101 Enzyme and Preparation Method US10598280 2005-03-07 US20080020416A1 2008-01-24 Mark McAlister; Antonio Pineda-Lucena
A method for preparing a soluble protein comprising urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA) or an active fragment thereof, or a variant of either of these which has uPA activity, which method comprises contacting said protein with a buffer at a pH of from 8.5-10.5, said buffer comprising a reducing agent and an oxidising agent which forms a redox pair, wherein the reducing agent is present in excess compared to the oxidising agent, and wherein the reducing agent is present in a concentration of at least 5 mM. Material obtainable in this way forms a further aspect of the invention. It has been refolded in a “native-like” form and is useful in studies such as N.M.R. analysis to detect ligands.
102 Targeting of Herpes Simplex Virus to Specific Receptors US11677026 2007-02-20 US20070243170A1 2007-10-18 Bernard Roizman; Guoying Zhou
The invention relates to engineered herpes simplex virus (HSV) particles that are targeted to one or more specific binding pair members, such as receptors. Also, recombinant vectors for producing such HSV particles are provided. By reducing the affinity of HSV for its natural receptor(s) and increasing the affinity for a selected receptor, the HSV particles of the invention are useful for targeting cells that express the selected receptor, which itself may be a product of genetic engineering. The ability to selectively target cells renders the HSV particles particularly useful in selectively diagnosing, treating, and imaging cells bearing the selected binding pair member, such as a receptor. The invention also provides for polynucleotide-based therapy to cells bearing the selected binding pair member such as a receptor.

104 Malarial animal model having a chimeric human liver US11207176 2005-08-17 US07273963B2 2007-09-25 Norman M. Kneteman; John B. Sacci, Jr.; D. Lorne Tyrrell; John F. Elliott; Abdu F. Azad
The present invention features a non-human animal model of malaria, e.g., Plasmodium, particularly Plasmodium falciparum. The model is based on a non-human, immunocompromised transgenic animal having a human-mouse chimeric liver, where the transgene provides for expression of a urokinase-type plasminogen activator in the liver. The invention also features methods for identifying candidate therapeutic agents, e.g., agents having anti-pathogenic activity against malaria.
105 Methods, devices, and compositions for lysis of occlusive blood clots while sparing wound sealing clots US11447455 2006-06-06 US20070148160A1 2007-06-28 Victor Gurewich; Jian-Ning Liu; Paolo Sarmientos
It has now been discovered that certain mutant forms of pro-urokinase (“pro-UK”), such as so-called pro-UK mutant “M5” (Lys.sup.300.fwdarw.His)-, perform in the manner of pro-UK in lysing “bad” blood clots (those clots that occlude blood vessels), while sparing hemostatic fibrin in the so-called “good” blood clots (those clots that seal wounds, e.g., after surgery or other tissue injury). Thus, these pro-UK mutants are excellent and safe thrombolytic agents. These advantages allow them to be used in a variety of new methods, devices, and compositions useful for thrombolysis and treating various cardiovascular disorders in clinical situations where administration of other known thrombolytic agents has been too risky or even contraindicated.

116 Cyclic peptide ligands that target urokinase plasminogen activator receptor US10744927 2003-12-22 US20040204348A1 2004-10-14 Terence R. Jones; David N. Haney; Janos Varga; Andrew P. Mazar
uPAR-targeting cyclic peptide compounds have 11 amino acids that correspond to human uPA(20-30) nullSEQ ID NO:2null, or are substitution variants at selected positions. The N and C terminal residues of these peptides are joined by a linking group L, so that the linear dimension between the null-carbons of the first and the eleventh amino acids is between about 4 and 12 Angstrom units. These cyclic peptides may be further conjugated to diagnostic labels or therapeutic moieties such as radionuclides. Such compounds are useful for targeting uPAR expressed in pathological tissues and for inhibiting the binding of uPA to the uPAR. The pharmaceutical and therapeutic compositions inhibit cell migration, cell invasion, cell proliferation or angiogenesis, or induce apoptosis, and are thus useful for treating diseases or condition associated with undesired cell migration, invasion, proliferation, or angiogenesis, most notably cancer. The cyclic peptides are also used to detect and isolate cells expressing uPAR.
