摘要:
The invention relates to manipulation of equine herpes virus for use in gene therapy and in particular to modifications of the virus so that it can carry heterologous material and furthermore, preferably, be replication deficient so that the virus cannot replicate in the target tissue.
摘要:
A nucleic acid which encodes a peroxisomal fatty acid transporter, uses thereof and a method of genetic manipulation of peroxisomal fatty acid transport and/or Metabolism. The nucleic acid and its products are especially for use in regulation of peroxisomal fatty acid transport in plant and in controlling the spectrum of fatty acids which can be utilised by the plant.
摘要:
The invention relates to proteinase inhibitors and in particular cystatins which have been modified so as to enhance their effective or synthetically manufactured counterpatrts. The modification including either site directed alterations in the structure of the protein and/or the production of hybrid molecules.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for the repair of damaged tissue present at or on the surface (5, 27) of bone in an animal, the method comprising forming a narrow groove (7, 25) around at least part of said damaged tissue, which groove extends (7, 25) into the bone (3, 29) below the damaged tissue, replacing the tissue around which the groove (7, 25) extends by at least one layer of biocompatible replacement material (9), and anchoring the material (9) to the bone (3, 29) by the use of retaining means (11) extending from the material (9) into the groove (7, 25); instruments for use in the repair of damaged tissue and kits comprising said instruments.

摘要:
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding an E2 associated protein, which acts in the role of an E3 ubiquitin ligase, wherein said isolated nucleic acid has a nucleotide sequence which hybridises to the nucleic acid shown in Figure 1. The invention also provides the polypeptide encoded by the nucleic acid and antibodies raised against the polypeptide.
摘要:
The invention relates to a means to a herpesvirus saimiri that has been genetically modified by mutating and/or deleting specific essential and non-essential genes. The essential genes are required in replication of viral genes and are needed for viral proliferation. The non-essential genes can represent sites for the insertion of heterologous genetic material, namely therapeutic genes.
摘要:
A plant or plant cell containing the chromo domain of heterochromatin protein 1, ideally derived from the genus Drosophila, wherein said domain confers selective advantage on said plant or cell.
摘要:
A polyolefin plaque is produced by hot compaction of an assembly of melt spun oriented fibres. It has been found that good compaction can be achieved at relatively low compaction pressures, less than 10 MPa. Compaction can be carried out in an autoclave, rather than in a hot compaction press, and the mechanical properties of plaques so produced range from good to excellent.
摘要:
This invention relates to the control of pests. In particular the invention relates to the protection of plants against parasitic nematodes. The invention provides nucleic acid comprising a transcription initiation region capable of directing expression predominantly in the roots of a plant, and a sequence which encodes an anti-nematode protein.
