Title: Cancer markers and detection methods
Inventor: NORTH DON ADAMS
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2006-01-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to cancer markers and methods of detecting cancer markers in a sample. The sample may be peripheral blood. Cancer markers are most commonly mutated or abnormal DNA sequences associated with metastatic cancer. Markers may be detected using PCR, microarrays, or other nucleic acid or peptide-based assays. These methods may be used for a variety of diagnostic purposes, including initial, early-stage or later diagnosis of cancer, particularly metastatic cancer and monitoring of cancer or treatment progression. The cancer markers may also be used to create a cancer marker profile. Treatment may be directed based on this profile. Additionally, methods using blood may provide a cancer marker profile of mutations or abnormalities found in at least one of several tumors in the body, instead of merely one tumor. The invention also include kits, such as primer kits, and microarrays for use in performing the various methods.

Title: Genetically engineered swine influenza virus and uses thereof
Inventor: WEBBY RICHARD J
IPC: A61K39/12
Filed: 2005-06-01
Abstract: The present invention relates, in general, to attenuated swine influenza viruses having an impaired ability to antagonize the cellular interferon (IFN) response, and the use of such attenuated viruses in vaccine and pharmaceutical formulations. In particular, the invention relates to attenuated swine influenza viruses having modifications to a swine NS1 gene that diminish or eliminate the ability of the NS1 gene product to antagonize the cellular IFN  response. These viruses replicate in vivo, but demonstrate decreased replication, virulence and increased attenuation, and therefore are well suited for use in live virus vaccines, and pharmaceutical formulations.
