The present invention relates to the use of valproate in the manufacture of a drug for reducing CHOP levels in a mammal. In particular, said mammal has spinal cord injury (SCI), particularly traumatic SCI. The present invention, therefore, also relates to the use of valproate in the manufacture of a drug for treating SCI in a mammal, particularly traumatic SCI. The present invention also relates to a method for reducing CHOP levels in a mammal, particularly said mammal having spinal cord injury (SCI), specifically traumatic SCI. The present invention also relates to valproate for use in reducing CHOP levels in a mammal, particularly said mammal having spinal cord injury (SCI), specifically traumatic SCI.

Method for determining the genotype of loci DRB of human leukocyte antigen from a nucleic acid sample, and kit for performing this method. The kit comprises allele-specific primers for amplifying nucleic acids derived from HLA-DRB loci by real-time PCR; allele-specific fluorescently labelled nucleotide probes for detecting fluorescence signals during the amplification; and experimentally defined fluorescence patterns for comparing the detected signals. In particular the genes of DRB loci are selected from DRB1, DRB3, DRB4 and DRB5. It overcomes some of the limitations of conventional DNA-based typing methods, in terms of time, possibility of automation, and increase in resolution, while reducing the number of PCR reactions. It is useful e.g. for determining transplantation compatibility or susceptibility for a specific disease.
摘要:
Method and kit based on real-time PCR with specific primers and probes that allow to achieve a high degree of subtyping of the complete HLA-B locus. The main advantages are the greater speed (65 minutes, including the interpretation); the ease of automation, since only eighteen tubes are necessary to obtain a good level of resolution (typing of 300 groups); reduction of the total cost per test thanks to the ease of automation and the simplicity; a surprisingly high degree of allele definition is achieved; and the risk of sample contamination is reduced because the amplified products always remain in the tubes and no post-PCR steps are necessary.
摘要:
The invention relates to expression vectors of the telomerase reverse transcriptase, especially non integrative vectors such as those derived from adeno-associated viruses (AAV), preferably derived from AAV9, as well as to its use for the amelioration of markers of ageing such as insulin insensitivity, osteoporosis, loss of neuromuscular coordination, loss of memory, and the longevity itself. It is based on the fact that treatment of 1-yr and 2-yr old mice with an adeno associated virus (AAV) of wide tropism expressing telomerase had remarkable beneficial effects on health and fitness, including the mentioned markers of ageing and the lifespan itself. Importantly, telomerase-treated mice did not develop more cancer than their control littermates, So, these results demonstrate that telomerase-based therapies can be used to improve healthy ageing and extend longevity in an adult/old mammalian organism without increasing the risk of cancer.
摘要:
Method for producing adenovirus vectors for gene therapy and auxiliary vectors used therefor. The method is based on the multiplication of gutless adenoviruses that lack adenovirus-coding sequences by cotransfecting them with an auxiliary or helper adenovirus that has an attB sequence of the &phis;C31 bacteriophage inserted between the adenovirus packaging signal and the ITR closest to it and/or utilizing the delay arising at the time of packaging the helper adenovirus with respect to that of the gutless adenovirus owing to the presence of the atttB sequence in order to recover the gutless adenovirus from the culture before the helper adenovirus completes its viral cycle. This gives rise to high gutless adenovirus titres that are essentially free from helper adenovirus, thereby allowing them to be used in gene therapy, minimizing the likelihood of the appearance of a cellular immune response on the part of the treated individual against cells transduced by the adenovirus vector produced.

摘要:
This invention relates to a double transgenic animal that simultaneously expresses the gene or the cDNA (complementary DNA) of insulin and the gene or the cDNA (complementary DNA) of glucokinase directed by a promoter or fusion of promoters which permit insulin and glucokinase to be expressed in muscle and its use in the development of therapeutic approximations for diabetes mellitus. This invention also relates to a vector or vectors of expression which permits the expression of said chimeric genes jointly in muscle cells. Said vectors can be a plasmid, a viral vector or a non-viral vector.
