摘要:
Nucleic acid and amino acid sequences of a BRCA1 Associated Protein, BAP-1, are provided. These sequences, the protein, and anti-BAP-1 antibodies are useful in therapeutics and diagnostics for cancers associated with loss of the 3p21 chromosomal region and/or inappropriate BAP-1 levels.
摘要:
Vaccines which generate an immunogenic T cell response protective against a rabies virus disease state, comprise an immunologically effective amount of (1) a peptide-fatty acid conjugate, (2) a liposome composition and (3) an adjuvant. The conjugate (1) has the formula where R′ and R˝ are alkyl groups containing 5 to 30 carbon atoms, and R‴ is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and at least one amino acid residue, and X is an amino acid sequence corresponding to that of a peptide fragment derived from a protein of the virus which produces a T cell response, or a synthetic replica of said fragment.
摘要:
DNA molecules are separated by a gel electrophoresis method which employes alternating higher and lower strength, electric fields applied in opposite directions to a gel matrix containing DNA. The higher strength field is maintained for a shorter interval than the lower strength field, and the ratio of the product of the lower strength field and its pulse interval to the product of the higher strength field and its pulse interval is greater than 4:1 and sufficient to produce a net migration of the DNA molecules in the direction of the lower strength field.
摘要:
It has been determined that nerve growth factor binds to a cell surface protein of human neural crest origin having a molecular weight of about 75,000 daltons. New monoclonal antibodies specifically imunoprecipitate these receptor molecules, and also inhibit binding of the hormone to the receptor. These monoclonal antibodies show significantly higher reactivity with primary and metastatic melanoma cell lines than with melanocytes. The antibodies are used as the basis of a method of diagnosing neural crest disease.
