Recombinant Non-Replicating Virus Expressing Gm-Csf And Uses Thereof To Enhance Immune Responses

US Patent:
2004009, May 13, 2004
Filed:
Jul 16, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/297168
Inventors:
Jeffrey Schlom - Potomac MD, US
John Greiner - Ijamsville MD, US
Erik Kass - Chevy Chase MD, US
Dennis Panicali - Acton MA, US
International Classification:
A61K039/275, A61K039/285, C12N007/00, A61K048/00
US Classification:
435/235100, 424/232100, 424/093200
Abstract:
Replication-defective recombinant poxvirus encoding granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) are disclosed for use in enriching an immunization site with antigen-presenting cells (APC), for enhancing an immunological response to antigen or immunological epitopes by functioning as a biological adjuvant, for prevention or treatment of neutropenia, and for the treatment of myeloidysplastic syndromes. Compositions comprising a replication-defective recombinant virus encoding GM-CSF alone or in combination with a recombinant virus encoding an antigen and optionally encoding an immunostimulatory molecule are disclosed for enhancing antigen-specific immunological responses, in particular enhancing tumor antigen responses for anti-tumor therapy. Methods for enriching an immunization site with APC and for enhancing immunological responses to an antigen or immunological epitope using replication-defective recombinant poxvirus encoding GM-CSF are disclosed. The superiority of the use of a replication-defective recombinant avian poxvirus encoding GM-CSF over the use of recombinant GM-CSF is described.

Controlled Surgical Core Biopsy System

US Patent:
5921943, Jul 13, 1999
Filed:
Aug 18, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/912702
Inventors:
Erik S. Kass - Chevy Chase MD
International Classification:
A61B 500
US Classification:
600567
Abstract:
A controlled surgical core biopsy system that is operated with one hand. The system includes a gun unit, a needle adaptor system, and the needle assembly. The needle adaptor system links the needle assembly to the gun unit. The gun unit may have a single trigger or double triggers. The single trigger embodiment requires manual insertion of the needle assembly into the tissue of interest. Once the needle assembly is manually inserted, the single trigger controls the cocking and firing of the cutting cannula over the inner stylet to trap tissue specimens in a specimen notch. As the cutting cannula is fired, the stylet and cutting cannula may be displaced vertically to facilitate the tissue specimens being trapped in the specimen notch. The double trigger embodiment, like the single trigger embodiment, requires only one hand to operate. This embodiment includes a gun unit, a needle adaptor system, and a needle assembly.
