Antibodies and methods for generating genetically altered antibodies with enhanced effector function

Dominant negative alleles of human mismatch repair genes can be used to generate hypermutable cells and organisms. By introducing these genes into cells and transgenic animals, new cell lines and animal varieties with novel and useful properties can be prepared more efficiently than by relying on the natural rate of mutation. These methods are useful for generating genetic diversity within immunoglobulin genes directed against an antigen of interest to produce altered antibodies with enhanced biochemical activity. Moreover, these methods are useful for generating antibody-producing cells with increased level of antibody production. The invention also provides methods for increasing the effector function of monoclonal antibodies and monoclonal antibodies with increased effector function.

External addition of pulses to fluid channels of body to release or suppress endothelial mediators and to determine effectiveness of such intervention

Methods of medical treatment and diagnosis using mediators released by endothelial cells stimulated by external addition of pulses to the circulation are disclosed. The external pulses produce circumferential shear stress in body fluid channels that subsequently stimulates the endothelial cells to produce mediators that become available for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. The preferred means of adding external pulses is the mechanical inducement of periodic acceleration of the body or parts of the body by a reciprocating motion platform.

Constructs and Methods for Delivering Molecules via Viral Vectors with Blunted Innate Immune Responses

A CpG-modified recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector is described. The vector carries a nucleic acid molecule comprising AAV inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences and an exogenous gene sequence under the control of regulatory sequences which control expression of the gene product, in which the nucleic acid sequences carried by the vector are modified to significantly reduce CpG di-nucleotides such that an immune response to the vector is reduced as compared to the unmodified AAV vector. Also provided are methods and regimens for delivering transgenes using these AAV viral vectors, in which the innate immune response to the vector and / or transgene is significantly modulated.
