摘要:
An assay for infection with one or more herpes simplex viruses that comprises a) dividing an antibody-containing serum sample into at least three serum subsamples, and b) separately incubating each with a physical matrix of cell antigens from i) uninfected cells, (ii) HSV-1-infected cells, or (iii) HSV-2-infected cells to form at least three serum subsample admixtures so that antibodies present in each admixture can immunoreact to form matrix-bound antibodies and at least three preadsorbed serum subsample portions. Each preadsorbed serum subsample portion is incubated with a mixture of matrix-bound antigens from cells uninfected by HSV-1 or HSV-2, infected by each of HSV-1 and by HSV-2 to permit antibodies to immunoreact with antigens present to form three matrix-bound immunoreactants. The amount of each immunoreaction is determined, and reaction amounts are prognostic for whether the subject whose serum was tested is infected by one, both, or neither of HSV-1 and HSV-2.
摘要:
Disclosed are a protein and a gene each of which is a factor involved in latent infection with a herpesvirus. An antibody against the factor was detected in approximately 50% of patients suffering from mental disorders, whereas the antibody was hardly detected in healthy persons. Further, a mouse having SITH-1 introduced therein developed a mental disorder such as a manic-depressive illness or depression-like disorder. Based on these findings, it is possible to provide a method for objectively determining a mental disorder and an animal model of a mental disorder.

Die Erfindung betrifft ein mehrschichtiges biologisches in vitro-Gewebe, enthaltend: Dermisschicht, enthaltend eine Kollagenbiomatrix mit darin eingebetteten Fibroblasten und Epidermisschicht, enthaltend Epithelzellen. Es ist vorgesehen, dass zumindest in die Dermisschicht latent viral infizierte neuronale Zellen integriert sind.

摘要:
The present invention discloses microarray-based methods for the diagnosis of Herpes Virus infection from peripheral blood samples. It discloses the expression of host’s disease-associated genes and their use in assays for diagnosis and assessment of animal with herpes virus infection. This invention allows monitoring of an infected animal’s immune response and thus enables better treatment and management decisions to be made in clinical and sub-clinically affected animals.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for measuring of the interaction between at least one target molecule and at least one receptor molecule using a piezo-electric crystal micro balance, where at least one type of the molecules is immobilised, whereby at least one crystal is brought into oscillation by means of a driving circuit, and measuring the dissipation (D) and/or change in dissipation (ΔD) during driving and/or after switching off the driving circuit.
