Daniel D. Carson - Houston TX, US
Mary C. Farach-Carson - Houston TX, US
Margaret French - Houston TX, US
Ronald Gomes - West Chester PA, US
Assignee:

University of Delaware - Newark DE
International Classification:

A61K 38/39
A61K 31/726
A61K 38/18
C07K 14/47
C07K 14/50
US Classification:

514 209, 514 91, 514 171, 424422, 530395
Abstract:
