The present invention relates generally to a method of regenerating the hippocampus in a mammal and agents for use therein. More particularly, the present invention provides a method of regenerating the hippocampus in a mammal by administering a sub-population of neural crest stem cells. The method of the present invention is useful in the treatment of conditions characterised by a defective hippocampus, such as neuropsychiatric disorders.

The present invention relates to a method of treating Philadelphia-positive leukemia (Ph+ leukemia), in a particular chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), in a human patient population. More specifically, the present invention pertains to a method of treating Ph+ leukemia, such as CML or Ph+ ALL, in a human patient suffering from Ph+ leukemia comprising the steps of (a) administering a predetermined fixed amount of Imatinib as a free base or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof to the human patient, (b) collecting at least one blood sample from the patient, e.g. within the first 12 months of treatment, (c) determining the plasma trough level (Cmin) of Imatinib, (d) determining the OCT-1 Activity in the blood sample, and (e) adjusting the dose of Imatinib applied to the individual patient in a manner that an Imatinib Cmin value is achieved in the patient of at least 800 ng/mL, if in step (c) an Imatinib Cmin value of less than 800 ng/mL is found and in step (d) an OCT-1 Activity is found below 6.0 to 10.0 ng/200,000 cells..

The present invention relates to isolated polypeptides which comprise a functional kinase domain comprising the amino acid sequence of the native human Abl kinase domain or an essentially similar sequence thereof in which at least one amino acid selected from Met244, Leu248, Gly250, Glu252, Tyr253, Val256, Glu258, Phe311, lle333, Phe317, Met318, Met351, Glu355, Glu359, lle360, His361, Leu370, Asp381, Phe382, His396, Ser417, Glu459 and Phe486 is replaced by another amino acid, said mutated functional kinase domain being resistant to inhibition of its tyrosine kinase activity by N-[4-methyl-3-(4-pyridin-3-yl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)-phenyl]-4-(4-methyl-piperazin-1-ylmethyl)-benzamide or a salt thereof, to the use of such polypeptides to screen for compounds which inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of such polypeptides, to nucleic acid molecules encoding such polypeptides, to recombinant vectors and host cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules and to the use of such nucleic acid molecules in the production of such polypeptides for use in screening for compounds which inhibit the tyrosine kinase activity of such polypeptides.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of screening for a neoplastic cell in a subject. More particularly, the present invention provides a method of screening for both viable neoplastic cells and, still further, cytotoxin induced neoplastic cell death by detecting the level of expression of La protein and/or gene by a cellular population in said subject or in a biological sample derived from said subject. The method of the present invention is useful in a range of applications including, but not limited to, diagnosing, prognosing or assessing a neoplastic condition, monitoring the progression of such a condition, assessing the effectiveness of a therapeutic agent or therapeutic regime and predicting the likelihood of a subject either progressing to a more advanced disease state or entering a remissive state. The present invention also provides diagnostic agents useful for detecting La protein and/or nucleic acid molecules.
摘要:
A streaker device for streaking a microbial inoculum for single colonies on the surface of a solid growth medium. The streaking device has a row of spaced apart contact surfaces for contact with the surface of the solid growth medium. The spaced apart contact surfaces are resiliently flexibly supported by a common support member so as to accommodate variations in depth of growth medium. The spaced apart contact surfaces may be provided on lowermost part of axially curved portions of plastics straps, that are angled backwardly. It is found that formation of a single band can give separation into single colonies. Also provided is an automatic streaking apparatus.
