Abstract:
Compositions of matter and methods for making, storing and administering artificial blood substitutes. Artificial blood substitutes may have oxygen carriers that encapsulate an oxygen-binding compound in a polymer vesicle. Oxygen-binding compounds may include hemoglobin, myoglobin, or other oxygen binding compounds having characteristics similar to hemoglobin. Oxygen carriers may include nanoparticles, polymers and/or polymersomes comprising of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PCL) and related diblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide)-block-poly(γ-methyl ε-caprolactone) (PEO-b-PMCL). The oxygen carriers may have tunable oxygen-binding capacities, uniform and appropriately small size distributions, and human bloodlike viscosities and oncotic properties.

Genetically Modified Rat Models For Pain

Genetically Modified Rat Models For Pain

US Patent:
2012015, Jun 14, 2012
Filed:
Aug 20, 2010
Appl. No.:
13/391309
Inventors:
Eric M. Ostertag - Lexington KY, US
John Stuart Crawford - Lexington KY, US
Karin Westlund High - Lexington KY, US
International Classification:
A61K 49/00, C12Q 1/02, A01K 67/027
US Classification:
800 3, 800 14, 435 29
Abstract:
This invention relates to the engineering of animal cells, preferably mammalian, more preferably rat, that are deficient due to the disruption of gene(s) or gene product(s) resulting in altered nervous system function. In one aspect, the altered function results in pain in the mammal. In another aspect, the nervous system dysfunction results in prolonged hyperalgesia, allo dynia, and loss of sensory function. In another aspect, the invention relates to genetically modified rats, as well as the descendants and ancestors of such animals, which are animal models of altered nervous system function mediated pain and methods of their use. In another aspect, the genetically modified rats, as well as the descendants and ancestors of such animals, are animal models of nervous system dysfunction resulting in prolonged hyperalgesia, allodynia, and loss of sensory function and methods of their use. In another aspect, the present invention provides a method of identifying a compound useful for the treatment or prevention of pain.

US Patent:
8558055, Oct 15, 2013
Filed:
Jul 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/842418
Inventors:
Eric M. Ostertag - Lexington KY, US
John Stuart Crawford - Lexington KY, US
Assignee:
Transposagen Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. - Lexington KY
International Classification:
C12N 15/00, A01K 67/033, A01K 67/027, G01N 33/00
US Classification:
800 13, 800 3, 800 25
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the engineering of animal cells, preferably mammalian, more preferably rat, that are deficient due to the disruption of gene(s) or gene product(s) resulting in cytokine-cytokine mediated autoimmune and inflammatory disease. In another aspect, the invention relates to genetically modified rats, as well as the descendants and ancestors of such animals, which are animal models of human autoimmune and inflammatory disease and methods of their use. Specifically, the invention pertains to a genetically altered rat, or a rat cell in culture, that is defective in at least one of two alleles of a cytokine gene such as the Faslg gene, the Fas gene, etc. In one embodiment, the cytokine gene is the Faslg gene. In another embodiment, the cytokine gene is one of several known cytokine genes, such as Fas, IFNγ, TNF-α, IL-2, IL-10, and IL-12. The inactivation of at least one of these cytokine alleles results in an animal with a higher susceptibility to cytokine-cytokine mediated autoimmune and inflammatory disease induction.
