摘要:
The present invention is based on the surprising finding of a proteolytic cleavage function of human Malt1. More particularly, the present invention relates to enzyme and screening assays, methods for assessing cleaving activity, methods for screening, isolated polypeptides, antibodies and inhibitors of Malt1. The present invention also relates to the use of Malt1 as a proteolytic enzyme and the use of compounds comprising a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence according to any one of SEQ ID NO: 1-47 as substrates susceptible for specific proteolytic cleavage.
摘要:
The present invention concerns an oligomer comprising more than 2 units, wherein each unit comprises a peptidic domain capable of oligomerizing and a domain capable of binding to an acceptor (ligand), wherein the oligomerizing domain is not an antibody or a functional antibody fragment from the constant region. Also described is the use and synthesis of this oligomer.

The invention relates to sequences of amino acids with the capacity to facilitate transport of an effector across a biological membrane. More specifically, the present invention relates to novel peptide transporters that specifically target certain cell types for the intracellular delivery of drugs and therapeutic agents.

Provided is a high performance cannula having a proximal end, a distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends, wherein the diameter of the lumen of the cannula can be varied to take into account differences in the diameter of access and target vessels during cannulation. The cannula is characterized by a narrow diameter at the point of insertion that does not adversely impact the flow rate of fluids through the cannula. The cannulas according to this invention produce a small access aperture and are characterized by flow rates that are at least as effective as those of conventional cannulas that produce larger access apertures.

The present invention addresses the problem of acute deficiencies of trace elements observed in critically ill patients and/or patients receiving parenteral nutrition - toxicity issues are intergrated. In order to solve the problem, the invention provides a kit for parenterally administrating trace elements to a patient, the kit comprising a basic unit of trace elements and at least one supplementary unit, the supplementary unit comprising supplementary trace elements so as to address the specific needs in trace elements of a specific patient. According to an embodiment, the invention provides a supplementary unit for patients diagnosed with SIRS, suffering from burns, patients on continuous renal replacement therapy and patients residing in selenium-poor countries.

摘要:
Overall ratios of ribosomal DNA and ribosomal RNA in microorganisms following exposure to an antimicrobial is shown to correspond to the presence and viability of the microorganism. Methods are provided to assess the presence and viability of microorganisms, by administering an antimicrobial to a population of microorganisms having a first and second marker, quantifying the first and second markers, and determining the ratio between the quantity of the first and second marker. A concordant result indicates the presence of viable microorganisms, whereas a discordant result indicates the presence of non-viable microorganisms.
