摘要:
A monoclonal antibody which immunologically reacts with human VEGF receptor F1t-1, cells having the human VEGF receptor F1t-1, expressed thereon, and the like; a monoclonal antibody having an inhibitory activity against the binding of human VEGF to human VEGF receptor F1t-1; and the diagnosis and treatment of diseases wherein the pathological condition advances by abnormal vascularization, such as propagation and metastasis of solid tumors, arthritis in chronic articular rheumatism, diabetic retinopathy, prematurity retinopathy and psoriasis, by using the monoclonal antibody.
摘要:
A method of screening apoptosis inducing substances characterized by using cells where an integrin-associated protein (IAP) has been expressed; the above screening method wherein the cells used are myelocytic cells; and pharmaceutical compositions containing as the active ingredient the substances obtained by the above method. The invention makes it possible to differentiate, identify and screen readily and highly efficiently the substances, such as antibodies, that induce apoptosis in myelocytic cells by using cells wherein IAP has been expressed while utilizing specific binding reactions of the substances. The above-specified substances thus obtained can be used by virtue of their characteristics as the active ingredient of pharmaceutical compositions such as anticancer agents and remedies for myelocytic leukemia.
摘要:
A monoclonal antibody reacting specifically with the factor Xa-tissue factor pathway inhibitor complex (Xa.TFPI) but not with free factor X, free factor Xa and free tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI); a hybridoma excreting this monoclonal antibody; and a method for immunologically assaying the factor Xa-tissue factor pathway inhibitor complex by using this monoclonal antibody.
摘要:
A method of culturing a protein-producing cell, said method comprising co-culturing one transformed cell that can constitutively produce said protein with the parent cell of said transformed cell.
摘要:
Problems of the present invention are to provide methods for diagnosing the morbid state based on the assay of a human airway trypsin-like protease in a biosample and to provide a therapeutic agent for diseases associated with the human airway trypsin-like protease. Such problems are solved with antibodies binding to the human airway trypsin-like protease and an enzyme immunoassay using the antibodies. Furthermore, the problems are solved with a therapeutic agent comprising the antibodies inhibiting the activation of the human airway trypsin-like protease and a therapeutic agent comprising the antibodies neutralizing the human airway trypsin-like protease activity.
摘要:
The present invention provides a truncated Reelin protein containing a F-spondin domain and a CR-50 recognition site but containing no repeat site of a Reelin protein, and a DNA encoding the truncated Reelin protein. The truncated Reelin protein and the DNA encoding this protein of the present invention can be utilized for treatment of diseases including agyria due to abnormal alignment of neurons.
摘要:
The amino acid and nucleic acid sequences of a Δ5-desaturase enzyme and a Δ8-desaturase enzyme are disclosed. The nucleic acid sequences can be used to design recombinant DNA constructs and vectors. These vectors can then be used to transform various organisms, including for example, plants and yeast. The transformed organisms will then produce polyunsaturated fatty acids. The amino acid sequences are useful for generating enzyme-specific antibodies that are useful for identifying the desaturases.
摘要:
A method of producing viral antigens in vitro by infecting animal organ tissue rich in mitochondria with a virus, including human hepatitis B virus (HBV), and culturing the infected tissue in vitro is disclosed. A method of producing proteins in vitro by transfecting mitochondria-rich animal tissue with a recombinant HBV-based vector and culturing the transfected tissue in a dynamic tissue culture system is disclosed.
