Methods for the isolation and analysis of cellular protein content

The present invention describes devices and methods for performing protein analysis on laser capture microdissected cells, which permits proteomic analysis on cells of different populations. Particular disclosed examples are analysis of normal versus malignant cells, or a comparison of differential protein expression in cells that are progressing from normal to malignant. The protein content of the microdissected cells may be analyzed using techniques such as immunoassays, 1D and 2D gel electrophoresis characterization, Western blotting, liquid chromatography quadrapole ion trap electrospray (LCQ-MS), Matrix Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization / Time of Flight (MALDI / TOF), and Surface Enhanced Laser Desorption Ionization Spectroscopy (SELDI). In addition to permitting direct comparison of qualitative and quantitative protein content of tumor cells and normal cells from the same tissue sample, the methods also allow for investigation of protein characteristics of tumor cells, such as binding ability and amino acid sequence, and differential expression of proteins in particular cell populations in response to drug treatment. The present methods also provide, through the use of protein fingerprinting, a rapid and reliable way to identify the source tissue of a tumor metastasis.

Suppression of transplant rejection

The present invention relates to a transplant rejection in an animal suppressed by administration of an antibody directed at a cell surface antigen selected from the group consisting of CD4, CD8, CD154, LFA-1, CD80, CD86 and ICAM-1, preferably an anti-CD4 antibody, together with a non-cellular protein antigen to generate in the animal a population of regulatory T-lymphocytes; reactivating said population of regulatory T-lymphocytes by further administration to the animal of the non-cellular protein antigen; and transplanting said organ or tissue whilst said population of regulatory T-lymphocytes is activated. Regulatory T cells can be generated ex vivo by culturing T cells with an antibody directed at a cell surface antigen selected from the group consisting of CD4, CD8, CD154, LFA-1, CD80, CD86 and ICAM-1, in the presence of cells that present either alloantigen or a non-cellular protein antigen. Ex vivo generated T-lymphocytes can be used as an alternative method of overcoming transplant rejection or in combination with the in vivo method. A similar approach can be adopted for the treatment of autoimmune conditions.

Methods for the production of insulin in plants

Commercial production of human insulin can be affected via transgenic expression in plant seeds. Thus, levels of insulin accumulation exceeding 0.1% of total cellular protein can be achieved recombinantly, through expression of the insulin with a single-chain antibody as a fusion partner. Production in seeds offers flexibility in storage and shipment of insulin as a raw material, and insulin retains its activity upon extraction from stored seed. Further, the amount of biomass subjected to extraction is limited, due to the relatively low water content of plant seeds.

Rapid identification of pharmacological targets and Anti-targets for drug discovery and repurposing

A computing system automatically analyzes various drug or other compound targets using biologic activity data for cellular proteins, and develops a target / anti-target matrix identifying pharmacologically responsive targets intended for drug engagement, and pharmacologically responsive anti-targets intended for avoidance of drug engagement. The system separates compounds into subsets based on biological threshold data and groups proteins through pharmacological similarity. The system ranks protein groupings in generating the matrix and uses the rankings to recommend compounds and compound groupings for testing to treat a pathology. The system compares new compounds against the matrix to recommend new compounds for testing.

Disclosed is a cyclophilin protein with PPIase activity functioning as an antioxidant. When being overexpressed in transplanted cells, the cyclophilin protein remarkably reduces the cytotoxicity induced by cyclosporin A or its analogues so that it can greatly improve the success rate in transplantation. Also, disclosed is a composition useful to prevent transplant rejection, comprising a recombinant expression vector which can over-express a cyclophilin protein with PPIase activity. The recombinant expression vector is introduced into cells which are thus transformed to be resistant to cyclosporin A and its analogues. A method of preparing such cells is also disclosed.
