Antibody Therapy and Diagnosis for Microsporidiosis Disease in Shrimp Aquaculture
This invention is a therapy against Ecytonucleospora hepatopenaei (EHP) and diagnostic method to identify EHP-infected shrimp using monoclonal antibodies. The antibodies can be produced in cell culture or expressed using a heterologous expression system for administering to shrimp broodstock, post larvae in a hatchery, and in farmed shrimp in a grow...

A Method for Characterizing Adeno-Associated Virus Capsids with Thermal Unfolding and Mass Spectrometry
This invention describes modulating the temperature of the solution in an electrospray needle prior to charge-detection mass spectrometry (CD/MS) to enable discrimination between the individual stabilities of multiple forms of viral particles that may be present in an AAV preparation. This increased discrimination provides the operator with a unique...

Novel Mechanism Anti-Fungal with High Specificity
University of Arizona researchers have discovered a novel approach for treating fungal or yeast infections using a previously unstudied GPCR-like protein, which is integral to the regulation of cell growth in yeast cells. This protein and metabolic pathway is absent in higher-order animals, which provides a novel pathway for drugs to stop the growth...

An Essential and Unique Virulence Molecule in Pathogenic Escherichia Coli
This invention relates to a secreted protein that plays a critical role in mediating virulence of pathogenic E. coli. Utilizing a functionally equivalent mouse pathogen, in both in vitro and in vivo virulence studies, the investigators demonstrated that the premature death of intestinal epithelial cells could be prevented.
Background:
There are...

Domain of a Protein Antigen from Coccidioides immitis which Induces Protection Against Coccidoidal Infection
Researchers at the University of Arizona have determined the precise conformation required to confer resistance to C. immitis or Valley Fever, which is endemic to Southwestern United States, Mexico, and other Latin American countries. They have identified a subunit of C. immitis antigen that would both prevent coccidioidomycosis and optimize the vaccine...
