  • Patent number: 9975946
    Abstract: The present invention comprises novel compositions and methods for eliciting high immune responses, of great specificity yielding conformationally sensitive antibodies. These antibodies recognize specific epitopes on a wide variety of antigens including but not limited to, amyloid protein, prion protein, P170 glycoprotein. The novel compositions of the invention comprise supramolecular antigenic constructs generally comprising a peptide sequence, covalently attached to pegylated lysine resulting in modified and enhanced peptide presentation. The unique modification methodology of the present invention is applicable to a variety of peptides and can ultimately be employed in therapeutic formulations and vaccines for diseases and disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

  • Publication number: 20160235771
    Abstract: Inositol trisphosphate (ITPP) causes normalization of tumor vasculature and is a particularly effective cancer therapy when a second chemotherapeutic agent is administered following partial vascularization. ITPP also treats, alone or in combination, multi-drug resistant cancers. ITPP can also be used to reduce the amount of a second chemotherapeutic drug required for anticancer activity. In addition, ITPP enhances immune response and treats hyperproliferative disorders.
