摘要:
The present invention is a method for detecting the extent of DNA damage in a subject suspected of having DNA damage wherein the damage results in the formation of aldehyde moieties in DNA comprising, obtaining a DNA sample from the subject, combining the DNA sample with a fluorescent, chromogenic, pro-fluorescent or pro-chromogenic hydrazine compound to from a fluorescent DNA, detecting the presence of the fluorescent DNA by monitoring the fluorescent emission and quantitating the fluorescent emission thereby determining the extent of DNA damage in the subject.
摘要:
Disclosed are RNA targeting compounds having the formula : wherein j is an integer from 1 to 100; each i is the same or different and is zero or an integer from 1 to 100; each Z 1 represents the same or different linking moiety; each R 1 is the same or different and represents an alkyl group or an aryl group; each Q 1 represents the same or different RNA binding ligand; Q 2 is an alkyl group; Q 3 is a halogen, an alkyl group, an aryl group, or an amine. Also disclosed are RNA targeting compounds that include a polymer backbone and two or more pendant RNA binding ligands that are bound to the polymer backbone. Methods for using the subject RNA targeting compounds to treat myotonic dystrophy and other diseases are also disclosed, as are compounds that can be used to prepare the subject RNA targeting compounds.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing the presence or severity of liver fibrosis in an individual by detecting alpha2-macroglobulin (alpha2-MG) in a sample from the individual; detecting hyaluronic acid (HA) in a sample from the individual; detecting tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in a sample from the individual; and diagnosing the presence or severity of liver fibrosis in the individual based on the presence or level of alpha2-MG, HA and TIMP-1.
摘要:
This invention relates to genetic markers of mental illness, e.g., schizophrenia (SZ) and methods of use thereof. In particular, in vitro methods of predicting a human subject's likely response to treatment with olanzapine, risperidone, perphenazine or ziprasidone, of selecting a treatment for schizophrenia comprising administration of olanzapine, risperidone, perphenazine or ziprasidone, comprising detecting a haplotype comprising one or more polymorphic markers in PPP3CA or markers in linkage desiquilbrium (LD) therewith, are provided.
