The present disclosure provides compounds that are amylin receptor antagonist compounds, compositions that include the subject compounds, methods for preparing and using the amylin receptor antagonists, and compositions containing the amylin receptor antagonists for treating, preventing, or ameliorating Alzheimer's disease. Aspects of the present disclosure include a method of inhibiting activity of an amylin receptor by administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an amylin receptor antagonist.

Compounds for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease

The present disclosure provides an immunogenic composition comprising: a) a hepatitis C virus (HCV) heterodimeric polypeptide that includes HCV E1 and E2 polypeptides; b) a T-cell epitope polypeptide comprising a T-cell epitope present in an HCV protein other than E1 and E2; and c) a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The present disclosure provides a method of inducing an immune response, in an individual, to an HCV polypeptide. The present disclosure provides an immunogenic composition comprising: a) a polypeptide that comprises one or more T-cell epitopes present in an HCV protein other than E1 and E2; and b) a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient.

Hepatitis C virus immunogenic compositions and methods of use thereof

The present disclosure provides affinity tagged heterodimeric polypeptides comprising a hepatitis C virus (HCV) E1 polypeptide and an HCV E2 polypeptide, where one or both of the E1 and E2 polypeptides comprises an affinity tag. The present disclosure provides a method of producing an affinity tagged E1/E2 heterodimer of the present disclosure. The present disclosure provides methods of producing untagged HCV E1/E2 heterodimers. The present disclosure provides HCV E1/E2 heterodimers, compositions comprising same, and methods of inducing an immune response to HCV.

Hepatitis c virus E1/E2 heterodimers and methods of producing same

The present disclosure provides an immunogenic composition comprising: a) i) a hepatitis C virus (HCV) heterodimeric polypeptide that includes HCV E1 and E2 polypeptides; ii) an HCV E1 polypeptide; or iii) an HCV E2 polypeptide; b) a polypeptide (also referred to herein as a 'T-cell epitope polypeptide' or an “HCV T-cell epitope polypeptide”) comprising T-cell epitopes (e.g., CD4and CD8T-cell epitopes that are conserved among some HCV genotypes and that are presented through one or multiple HLA alleles common within the human population) present in an HCV protein other than E1 and E2; and c) a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The present disclosure provides a method of inducing an immune response, in an individual, to an HCV polypeptide.

Hepatitis C virus peptide compositions and methods of use thereof

The present disclosure provides immunogenic compositions comprising: a) hepatitis C virus (HCV) E1E2 heterodimers, HCV E2, or HCV E1; and b) an adjuvant, where the adjuvant is a cyclic dinucleotide or an archaeosome. The present disclosure provides methods of inducing an immune response in an individual to HCV, the methods comprising administering to an individual an effective amount of an immunogenic composition of the present disclosure.

The present disclosure provides heterodimeric polypeptides comprising: 1) a variant hepatitis C virus (HCV) E2 polypeptide and an HCV E1 polypeptide; 2) a variant HCV E1 polypeptide and an HCV E2 polypeptide; or 3) a variant HCV E1 polypeptide and a variant HCV E2 polypeptide, where the variant HCV E2 polypeptide and/or the HCV E1 polypeptide comprises one or more T cell epitopes, present in an HCV polypeptide other than an HCV E1 polypeptide or an HCV E2 polypeptide. The present disclosure provides nucleic acids encoding a polyprotein that includes E1 and variant E2, E2 and variant E1, or variant E2 and variant E1. The present disclosure provides a method of producing an E1/E2 heterodimer of the present disclosure. The present disclosure provides a method of inducing an immune response in an individual. The present disclosure provides variant E2 polypeptides and variant E1 polypeptides; and nucleic acids encoding same.

Implantable medical devices for connecting tissue layers, such as for connecting a gallbladder and a portion of a gastrointestinal tract to create an anastomosis, include a tubular structure having a plurality of apposition portions, a central region, and a covering material. The methods of using the devices include endoscopic deployment, and the devices may include self-expanding frameworks that facilitate a secure connection between the tissue structures.

Anastomosis devices

The present disclosure provides methods and compositions that find use in identifying presence of an advanced stage autoimmune liver disease (ALD) is a subject diagnosed as having ALD. Also provided here are methods and compositions that find use in monitoring effectiveness of treatment of an ALD patient receiving a treatment for the ALD. Also provided here are methods and compositions that find use in identifying subjects suffering from a relapse of ALD. The methods and compositions of the present disclosure also find use in facilitating treatment decisions for a subject having ALD.

Biomarkers in autoimmune liver disease

Provided herein are recombinant cardiomyocytes and cardiomyocyte cell lines expressing human Ether-a-go-go Related Gene (hERG) potassium ion channel, including, for example, stable cell lines, that comprise a transfected or transduced nucleic acid sequence encoding hERG. Also provided herein are methods of using the recombinant cardiomyocytes and cardiomyocyte cell lines expressing hERG for screening compounds for cardiotoxicity, including methods for determining the activity of compounds to inhibit hERG.
