PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition that stimulates an immune response to secretory enterohemorrhagic escherichia coli (EHEC) antigen, and a method therefor.SOLUTION: Provided is a vaccine composition is characterized by containing supernatant of enterohemorrhagic escherichia (EHEC) cell culture solution and immunoadjuvant, wherein the supernatant of the EHEC cell culture solution contains a mixture of antigen secreted by type III secretion system. The immunoadjuvant contains at least one selected from a group consisting of an emulsifier, muramyl dipeptide, water-soluble adjuvant, chitosan-based adjuvant, saponin, oil, lipopolysaccharide, bacterial cell wall extract, bacterial DNA, acid-fast bacterial cell wall complex, synthetic oligonucleotide, and aliphatic nitrogenous base. The subject of the vaccine composition is a mammal, especially a ruminant such as a bovine and a sheep.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate fully lipid-encapsulated therapeutic agent particles.SOLUTION: A charged lipid which has a charge which is opposite to the charge of the charged therapeutic agent and a modified lipid having a steric barrier moiety for control of aggregation are formed. The lipid vesicles are prepared by combining a lipid composition containing preformed lipid vesicles, a charged therapeutic agent, and a destabilizing agent to form a mixture of preformed vesicles and therapeutic agent in a destabilizing solvent. The destabilizing solvent is effective to destabilize the membrane of the preformed lipid vesicles without disrupting the vesicles. The resulting mixture is incubated for a period of time sufficient to allow the encapsulation of the therapeutic agent within the preformed lipid vesicles. The destabilizing agent is then removed to yield fully lipid-encapsulated therapeutic agent particles.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition for treating psoriasis without accompanying adverse effects. SOLUTION: A use of a therapeutically effective amount of fucan in producing therapeutic agent is provided. The therapeutic agent is produced in a slow releasing polymer formulation. The polymer formulation includes a film, a patch, a paste, microspheres, an implant, gel, spray or a liquid. The therapeutic agent is the formulation of a pharmaceutical composition comprising at least one out of cream, paste, an injectable excipient and a polymer and may contain the fucan and at least 1 therapeutically effective amount of one other drug.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a pharmaceutical composition for diseases caused by infections of enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC), enterohemorrhagic E. coli (EHEC) and the like. SOLUTION: Use of one of following items is provided: (i) a translocated intimin receptor polypeptide including a specific amino acid sequence or a substantially the same amino acid sequence, (ii) a polypeptide (i) nucleating actin and activating signal transmission pathways in host cells, (iii) a polypeptide (i) specifically binding to a Tir-specific antibody, (iv) a polypeptide (i) inducing immune response to EHEC in a host, (v) (a) a polynucleotide containing a specific nucleic acid sequence, (b) a polynucleotide described in (a) in which T is U, (c) a polynucleotide containing a nucleic acid sequence complementary to (a) or (b), or (d) a polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide containing a specific amino acid sequence, and (vi) a vector containing a polynucleotide (v).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recombinant production method of cationic peptides and a polycationic antimicrobial peptide. SOLUTION: Isolated peptides that include a peptide having the amino acid sequence No.24 (refer to the specification) are provided. An isolated polynucleotide encoding the peptide having the amino acid sequence No.24 is provided. In the method, when microorganisms, particularly gram-positive or -negative bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus are brought into contact with the peptides, the proliferation of these bacteria is suppressed. The antimicrobial cationic peptide can be dosed in combination with at least one of antibiotics. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide use of RNAi sequences in the treatment of cancers of various types, including prostate cancer, sarcomas such as osteosarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, anaplastic large cell lymphoma and melanoma and in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, and a method of treating such diseases through the administration of RNA molecules with RNAi activity to an individual, including a human individual in need of such treatment.SOLUTION: RNAi sequences are useful as therapeutics in the treatment of cancers of various types, including prostate cancer, sarcomas such as osteosarcoma, renal cell carcinoma, breast cancer, bladder cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, ovarian cancer, undifferentiated large cell lymphoma and melanoma and in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. These sequences target clusterin, IGFBP-5, IGFBP-2, both IGFBP-2 and IGFBP-5 simultaneously, Mitf, and B-raf.
摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To apply an alternating drive field and an alternating field that alters mobility of particles in a method and apparatus for moving and concentrating the particles.SOLUTION: In the method, the driving field and mobility-varying field are correlated with one another. The method and apparatus may be used to concentrate DNA or RNA in a medium, for example. The method and apparatus for extracting particles from one medium into another involve applying an alternating driving field that causes net drift of the particles from the first medium into the second medium but no net drift of the particles in the second medium.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide genetically engineered human neural stem cells, and surviving descendent of the stem cells, and clones of the stem cells.SOLUTION: The stable clones of the neural stem cells (NSC) are isolated from a human fetal telencephalon. These self-renewing clones can give rise to all of three kinds of fundamental neural cell types (neurons, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes) spontaneously in vitro. These NSCs can participate in the aspects of normal development like their rodent counterparts following engraftment in the germinal zones of a developing new born mouse brain. These include migration to disseminated CNS regions along with well established migratory pathways, differentiation to developmentally- and regionally- appropriate cell types in response to the micro-environmental stimulus, and non-disruptive, non-tumorigenic interspersion with host progenitors.
