Appl. No.:

09/881823

Inventors:

Wenyuan Shi - Los Angeles CA, US
Sherie Morrison - Los Angeles CA, US

Letitia Wims - Culver City CA, US
Li Chen - Los Angeles CA, US
Maxwell Anderson - Seattle WA, US

International Classification:

A61K039/09

US Classification:

424/185100, 424/244100

Abstract:

Dental caries in man may be prevented or treated by oral ingestion of human or humanized murine monoclonal IgG and IgM antibodies that bind to surface antigens of cariogenic organisms, such as . The genetically engineered monoclonal antibodies engage the effector apparatus of the human immune system when they bind to cariogenic organisms, resulting in their destruction. In a preferred embodiment, monoclonal antibodies to cariogenic organisms are produced by edible plants, including fruits and vegetables, transformed by DNA sequences that code on expression for the desired antibodies. The antibodies are applied by eating the plants.

514/001000, 514/002000, 424/050000

Abstract:

The present invention is based on the discovery that interspecies quorum sensing is related to biofilm formation. The present invention provides methods useful for treating or preventing biofilm formation and microbial infections associated with biofilm formation by using an agent that either increases LuxS-dependent pathway or interspecies quorum sensing signal. The present invention also provides compositions containing an anti-micorbial agent and an agent that either increases LuxS-dependent pathway or interspecies quorum sensing signal.
