摘要:
The invention relates to nucleic acid molecules encoding (poly)peptides having LPI (Lectin Pathway Inhibitor) activity, to recombinant vectors harboring such molecules, and the host cells carrying the vectors. The invention further relates to methods for preparing recombinant (poly)peptides having LPI activity and to the use of such recombinant (poly)peptides having LPI activity for diagnosis, prophylaxis and treatment, such as the treatment of inflammation reactions. In addition the invention provides therapeutic and diagnostic compositions comprising as the active ingredient the (poly)peptide having LPI activity.
摘要:
The invention provides a method for typing a sample of an individual suffering from, or at risk of suffering from, a disease and a method for monitoring treatment of an individual suffering from a disease comprising determining whether a sample from said individual comprises an expression product of AC133 in an amount that is indicative for said disease or for the treatment thereof. Said amount is preferably quantified and compared with a reference value. In one aspect said amount is compared with an amount of said expression product present in a sample that was obtained from said individual before said treatment. A use of a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least part of a sequence of AC133 or an analogue thereof for monitoring a treatment of an individual suffering from a disease is also provided, as well as a diagnostic kit comprising such nucleic acid molecule.
摘要:
The invention relates to the adhesion of platelet GpIba to strand b3 of domain A1 of von Willebrand factor (vWF), said strand b3 comprising amino acid residues at amino acid position 560-566 and/or a functional part or equivalent thereof, said platelet GpIbalpha, said GpIbalpha region comprising an amino acid sequence corresponding to a beta-switch loop of platelet GpIbalpha, comprising amino acid residues at amino acid position 227-242 and/or a functional part or equivalent thereof. The invention provides a method to interfere with said adhesion of blood platelets to vWF comprising modulating said adhesion. The invention further provides proteinaceous compounds, antibodies, medicaments and pharmaceutical compositions to that end. The invention also provides means and methods to increase platelet adhesion by topical application of a compound increasing platelet adhesion.
摘要:
Method for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of at least one specific element, wherein signal of background tissue represented in an MR image is at least partially dephased by applying a gradient imbalance or additional gradient, wherein signal around said element is accordingly conserved, resulting in a selective depiction of said element.
摘要:
The invention relates to the field of oral drug delivery and more in particular, to oral dosage forms for delivery of a high dose of a therapeutically active acid-labile salt, such as sodium thiosulfate (STS). Provided is a pharmaceutical oral dosage form for controlled delivery of an acid-labile salt, the dosage form comprising a core comprising the acid-labile salt in a polymer matrix comprising a combination of (i) a pH-sensitive hydrophilic methacrylic acid-methyl methacrylate copolymer and (ii) a carbomer, wherein the acid-labile salt makes up at least 50wt% of the core; and wherein the outer surface of the core is provided with an enteric coating layer.
摘要:
An MRI system receive coil arrangement 3 for use with a main MRI scanner arrangement. The arrangement comprises at least one primary receive coil 6 having a first impedance at a predetermined frequency and a first size defined by a cross-sectional area bounded by the primary receive coil and at least one auxiliary receive coil 7 having a second impedance at said predetermined frequency and a second size defined by a cross-sectional area bounded by the auxiliary receive coil wherein the first impedance is lower than the second impedance and the first size is larger than the second size.
