摘要: Recombinant adenoviruses provide a versatile system for gene expression studies and therapeutic applications. This invention describes a strategy which simplifies the generation and production of such viruses. A recombinant adenoviral plasmid is generated with a minimum of enzymatic manipulations, employing homologous recombination in bacteria rather than in eucaryotic cells. Following transfections of such plasmids into a mammalian packaging cell line, viral production can be conveniently followed with the aid of green fluorescent protein, encoded by a gene incorporated into the viral backbone. Homogeneous viruses can be obtained from this procedure without plaque purification. This system expedites the process of generating and testing recombinant adenoviruses.

摘要: Nitric oxide generating compounds or compounds which induce in situ synthesis of nitric oxide can be used to inhibit rhinovirus infection. Nitric oxide has the ability to inhibit both viral replication as well as the synthesis of cytokines, in particular the proinflammatory cytokines. Thus the symptoms of rhinovirus infections can be ameliorated by treatments to increase nitric oxide in the respiratory tract.

摘要: 4-Phenylbutyrate exerts many beneficial biological effects. It appears to induce the transcription of certain promoters, as well as having a remedial effect on proteins which are aberrantly localized within the cell. In addition, it appears to cause cells to developmentally differentiate. The present invention provides nanosphere formulations of 4-phenylbutyrate and other drugs which remediate defective protein localization intracellularly. These formulations permit lower concentrations of drugs to be administered, providing both cost and safety benefits.

摘要: The present invention relates to the detection of a cell proliferative disorder associated with alterations of microsatellite DNA in a sample. The microsatellite DNA can be contained within any of a variety of samples, such as urine, sputum, bile, stool, cervical tissue, saliva, tears or cerebral spinal fluid. The invention is a method to detect an allelic imbalance by assaying microsatellite DNA. Allelic imbalance is detected by observing an abnormality in an allele, such as an increase or decrease in microsatellite DNA which is at or corresponds to an allele. An increase can be detected as the appearance of a new allele. In practicing the invention, DNA amplification methods, particularly polymerase chain reactions, are useful for amplifying the DNA. DNA analysis methods can be used to detect such a decrease or increase. The invention is also a method to detect genetic instability of microsatellite DNA. Genetic instability is detected by observing an amplification or deletion of the small, tandem repeat DNA sequences in the microsatellite DNA which is at or corresponds to an allele. The invention is also a kit for practicing these methods.

摘要: The present invention provides a method of PCR, methylation specific PCR (MSP), for rapid identification of DNA methylation patterns in a CpG-containing nucleic acid. MSP uses the PCR reaction itself to distinguish between methylated and unmethylated DNA, which adds an improved sensitivity of methylation detection.

摘要: All eukaryotes that have been studied to date possess the ability to detect and degrade transcripts that contain a premature signal for the determination of translation. This process of nonsense-mediated RNA decay (NMRD) has been most comprehensively studied in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae where at least three trans-acting factors (Upf1p through Upf3p) are required. The present invention provides cDNAs encoding human and murine RENT1(regulator of nonsense transcripts). RENT1 is the first identified mammalian protein that contains all of the putative functional elements in Upf1p including zinc finger-like motifs and NTPase domains as well as all motifs common to members of helicase superfamily I. Moreover, expression of a chimeric protein, containing the central region of RENT1 flanked by the extreme N- and C-termini of Upf1p, complements the Upf1p-deficient phenotype in yeast.
