摘要:
Disclosed are novel bactericidal/permeability-increasing (BPI) protein products wherein cysteine residue number 132 or 135 is replaced by another amino acid residue, preferably an alanine or serine residue and/or wherein the leucine residue at position 193 is the carboxy terminal residue. Also disclosed are DNA sequences encoding methods for the production of the same in appropriate host cells, and stable homogeneous pharmaceutical compositions containing the analogs suitable for use treatment of gram negative bacterial infection and its sequelae.

The invention relates to a recombinant vector for the cloning and/or expression and/or transfer of an exogenous nucleotide sequence, said vector being characterized in that it comprises any sequence contained in the fragment C-laI-PvuII comprising the nucleotides 7702 and 1527 of the sequence given in figure (1) and comprising the chain LTR comprised between the nucleotides 7842 and 144, the site PBS starting at the nucleotide 145, the encapsidation sequence comprised in the chain of 250 nucleotides following the end of the LTR sequence, said sequence being capable of controlling the cloning and/or expression and/or tranfer of the exogenous sequence, regardless of its transcriptional orientation with respect to the transcriptional orientation of the virus. The invention also relates to the utilisation of said vector for the transfer and/or cloning and/or expression of genes particularly for a genic therapy.
摘要:
Multicistronic expression units allow the equimolar expression of the genes located in the corresponding cistrons. These expression units are particularly suitable for the recombinant production of proteins composed of two or more polypeptide subunits.

L'invention se rapporte à des animaux non humains transgéniques, qui sont capables de produire des anticorps hétérologues, c'est-à-dire des anticorps pour lesquels codent des gènes à chaînes lourdes et légères d'immunoglobuline qu'on ne trouve normalement pas dans le génome de cette espèce d'animal non humain. Dans un aspect de la présente invention, des transgènes codant pour des chaînes lourdes et légères d'immunoglobuline humaine hétérologue non remaniée sont introduits dans un animal non humain, de façon à obtenir un animal transgénique capable de produire des anticorps pour lesquels codent des gènes d'immunoglobuline humains. Ces anticorps hétérologues humains sont produits dans des lymphocytes B qu'on immortalise ensuite, par exemple en les faisant fusionner avec une lignée cellulaire d'immortalisation, telle qu'un myélome, ou en manipulant ces lymphocytes B au moyen d'autres techniques en vue de perpétuer une lignée cellulaire capable de produire un anticorps hétérologue monoclonal. La présente invention se rapporte également à des transgènes d'immunoglobuline à chaînes lourdes et légères permettant de produire des animaux non humains transgéniques, ainsi qu'à des procédés et à des vecteurs permettant de dissocier les locus d'immunoglobuline endogène dans l'animal transgénique. L'invention se rapporte en outre à des procédés permettant de générer un répertoire de segments de gènes de la région variable de l'immunoglobuline synthétique, destiné à être utilisé dans la construction de transgènes, ainsi qu'à des procédés permettant d'induire une production d'anticorps hétérologues grâce à l'utilisation d'animaux contenant des transgènes d'immunoglobuline à chaînes lourdes et légères remaniée ou non remaniée hétérologue.

L'invention concerne une cellule eucaryotique produisant de la glucosyl-céramidase de recombinaison active de manière enzymatique. Elle concerne également une cellule comprenant de l'acide nucléique codant la glucosyl-céramidase active de manière enzymatique, ainsi qu'un organisme eucaryotique contenant ladite cellule. Elle concerne en outre un procédé de production de glucosyl-céramidase active de manière enzymatique, comprenant les étapes consistant à introduire de l'acide nucléique codant la glucosyl-céramidase dans une cellule eucaryotique, ce qui induit la cellule à exprimer de la glucosyl-céramidase, et à purifier la glucosyl de la cellule.
摘要:
An expression vector for the expression of a desired gene in an animal cell is described, which contains a chicken β-actin gene promoter or a derivative thereof and downstream thereof a restriction enzyme site for the incorporation of a desired gene. Furthermore corresponding recombinant expression vectors, transformed microorganisms and processes for the expression of a desired gene in a host cell are described.
摘要:
A method for preparing and isolating a transformation vector containing CSF/cDNA is described. The method comprises: preparing RNA from a cell that produces CSF; preparing polyadenylated messenger RNA from said RNA; preparing single stranded cDNA from said messenger RNA; converting the single stranded cDNA to double stranded cDNA; inserting the double stranded cDNA into transformation vectors and transforming bacteria with said vector to form colonies; picking pools of 200 to 500 colonies each and isolating plasmid DNA from each pool; transfecting the plasmid DNA into suitable host cells for expressing CSF protein; culturing the transfected cells and assaying the supernatant for CSF activity; and selecting CSF positive pools and screening the colonies used to make the pool to identify a colony having CSF activity. Also described are a cDNA coding for a protein having CSF activity (i.e. CSF/cDNA), a microorganism or cell line transformed with a recombinant vector containing such CSF/cDNA, and a method for producing CSF protein by expressing said CSF/cDNA by culturing a microorganism or cell line. The invention also provides a method of purifying the CSF proteins and the purified proteins so produced.
