    Abstract: The invention is related to a dengue virus or chimeric dengue virus that contains a mutation in the 3' untranslated region (3'-UTR) comprising a A30 mutation that removes the TL-2 homologous structure in each of the dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4, and nucleotides additional to the A30 mutation deleted from the 3'-UTR that removes sequence in the 5' direction as far as the 5'boundary of the TL-3 homologous structure in each of the dengue virus serotypes 1, 2, 3, and 4, or a replacement of the 3'-UTR of a dengue virus of a first serotype with the 3'-UTR of a dengue virus of a second serotype, optionally containing the A30 mutation and nucleotides additional to the A30 mutation deleted from the 3'-UTR; and immunogenic compositions, methods of inducing an immune response, and methods of producing a dengue virus or chimeric dengue virus.

    Abstract: Novel compounds are provided that bind to polo-like kinases through the polo -box domain. In certain embodiments, the novel compounds are PEGylated peptides. The PEGylated peptides in accordance with the invention demonstrate high PBD-binding affinity. In certain embodiments, the PEGylated peptides have also achieved activities in whole cell systems. The invention also provides compounds that bind polo- like kinases through the polo -box domain and possess reduced anionic charge. Further provided are methods of design and/or synthesis of the PEGylated peptides and methods of use thereof. The invention provides methods of use of the compounds and methods of synthesis of the compounds. The compounds of the invention have potential therapeutic activity in view of their binding and inhibitory activities towards Plkl. They are based on the amino acid sequence PLHSpT (phosphorylated Thr). The PEG moiety, when present, is covalently attached at the N- terminus. The invention also encompasses derivatives having substituents on the Pro and/or the His side chains, substituents on the phosphate group, the replacement of His with Gln, the replacement of Pro with a N-substituted Gly, the replacement of Ser with Ala, as well as HS-pT fragments with N-terminal alkoxycarbonyl group and PLHS fragments with a C-terminal glyco-imino-alkylxyalkylamide group.

    Abstract: This invention, in one aspect, relates to synthetic immunoreactive peptides. These peptides are approximately 20-25 amino acids in length which are portions of the N termini of the M proteins of the most prevalent United States (U.S.) Group A Streptococcus (GAS) serotypes. At least some of the synthetic peptides can be recognized by M type-specific antibodies and are capable of eliciting functional opsonic antibodies and/or anti-attachment antibodies without eliciting tissue cross- reactive antibodies. In another aspect, it relates to compositions or vaccines comprising these synthetic serotype-specific peptides, including polypeptides and proteins. The invention may also be isolated antibodies which are raised in response to the peptides, compositions or vaccines. The invention further relates to kits for using the peptides, compositions, or antibodies. In still further aspects, the invention also relates to methods for using the peptides, compositions, vaccines, or antibodies and methods for tailoring vaccines.
