摘要:
A method of quantitatively measuring the muscle relaxant action of a neurotoxin. More specifically speaking, a method of quantifying the efficacy (titer and/or diffusion reaction) of a neurotoxin based on the degree of the muscle relaxant action of a neurotoxin originating in a bacterium belonging to the genus Clostridium, which is characterized by comprising: (a) administering the neurotoxin to one hinder leg of a nonhuman mammal; (b) electrically stimulating the nonhuman mammal; (c) measuring the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) caused by the contraction of muscles in the hinder leg to which the neurotoxin has been administered and/or muscles in the other hinder leg to which the neurotoxin has not been administered by using an electromyograph; and (d) taking out the amplitude data from the compound muscle action potential (CMAP) obtained by the measurement in the step (c) and analyzing the degree of a decrease in the amplitude to thereby quantify the efficacy of the muscle relaxant action by the neurotoxin. Although mouse LD50 that has been employed as a titer unit of the botulin toxin allows the measurement only at a several unit level, the above-described method of quantifying the efficacy of a neurotoxin enables the measurement at 0.01 to 1 unit level. That is, this method is excellent in sensitivity, reproducibility and accuracy.

The present invention provides an avian influenza vaccine containing a peptide-bound liposome wherein; the peptide contains: (1) an amino acid sequence shown by any one of SEQ ID NO:1 to 9, or (2) an amino acid sequence shown by any one of SEQ ID NO:1 to 9 wherein one or two amino acids are substituted,
has a length of 9 to 11 amino acids, and is capable of inducing HLA-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes; wherein the liposome contains a phospholipid having an acyl group with 14 to 24 carbon atoms and one unsaturated bond or a hydrocarbon group with 14 to 24 carbon atoms and one unsaturated bond, and a liposome stabilizer; and wherein the peptide is bound to the surface of the liposome.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for producing a recombinant hepatitis C virus-like particle comprising the steps of introducing into (i) a cell in which an RNA replicon comprising a nucleotide sequence comprising the 5' untranslated region, the nucleotide sequence coding for the NS3, NS4A, NS4B, NS5A, and NS5B proteins, and the 3' untranslated region of a genome RNA derived from a hepatitis C virus strain autonomously replicates, (ii) a vector expressing the Core, E1, E2, and p7 proteins derived from a hepatitis C virus strain that is the same as or different from that as defined in the above (i), culturing the cell, and recovering the produced virus-like particle, and a recombinant hepatitis C virus particle produced by this method.
