摘要:
The present invention relates to Trichinella vaccines that include at least one tyvelose-containing oligosaccharide or functional equivalent thereof, to Trichinella vaccines that include at least one fucose-containing oligosaccharide or functional equivalent thereof, and to the use of such vaccines to protect animals from Trichinella infections, and particularly from trichinosis caused by Trichinella spiralis infection. Such vaccines can also be used to produce antibodies that are capable of protecting an animal from Trichinella infections and of diagnosing such infections. The present invention also relates to Trichinella diagnostic reagents that include at least one tyvelose-containing oligosaccharide, or functional equivalent thereof, and use of such reagents to detect Trichinella, and particularly Trichinella spiralis infections. The present invention also includes diagnostic kits based on such reagents and anti-Trichinella-spiralis drugs based on the knowledge that tyvelose is produced by Trichinella spiralis parasites.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for producing an α-acyloxy carbonyl compound from an enol ester epoxide stereoselectively using an acid catalyst which is capable of affecting rearrangement of the enol ester epoxide with inversion of stereochemistry. The present invention also provides a method for kinetic resolution of a stereoisomeric mixture of enol ester epoxides using a chiral catalyst. The kinetic resolution generally involves stereoselectively producing one particular enantiomer of α-acyloxy carbonyl compounds from the stereoisomeric mixture of enol ester epoxides.
摘要:
Non-surgical artificial insemination is achieved for sexed and unsexed equines in a commercially practical manner and with dosages of insemination sperm which were not previously thought to be practical for commercial implementation. Practical and field usable techniques for insemination are presented as well as techniques which offer success ratios at level comparable to the existing routine, high dosage unsexed artificial techniques in equines. Improved insemination and sorting systems particularly adapted to use for sex-selected sperm are disclosed.

An extremely compact soft x-ray and/or extreme ultraviolet laser is disclosed that can be repetitively fired within short time intervals. The laser generates a plasma within a capillary (3) by flowing through the capillary (3) a fast high current pulse generated by a very compact liquid dielectric (1) transmission line (9) geometry.
摘要:
Tissue which is suitable for transplant is treated with a growth factor and cells which populate the tissue and native cells must be removed, they cannot be "masked" reduce immunogenicity; this increases the longevity of the tissue upon transplant. The preferred growth factor is basic fibroblast growth factor, and the preferred cells are fibroblasts. The tissue can be an allograft or xenograft taken from a cow, pig or other mammal.
摘要:
Molecular clones of feline leukemia virus isolates that encode (a) a prototype highly infectious, minimally pathogenic virus, (b) a variant genome that is replication-defective and associated with a fatal immunodeficiency in cats similar to AIDS (FAIDS) or (c) a chimeric genome that is replication-competent and induces FAIDS. These molecular clones may be used to generate cell lines producing infectious virus which is useful in the preparation of vaccines or in the generation of viremia or disease challenge systems.
摘要:
On a constaté qu'il est possible de protéger aisément des hôtes sensibles aux parasitoses par les nématodes, contre ces infections, lorsque les parasites ne sont pas adaptés à une relation parasite/hôte avec cet hôte. En particulier, des hôtes félins ont été immunisés contre la filaire à l'aide d'une grande variété d'antigènes dérivés du Dirofilaria immitis et de nématodes apparentés. Etant donné que les chats sont des hôtes sensibles à ce parasite non adapté, ces antigènes assurent une protection efficace.

L'invention concerne des copolymères de polyquinoline ainsi que des mélanges d'homopolymères et de copolymères de polyquinoline présentant des propriétés uniques. Lesdits copolymères peuvent comprendre des copolymères aléatoires, des copolymères bloc, ainsi que des copolymères tri-bloc.
摘要:
Des hydroformylations asymétriques d'oléfines chirales peuvent être obtenues en mettant en contact, dans des conditions d'hydroformylation, une oléfine contenant un centre prochiral avec de l'hydrogène et de l'oxyde de carbone en présence d'un catalyseur comprenant un complexe de platine II et de N-(t-butoxycarbonyl)-2S,4S)-4-(diphénylphosphino)-2-[(diphénylphosphino)méthyl] pyrrolidine et du chlorure stanneux, et en extrayant l'aldéhyde chiral résultant à mesure qu'il se forme. Un procédé préféré d'extraction de l'aldéhyde chiral résultant consiste à utiliser un agent d'emprisonnement tel qu'un orthoformate de triéthyle, un orthoformate de triméthyle, un orthoacétate de triéthyle, un orthoacétate de triméthyle, un diéthyl-cétal d'acétone et un diméthyl-acétal d'acétone utilisé en présence d'un support catalyseur à l'état solide tel qu'un polystyrène réticulé.
