摘要:
Microsomal prostaglandin E synthase-1 (mPGES-1) catalyses the terminal step in the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the brain. In the absence of mPGES-1, animals do not develop immune-induced fever, but retain a normal pyretic response to central administration of PGE2. Inhibitors of PGES-1 can be used for treating fever and other PGE2-dependent reactions. Assays for inhibitors of mPGES-1 are provided.

摘要:
According to the present invention, a series of genes are identified in Group B Streptococcus, the products of which may be associated with the outer surface of the organism. The genes, or functional fragments thereof, may be useful in the preparation of therapeutics, e.g. vaccines to immunise a patient against microbial infection.
摘要:
Isolated PGE synthase, provided from encoding nucleic acid. Methods of production and use. Assays for modulators, especially inhibitors, of PGE synthase activity.
摘要:
The invention provides isolated nucleic acid compounds encoding the stem peptide biosynthetic gene murI of Streptococcus pneumoniae. Also provided are vectors and transformed heterologous host cells for expressing the MurI enzyme product and a method for identifying compounds that inhibit stem peptide biosynthesis.
