The invention concerns anti-NGF antibodies (such as anti-NGF antagonist antibodies), and polynucleotides encoding the same. The invention further concerns use of such antibodies and / or polynucleotides in the treatment and / or prevention of pain, including post-surgical pain, rheumatoid arthritis pain, and osteoarthritis pain.

The invention relates to N-hydroxysulfonamide derivatives that donate nitroxyl (HNO) under physiological conditions and are useful in treating and / or preventing the onset and / or development of diseases or conditions that are responsive to nitroxyl therapy, including heart failure and ischemia / reperfusion injury. Novel N-hydroxysulfonamide derivatives release NHO at a controlled rate under physiological conditions, and the rate of HNO release is modulated by varying the nature and location of functional groups on the N-hydroxysulfonamide derivatives.

This invention provides a modified gp140 envelope polypeptide of an HIV-1 isolate comprising a gp120 polypeptide portion comprising consecutive amino acids and a gp41 ectodomain polypeptide portion comprising consecutive amino acids, said gp41 ectodomain polypeptide portion being modified to comprise isoleucine (I) at an amino acid position equivalent to amino acid position 535; glutamine (Q) at an amino acid position equivalent to amino acid position 543; serine (S) at an amino acid position equivalent to amino acid position 553; lysine (K) at an amino acid position equivalent to amino acid position 567; and arginine (R) at an amino acid position equivalent to amino acid position 588, the amino acid positions being numbered by reference to the HIV-1 isolate KNH1144. This invention also provides nucleic acids encoding such a polypeptide, vectors, host cells, trimeric complexes and compositions thereof. Also provided are antibodies generated against the modified polypeptides and trimeric complexes, and methods of using the modified polypeptides, compositions and trimeric complexes.

The present invention relates to compositions comprising factor VIII coagulation factors linked to extended recombinant polypeptide (XTEN), isolated nucleic acids encoding the compositions and vectors and host cells containing the same, and methods of making and using such compositions in treatment of factor VIII-related diseases, disorders, and conditions.

The invention provides methods for treating and / or preventing and / or slowing the onset and / or development of ALS using hydrogenated pyrido(4,3-b)indoles, such as dimebon.

A method for reducing the incidence or delaying the onset of diabetes in diabetes-susceptible mammals (e.g., mice, rats, humans) is provided wherein the mammals are treated with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist. Additionally, the present invention provides a method of prolonging the honeymoon phase and decreasing the rate of islet cell infiltration by lymphocytes by administration of a GnRH antagonist. Preferably, the antagonist is administered repeatedly over time by subcutaneous injection. Preferred antagonists include Acetyl-β-[2-Naphthyl]-D-Ala-D-p-Chloro-Phe-β-[3-Pyridyl]-D-Ala-Ser-Nε-[Nicotinoyl]-Lys-Nε-[Nicotinoyl]-D-Lys-Leu-Nε-[Isopropyl]-Lys-Pro-D-Ala-NH2, Nal-Glu, Abarelix, Degarelix, and acetyl-D2Nal-D4CIPhe-D3Pal-Ser-Aph(Ac)-D-Aph(Ac)-Leu-Lys(lpr)-Pro-D-Ala-NH2.
