isolated RNA to nucleic acid sequences from an organism of interest (e.g. mammals such as mice and human beings); a method for x-ray guided drug delivery using a targeting ligand that specifically recognizes a radiation-inducible RNA target molecule; and magnetic dispersion of an active agent, such as the dispersion of a genetic construct within a tumor.

  • Method for inhibiting complement activation
    Publication number: 20030144358
    Abstract: A method of inhibiting complement activation, particularly by a transplanted tissue, in a warm-blooded vertebrate. The method includes administering a therapeutically effective amount of a platelet activity modulator to a warm-blooded vertebrate before, during or after a tissue is transplanted to the warm-blooded vertebrate, whereby complement activation by the transplanted tissue is inhibited. The platelet activity modulator can include a combination of a GPIb modulator and a GPIIb/GPIIIa modulator.
