    摘要: The present invention in general relates to the field of eukaryotic cell culture and tissue engineering, more closely to a method for the cultivation of eukaryotic cells and the use of cells cultured according to this method for the preparation of cell transplants e.g. autologous cell transplants. In particular, the invention relates to the use of keratinocyte and/or melanocyte and/or fibroblast transplants prepared according to the present invention for the treatment of various dermatological symptoms and diseases. The invention further relates to keratinocyte and/or melanocyte and/or fibroblast transplants, e.g. cell culture preparations, prepared according to the present invention. The invention concerns areas involving eukaryotic cell culture and tissue engineering, particularly fibrin-containing keratinocyte, melanocyte and fibroblast suspensions based on three constituents. The invention is particularly useful in the treatment of various conditions of skin, e.g. chronic ulcers of different origins, burn wounds, post-traumatic wound defects, defects of extensive, benign, naevoid skin changes and of scars after prior dermabrasion, vitiligo, piebaldism, etc.

    摘要: The invention relates to methods for screening selective modulators of half transporter proteins of the ABCG family, more closely of ABCG1 and ABCG4. In particular the invention relates to methods for determining whether a substance is a selective activator, an inhibitor or a substrate of an ABCG1 or ABCG4 homodimer or of an ABCG1/ABCG4 heterodimer protein, methods for detection of ABCG1 protein in a biological sample, methods for modulating the function of said proteins, and methods for detecting the presence of and/or quantitating ABCG1/ABCG4 heterodimer activity in a biological sample. Moreover, the invention relates to isolated ABCG1/ABCG4 heterodimer proteins and antibodies selective for ABCG1 or ABCG4. The closely related human ABC half-transporters, ABCG1 and ABCG4, have been suggested to play an important role in cellular lipid/sterol regulation. ABCG1 and ABCG4 and mutants thereof have been expressed and studied by the present inventors in whole cells as well as isolated membrane preparations. A large number of compounds have been screened in this system. Co-expression of the ABCG1 and ABCG4 half transporters resulted in heterodimers.

    摘要: The overexpression of an ABC half-transporter, ABCG2 (MXR/BCRP) transporter causes multidrug resistance in tumors. The present invention is based on the in vitro expression of the ABCG2 protein in insect cells as an expression system free of other, closely related, functional ABC transporters. In particular, the invention is related to a method for testing drugs for their effect on ABCG2 protein, method for the expression of active ABCG2, isolated ABCG2 homooligomers, preferably homodimers and uses thereof for testing drugs. The invention is further related to cell membrane preparations and cells, preferably insect cells comprising active ABCG2 and reagent kits for testing drugs for their effect on an ABCG2 half transporter protein. The invention is also related to a method for identifying ABCG2 activity in a biological sample, utilizing its substrate/inhibitor specificity.
