The present invention relates to the use of proteins that are differentially expressed in primary brain tumor tissues, as compared to normal brain tissues, as biomolecular targets for brain tumor treatment therapies. Specifically, the present invention relates to the use of immunotherapeutic and immunoimaging agents, which specifically bind to one or more of the identified brain tumor protein targets. The present invention also provides compounds and pharmaceutically acceptable compositions for administration in the methods of the invention. Nucleic acid probes specific for the spliced mRNA encoding these variants and affinity reagents specific for the novel proteins are also provided.

This invention relates to novel fusion proteins which are comprised of a targeting protein that binds tissue factor (TF), which is operably linked to the thrombomodulin (TM) EGF456 domain alone or in combination with at least one other TM domain selected from the group consisting of the N-terminal hydrophobic region domain, the EGF123 domain, the interdomain loop between EGF3 and EGF4, and the O-glycosylated Ser / Thr-rich domain, or analogs, fragments, derivatives or variants thereof. The fusion protein binds at the site of injury and prevents the initiation of thrombosis. The fusion protein can be used to treat a variety of thrombotic conditions including but not limited to deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and acute coronary syndrome.

The present invention provides a means to modulate gene expression in vivo in a manner that avoids problems associated with CRISPR endogenous protein knock-out or knock-in strategies and strategies that provide for correction, or alteration, of single nucleotides. The invention includes inserting into the genome a nucleotide encoding a heterobifunctional compound targeting protein (dTAG) in-frame with the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding an endogenously expressed protein of interest which, upon expression, produces an endogenous protein-dTAG hybrid protein. This allows for targeted protein degradation of the dTAG and the fused endogenous protein using a heterobifunctional compound.

The present invention relates to a method capable of implementing on-target one-step desalination and enrichment of trace protein or polypeptide by means of combined application of hydrophobic polymer microblotting technique and matrix auxiliary laser analysis ionization mass spectrography. Said microblotting hydrophobic polymer has good adsorption and enrichment effect for protein and polypeptide, so that it can implement one-step desalination and direct MALDI-TOF-MS analysis. Said invention can be extensively used in the field of protein phylogeny.

The present disclosure relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of tau protein. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to bifunctional compounds, which contain onone end a VHL or cereblon ligand which binds to the E3 ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds tau protein, such that tau protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase toeffect degradation (and inhibition) of tau. The present disclosure exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with degradation / inhibition of tau protein. Diseases or disorders that result from aggregation or accumulation of tau protein are treated or prevented with compounds and compositions of the present disclosure.

The present invention relates to bifunctional compounds, which find utility as modulators of targeted ubiquitination, especially inhibitors of a variety of polypeptides and other proteins which are degraded and / or otherwise inhibited by bifunctional compounds according to the present invention. In particular, the present invention is directed to compounds, which contain on one end a VHL ligand which binds to the ubiquitin ligase and on the other end a moiety which binds a target protein such that the target protein is placed in proximity to the ubiquitin ligase to effect degradation (and inhibition) of that protein. The present invention exhibits a broad range of pharmacological activities associated with compounds according to the present invention, consistent with the degradation / inhibition of targeted polypeptides.
