摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of the frequency value of filopodia generation in a sample cell population as a biological marker for determining the cancerous, metastatic cancerous or normal phenotype of said cell population. It also relates to a method for determining in vitro the cancerous, metastatic cancerous or normal phenotype of cells contained in a sample, wherein said method comprises a step of in vitro measuring the frequency of filopodia generation in the cells contained in the sample. The present invention further concerns methods for the screening of the carcinogenic properties of a compound or of the metastatic properties of a compound which make use of the general method described above.
摘要:
The present invention relates to vaccine compositions comprising an attenuated mutant Zika virus. The inventors have introduced mutations at very specific positions that abrogate the N-glycosylation site on the E protein of the epidemic strain which will prevent the generation of auto-antibodies responsible for Guillain-Barre syndrome. The inventors have also produced additional mutations of the virus that result to a dramatic reduction of the cytopathic effects without affecting the capacity to produce high titers of virus. In particular, the present invention relates to an attenuated mutant Zika virus comprising a protein E of the epidemic strain wherein at least one amino acid residue at position 152, 156 or 158 is mutated.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a method of testing a subject thought to be predisposed to having a metastatic cancer which comprises the step of i) analyzing a biological sample from said subject for detecting the presence of a p53 isoform selected in the group consisting in Δ133p53, Δ133p53γ and Δ133p53β, the presence of said p53 isoform being indicative of a metastatic cancer.
