摘要:
A molecular tool for use in a method of providing a molecule that is capable of binding a target molecule based on a set of polypeptides. A polypeptide having a sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs 1-32. The polypeptide may be used in a method of screening for a ligand-polypeptide conjugate capable of binding a target molecule for the ligand. A ligand-polypeptide conjugate, useful e.g. in therapy.
摘要:
The present invention provides isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding a Herpesviridae thymidine kinase enzyme comprising one or more mutations, at least one of the mutations encoding an amino acid substitution located toward the N-terminus from a DRH nucleoside binding site which increases a biological activity of the thymidine kinase, as compared to unmutated thymidine kinase. Such mutations include amino acid substitutions within a Q substrate binding domain which increases a biological activity of the thymidine kinase, as compared to unmutated thymidine kinase. Within a further aspect, fusion proteins are provided which have both guanylate kinase and thymidine kinase biological properties. Also provided are vectors suitable for expressing such DNA molecules, as well as methods for utilizing such vectors.

摘要:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide immunogenic peptides which are specifically upward controlled with tumor cells of lung cancer tissues, are useful for killing the tumor cells, and are originated from TTK, URLC10 or KOC1. SOLUTION: There are provided: peptides comprising specific amino acid sequences; as well as peptides comprising the above amino acid sequences in which 1, 2, or several amino acids are substituted, deleted, or added, and having cytotoxic T cell inducibility. Medicines for treating or preventing tumors comprises these peptides. The peptides can also be used as vaccines. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
摘要:
A vaccine effective against Marek's disease virus (MDV) comprises (a) an MDV attenuated by virtue of being TK or (b) a host expressing an MDV antigen, namely the respective MDV homologues of the HSV gB, gC, gD or gH glycoproteins (or antigenic parts thereof) or the respective MDV homologues of the HSV-1 immediate early genes IE-68 or IE-175. The host may be a herpes virus of turkeys (HVT), more particularly HVT in which the MDV antigen is inserted in the HVT homologue of the HSV gC gene, the ribonucleotide reductase (large subunit) gene or the thymidine kinase (TK) gene.
