Erasmus, Adenoviruses and cancerAdenovirus 12 (Ad12) can cause cancer in rodents while Ad 5 does not. The comparison of Ad5 and Ad12 yielded a difference in an alanine rich region found in the E1A gene. My project was about trying to delete the Alanine region and to investigate whether this region was responsible or played a role in the cancer development of Ad12.

US Patent:
20160076036, Mar 17, 2016
Filed:
Apr 13, 2015
Appl. No.:
14/685486
Inventors:
- Duarte CA, US
Katrin TIEMANN - Pasadena CA, US
Jiehua ZHOU - Monrovia CA, US
Britta VALLAZZA - Hagen, DE
International Classification:
C12N 15/113
A61K 47/48
A61K 31/713
C12N 15/115
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a B cell specific aptamer-siRNA chimera is provided. The B cell specific aptamer-siRNA chimera may include an RNA aptamer that binds BAFF-R and an siRNA molecule conjugated to the RNA aptamer via a nucleotide linker. In another embodiment, a B cell specific RNA aptamer is provided. The RNA aptamer may be a molecule that binds to BAFF-R that has the sequence SEQ ID NO:37, SEQ ID NO:38 or SEQ ID NO:39. In some embodiments, the RNA aptamer is conjugated, via a nucleotide linker, to an siRNA molecule that suppresses expression of one or more target oncogenes in one or more B cells. In one aspect, the one or more target oncogenes are selected from Bcl6, Bcl2, STAT3, Cyclin D1, Cyclin E2 and c-myc. In another embodiment, methods for treating a B cell malignancy in a cancer patient are provided. Such methods may include administering a therapeutically effective amount of a therapeutic composition, the therapeutic composition comprising a B cell specific RNA aptamer that binds BAFF-R.
