US Patent:
5614371, Mar 25, 1997
Filed:
Jan 26, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/187793
Inventors:
Jerome B. Posner - New York NY
Robert B. Darnell - New York NY
Henry M. Furneaux - New York NY
Assignee:
Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research - New York NY
International Classification:
G01N 33579, C07K 1447, C07K 1900, C07K 14705
US Classification:
435 723
Abstract:
An isolated nucleic acid sequence encoding Ri paraneoplastic antigenic polypeptide is provided by this invention. This invention also provides a purified Ri antigenic polypeptide and compositions containing the purified Ri antigenic polypeptide. Further provided by this invention is a antibody directed to an epitope on the Ri paraneoplastic antigenic polypeptide. Compositions containing this antibody also are provided by this invention. This invention also provides methods of diagnosis and treatment using the compositions described hereinabove.

Method Of Purifying Rna Binding Protein-Rna Complexes

US Patent:
2005022, Oct 13, 2005
Filed:
Oct 25, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/971736
Inventors:
Robert Darnell - New York NY, US
Kirk Jensen - Maryland, AU
Jernej Ule - New York NY, US
International Classification:
C12Q001/68, C12P019/34
US Classification:
435006000, 435091200
Abstract:
The present invention provides methods for purifying RNA molecules interacting with an RNA binding protein (RBP), and the use of such methods to analyze a gene expression profile of a cell. The invention also provides sequences of RNA molecules that mediate binding to an RBP, proteins encoded by the sequences, a method of identifying the sequences, and the use of the sequences in a screen to identify bioactive molecules. The invention also provides RNA motifs found among the sequences and compounds that bind the RNA motifs. In addition, the invention provides methods of treating diseases associated with a function of an RNA binding protein.

Methods And Compositions For Tumor Vaccination And Therapy

US Patent:
7928190, Apr 19, 2011
Filed:
Jul 7, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/168629
Inventors:
Robert B. Darnell - New York NY, US
International Classification:
A61K 38/08
US Classification:
530328
Abstract:
The present invention relates to peptide vaccines, pharmaceutical compositions thereof, and associated methodologies that promote the immune-mediated regression of tumors expressing an onconeural antigen, e. g. a cdr-2 antigen, HuD antigen. The cancer peptide vaccines of the present invention are antigenic peptides capable of being faithfully presented on the MHC I complex of a target cell or antigen presenting cell. This external cellular presentation of these peptides promotes a specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated immune response against tumor cells expressing these proteins, thereby, inducing immunological reactivity.
