8 results about "Type specific" patented technology

A viral vector having a lipid bilayer envelope is provided, comprising a cell-type specific antibody-binding domain presented outside the envelope, a viral envelope protein presented outside the envelope capable of promoting infection of the same cell type, and a nucleic acid molecule containing a promoter expressible in the same cell type. Furthermore, a method for producing the viral vector and a method for modifying cells and treating diseases / conditions using this viral vector are also provided.

The present invention relates to the field of modular platforms, such as viral vectors. In particular, the present invention relates to a recombinant adeno- associated virus (AAV) capsid or particle comprising an engineered virion protein (VP), wherein the engineered VP comprises at least one cell-type specific binding moiety located in variable region 8 (VR8). The invention also relates to a recombinant AAV particle for use as a medicament.

Methods for target, biomarker, and patient selection discovery in central nervous system disorders utilizing patient-derived cellular models, spatial proteomics, and machine learning. The method generates neural cells from forebrain regions from induced pluripotent stem cells, performs cell-type specific proteome profiling using antibody-enzyme conjugates and spatial proteome profiling, and applies statistical data augmentation to sparse biological datasets. Machine learning classifiers with SHAP-based feature importance identify ranked biomarkers from mass spectrometry data. The platform enables patient stratification by linking molecular signatures to symptom severity, drug screening through biomarker modulation, and diagnostic applications. Kits comprising antibodies for biomarkers including antibodies for biomarkers identified by the method facilitate implementation. Applications include autism spectrum disorder, rare neurodevelopmental disorders, schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease.

The present invention provides methods of profiling gene and protein expression of a plurality of nuclei from a single cell type and comparing the profiles to determine variability among cell populations, samples from different subjects, and cells expressing a disease phenotype.

The invention relates to methods of tracking the movement of an amino acid of interest or a metabolite thereof in a eukaryotic multicellular structure, methods of diagnosis and screening related thereto, and nucleic acids encoding amino-acid stereo- isomerase for use therein.

Methods of detecting cell-type-specific liver damage in a subject who received a liver transplant, the method comprising sequencing cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in a sample from the subject; determining cell-type from which the cfDNA originated by identifying methylation patterns in nucleotide sequence of one or more portions of the cfDNA that contains methylation sites, in which the cell-type is determined when the methylation pattern in the one or more portions is the same as a cell-type specific methylation pattern; and measuring the quantity of the cfDNA of the determined cell-type. The cell-type-specific liver damage is detected when the measured quantity of the cfDNA of the determined cell-type is greater as compared to a quantity of cfDNA of the determined cell-type in subjects without liver transplant damage. Methods also relating to treatment of subjects who received a liver transplant.
