摘要:
Provided are an expression inhibitor of an inflammation promoting factor based on the discovery of a new factor influencing the expression amount/level of an inflammation promoting factor, and a development tool therefor. Provided are also a diagnostic agent and a diagnosis method for immune diseases, inflammatory diseases, painful conditions and similar. More specifically provided are: an expression inhibitor of an inflammation promoting factor containing at least one kind of inhibitor selected from the group consisting of RBMS2 expression inhibitor and RBMS2 function inhibitor; a screening method using as an indicator the expression or the function of RBMS2; an expression cassette useful for said method; as well as a diagnostic agent containing a product detection agent for RBMS2 gene expression and disease detection method using as an indicator RBMS2 gene expression amount/level.
摘要:
A method of reducing the level of a transcription product in a cell comprising contacting with the cell a composition comprising a double-stranded nucleic acid complex comprising a first nucleic acid strand annealed to a second nucleic acid strand, wherein: (i) the first nucleic acid strand hybridizes to the transcription product and comprises (a) a region consisting of at least 4 consecutive nucleotides that are recognized by RNase H when the strand is hybridized to the transcription product, (b) one or more nucleotide analogs located on 5′ terminal side of the region, (c) one or more nucleotide analogs located on 3′ terminal side of the region and (d) a total number of nucleotides and nucleotide analogs ranging from 8 to 35 nucleotides and (ii) the second nucleic acid strand comprises (a) nucleotides and optionally nucleotide analogs and (b) at least 4 consecutive RNA nucleotides.

摘要:
Provided is an opening measurement instrument which exhibits excellent instrument stability during measurement, and excellent measurement accuracy and reproducibility thereof. This opening measurement instrument is provided with: an engagement part which measures an opening amount between an upper jaw and a lower jaw, and which engages with first reference teeth in one of the jaws; a measurement surface which, while the engagement part is in a state of being engaged with the first reference teeth, is brought into contact with second reference teeth in the other jaw; and a first scale which is provided to the measurement surface, and which indicates the distance from the engagement part. The opening measurement instrument is preferably further provided with a second scale which is provided to the measurement surface, and which indicates the position of a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the first scale is provided. The measurement surface is preferably configured from a curved surface in which the measurement surface between the engagement part and a prescribed point of the measurement surface bulges with respect to a flat surface connecting the engagement part and the prescribed point of the measurement surface. Furthermore, the curved surface is preferably provided with a section having a curvature which increases as the distance from the engagement part increases.
