Bacterial inhibitors

Xie, Hua
Jul 2019
Peptides related to certain portions of the arginine deiminase enzyme from the bacterium Streptococcus cristatus are provided that disrupt the formation and composition of biofilms containing the oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, and also modulate the virulence of P. gingivalis. Pharmaceutical compositions containing such peptides and method of using the same are disclosed.

Anti-Trail Antibodies and Methods of Use

Boico, Olga; Tzaban, Salit; Oved, Kfir; Cohen-Dotan, Assaf; Eden, Eran
May 2019
An antibody comprising an antigen recognition domain that binds specifically the extracellular domain of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) between amino acids 95-155 and/or amino acids 190-210 is disclosed. Uses thereof are also disclosed.

Methods of Selecting Binding Reagents

Mallick, Parag; Egertson, Jarrett
Feb 2019
Methods and systems are provided herein for selecting an affinity reagent which binds a desired peptide epitope in a plurality of sequence contexts. The method relies on obtaining a peptide library, each peptide having the sequence αΧβ, wherein X is the desired peptide epitope, wherein each of a and β comprise an amino acid, using the peptide library to select an affinity reagent.

Novel targets of acinetobacter baumannii

Urwyler, Simon; Haake, Markus; Rudolf, Michael
Jan 2019
The present invention provides antigenic polypeptides expressed during an infection by a pathogenic organism, such as Acinetobacter and compositions comprising these polypeptides. The invention further provides compositions for use in treating, preventing or detecting a bacterial infection, in particular vaccine compositions using the antigenic polypeptides. The invention further provides antibodies directed to said antigenic polypeptides.

Soybean Allergy Related Epitopes

Kern, Karolin; Spiegel, Holger; Havenith, Heide; Szardenings, Michael
Nov 2018
The invention relates to a compilation comprising at least five different peptides, each peptide comprising at least one sequence element corresponding to an epitope selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO.: 1-354, wherein at least five different epitopes are represented. The invention further relates to an in vitro method for determining a patient’s immune status to soybean allergens, to a method for detecting at least one soybean allergen in a substance and to a method for determining the allergenicity of a soybean variety. Additionally, the invention relates to a kit comprising at least one composition containing a compound comprising at least five different sequence elements each corresponding to an epitope selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO.: 1-354, wherein at least five different epitopes are represented. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a peptide comprising a sequence element corresponding to an epitope for providing a molecule binding to a protein or peptide comprising the epitope.
