Title: Compositions for stimulating cytokine secretion and inducing an immune response
Inventor: HOPE MICHAEL J
IPC: A61K39/39
Filed: 2000-08-28
Abstract: Lipid-nucleic acid particles can provide therapeutic benefits, even when the  nucleic acid is not complementary to coding sequences in target cells. It ha s been found that lipid-nucleic acid particles, including those containing non - sequence specific oligodeoxynucleotides, can be used to stimulate cytokine secretion, thus enhancing the overall immune response of a treated mammal. Further, immune response to specific target antigens can be induced by administration of an antigenic molecule in association with lipid particles containing non-sequence specific oligodeoxynucleotides. The nucleic acid whi ch is included in the lipid-nucleic acid particle can be a phosphodiester (i.e. , an oligodeoxynucleotide consisting of nucleotide residues joined by phosphodiester linkages) or a modified nucleic acid which includes phosphorothioate or other modified linkages, and may suitably be one which i s non-complementary to the human genome, such that it acts to provide immunostimulation in a manner which is independent of conventional base- pairing interactions between the nucleic acid and nucleic acids of the treat ed mammal. In particular, the nucleic acid may suitably contain an immune- stimulating motif such as a CpG motif, or an immune stimulating palindromic sequence. The cationic lipid included in thenucleic acid particles may be suitably selected from among DODAP, DODMA, DMDMA, DOTAP, DC-Chol, DDAB, DODA C, DMRIE, DOSPA and DOGS. In addition, the lipid particle may suitably contain a modified aggregation-limiting lipid such as a PEG-lipid, a PAO-lipid or a ganglioside.

Inventor: GUIRE PATRICK E
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2001-09-06
Abstract: The invention provides a method for generating arrays with a variety of densities, in particular, high density arrays Generally, the method includes a printing step and an illumination step. In the printing step, a predetermined volume of a reagent solution containing receptor molecules is applied to a solid support in a desired pattern. In one embodiment, the receptor molecule is derivatized with a photoreactive agent. In an alternate embodiment, the solid support includes a photoreactive agent. In a preferred embodiment, the receptor molecule is a nucleic acid. In the illumination step, the photoreactive groups are irradiated to immobilize the receptor molecule to the solid support. In one embodiment, a mask having the same center to center distance (e.g., "pitch) as the printed spots, but a smaller diameters, is placed over the printed pattern and illuminated. Preferably the mask illuminates a spot having a smaller diameter than the printed spots. Thus, according to the invention, immobilized reagent spot has a smaller diameter than the original printed spot. In an alternate embodiment, the illumination step can be carried out using mirrored laser technology. If desired, the application and illumination of offset spots can be repeated to form a high density array.
