ABSTRACT SUMMARY The outcome of this phase project will yield a turnkey system for spectroscopy polarimetry in the terahertz THz frequency range designed to support development of new drugs This system will directly probe protein vibrations using polarized terahertz radiation allowing researchers to rapidly characterize intramolecular vibrations which will help identify sites on ...

PROJECT SUMMARY ABSTRACT Our recently completed Phaseanimal studies demonstrated the ability of our novel second generation partialp MHC constructDRhMOGto treat acute and chronic EAE with potency comparable to the parent RTLmoleculepDRMOGin matched DRTg mice and in DRnegative mismatched miceHaving met our Phasemilestonesour Phase II application will produce a fully humanized DRhMOGmolecule and ass ...

This is a Phase I STTR to investigate the preclinical efficacy of a novel immunomodulator DR MOG in a clinically relevant thromboembolic stroke model in mice We have previously shown that T cells are activated after stroke infiltrate brain and exacerbate ischemic brain damage Strategies that reduce T cell activation and brain tissue infiltration have been investigated as potential therapeu ...
