Abrégé
Disclosed herein are methods for systemically editing a gene in a subject and for systemically treating a genetic condition in a subject using a dual-vector CRISPR-Cas therapy. The methods comprise administering to the subject, via systemic administration, a gene editing AAV vector encoding a CRISPR effector protein (e.g., a Cas protein) and a targeting AAV vector providing one or more gRNAs targeted to the gene. In the methods, the ratio of the targeting AAV vector to the gene editing vector is greater than or equal to 2. Also provided are dual-vector systems for editing a gene or treating a genetic disease in a subject.

Abrégé
The present invention provides methods and systems for targeted delivery of a compound to a target cell that over-expresses two different proteinases. Specifically, two different modified protective antigen proteins, each comprising a cleavage site recognized by a distinct proteinase in place of the native proteinase cleavage site recognized by furin, are administered in combination with a compound that contains a protective antigen binding site. Upon cleavage by the two proteinases the two modified protective antigen proteins form a hetero-oligomer, allowing the compound to bind to the hetero-oligomer and subsequently to be translocated into the target cell.

Disclosed herein is a robust system for the reverse genetics generation of a Rift Valley fever (RVF) virus replicon particle (VRPRVF) vaccine candidate. VRPRVF can actively synthesize viral RNA and proteins, but lack structural glycoprotein genes, preventing spread within immunized individuals and reducing the risk of vaccine-induced pathogenicity. Is it disclosed herein that VRPRVF immunization is both safe and efficacious, resulting in a robust immune response that is protective against RVF virus challenge within 24 hours of immunization. Provided herein are VRPRVF, methods of producing VRPRVF, and method of using VRPRVF for immunization against RVF virus infection.

Mesothelin is a differentiation antigen present on the surface of ovarian cancers, mesotheliomas and several other types of human cancers. Because among normal tissues, mesothelin is only present on mesothelial cells, it represents a good target for antibody mediated delivery of cytotoxic agents. The present invention is directed to improved recombinant immunotoxins comprising anti-mesothelin antibodies, including Fv molecules with particularly high affinity for mesothelin, and a Pseudomonas Exotoxin moiety which has been modified to reduce its immunogenicity and protease sensitivity and providing a better cytotoxicity for cells which expresss mesothelin. The RITs are well-suited for the treatment of cancers of the ovary, stomach, squamous cells, mesotheliomas and other malignant cells expressing mesothelin.

Abrégé
Antibody VRC01 represents a human immunoglobulin that neutralizes -∼90% of diverse HIV-1 isolates. To understand how such broadly neutralizing HIV-1 antibodies develop and recognize the viral envelope, we used X-ray crystallography and 454 pyrosequencing to characterize additional antibodies from HIV-1-infected individuals. Crystal structures revealed a convergent mode of binding of different antibodies to the same CD4-binding-site epitope. Antibody recognition was achieved through the evolution of complementary contact domains that were generated in diverse ways. Phylogenetic analysis of expressed heavy and light chains determined by deep sequencing revealed a common pathway of antibody heavy chain maturation confined to IGHV1-2*02 lineage that could pair with different light chains. The maturation pathway inferred by antibodyomics reveals that diverse antibodies evolve to a highly affinity-matured state to recognize an invariant viral structure, providing insight into the development and evolution of broadly neutralizing HIV-1 immunity.

Abrégé
The present invention provides chimeric molecules having a ubiquitin moiety attached to a cytosol-targeting moiety and an effector moiety. The ubiquitin can be modified to replace one or more lysine residues with another amino acid to reduce the amount of ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of the chimeric molecule. The modified ubiquitin results in increased stability of the effector moiety in the cytosol of the target cell. The invention also provides methods of using the ubiquitin-containing chimeric molecules to target diseased cells, such as tumor cells and HIV-infected cells.

Abrégé
One major problem in diagnosis methods presently available for anthrax is that these methods require several days to produce a result, are rendered unusable after antibiotic use, or are not quantifiable. The only existing treatment for anthrax requires administration soon after infection at a time when patients are exhibiting only mild flu-like symptoms. Thus, by the time a diagnosis is made a patient may be days beyond the time when treatment would be effective. The present invention reduces diagnosis time to as little as four hours providing same day identification of anthrax radically increasing the odds of delivering proper treatment and patient recovery. The rapid identification of anthrax edema factor activity exhibited by the invention is also amenable to in vivo screening protocols for the discovery and development of anthrax vaccines, anti-toxins and edema factor inhibitors. The invention isolates and concentrates edema factor and edema toxin from nearly any sample. By capitalizing on the adenylate cyclase activity of edema factor the invention amplifies output signals producing reliable detection of low concentrations of edema factor previously unachievable. The invention involves novel purification and detection techniques and substrates for rapid, reproducible, and quantitative measurements of anthrax edema factor, and other adenylate cyclases in biological samples.

The methods can be utilized to detect and quantify oversulfated or persulfated glycosaminoglycans in pharmaceutical preparations, such as heparin preparations or therapeutic medical devices. When used to detect or quantify oversulfated glycosaminoglycans in heparin containing solutions, the samples are prepared by treatment with heparinases to degrade the heparin. Titration of the inhibition of the activity of the polymerases allows quantitation of the oversulfated glycosaminoglycans in the sample.

Abrégé
Methods are disclosed for treating, preventing or reducing the risk of developing occupational lung diseases, such as pneumoconiosis. In several embodiments, the methods include administering a therapeutically effective amount of the suppressive ODN to a subject having or at risk of developing a pneumoconiosis, thereby treating or inhibiting the pneumoconiosis. In several examples, thee subject can have or be at risk of developing silicosis, asbestosis or berryliosis. The method can include selecting a subject exposed to, or at risk of exposure to, inorganic particles, including, but not limited to silica, asbestos, berrylium, coal dust, or bauxite.

Abrégé
Imaging of cannabinoid subtype-1 (CB1) receptors in vivo is important for understanding their role in neuropsychiatric disorders and for drug development. Radioligands for imaging with PET or SPECT are required for this purpose. The present invention provides new ligands, including (-)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-N'-[(4-cyanophenyl)sulfonyl]-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine) and 1-(2-iodophenyl)-4-cyano-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(piperidin-1-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate, which were found to have high affinity and selectivity for binding to CB1 receptors. These compounds were labeled and evaluated as a PET and SPECT radioligands for use in mammals. After injection of [11C] (-)-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-N'-[(4-cyanophenyl)sulfonyl]-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-pyrazole-1-carboxamidine) into mammals, high uptake and retention of radioactivity across brain according to the rank order of CB1 receptor densities was observed. Likewise 125I-labeled 1-(2-iodophenyl)-4-cyano-5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-(piperidin-1-yl)-1H-pyrazole-3-carboxylate showed a distinct regional distribution of radioactivity in brain tissue according to the known CB1 receptor densities. Ligands of the present invention are useful for in vivo imaging CB1 receptor function in mammals.
