摘要:
A new recombinant protein called Antisecretory Factor (rAF) and homologues and peptide fragments thereof are described. The protein and the homologues and fragments thereof are useful for normalizing pathological fluid transport and/or inflammatory reactions in animals including humans. Antibodics against AF or homologues or fragments thereof are described. Nucleic acids coding for the protein or for homologues or fragments thereof are also described as well as vectors and hosts comprising the nucleic acids. The rAF and homologues and fragments thereof could be used for immunodetection, as feed additive for growing animals and as antidiarrheal and drugs against diseases involving edema, dehydration and/or inflammation.

摘要:
A method of treating bacterial infections comprising the step of interrupting the expression of a macromolecular synthesis operon in bacteria by hybridizing an antisense oligonucleotide to a single stranded DNA or to a mRNA transcribed from the macromolecular synthesis operon. The antisense oligonucleotide can be either sequence specific to a unique intergenic sequence or a sequence specific to a bacterial homologous sequence. By interrupting the expression of the macromolecular synthesis operon bacterial infections can be treated. Specific antisense oligonucleotides and macromolecular synthesis operon sequences are disclosed. The ability of the antisense oligonucleotide to bind the mRNA or single stranded DNA also allows the identification of the bacteria by using a unique intergenic antisense oligonucleotide to bind to the single stranded DNA or to the mRNA transcribed from the macromolecular synthesis operon. A method for competitively inhibiting the protein products of the MMS operon with oligonucleotides is also disclosed. Methods of identifying unique intergenic sequence is also disclosed.
