摘要:
First, the present inventors assessed the effect of the compound represented by formula (III) below on Huh-7 cells infected with HBV, and demonstrated that the compound alone had an anti-HBV effect in vitro.Formula (III) Then, the present inventors revealed that the HBV replication-suppressing effect of PEG-IFN is enhanced in chimeric mice having a human liver infected with genotype C or A HBV when PEG-IFN is used in combination with the compound represented by formula (III) above. The present inventors also revealed that the HBV replication-suppressing effect of Entecavir is enhanced in chimeric mice having a human liver infected with genotype C HBV (wild-type and Entecavir-resistant strains) when Entecavir is used in combination with the compound represented by formula (III) above. In addition, the present inventors revealed that the compound represented by formula (III) above exerts the anti-HBV effect not only against wild-type HBV strains but also against Entecavir- and/or Lamivudine-resistant HBV strains.
摘要:
A subgenomic replicon RNA (nucleic acid) having an excellent autonomously replicating ability and a fullgenomic replicon RNA (nucleic acid) having an excellent autonomously replicating ability and infectious HCV particle-producing ability, each derived from a novel HCV of genotype 1b, are provided. Particularly, a subgenomic replicon RNA (nucleic acid) and a fullgenomic replicon RNA (nucleic acid), each derived from an HCV genome of the NC1 strain which is a novel HCV genotype 1b isolated from a patient with acute severe hepatitis C, are provided.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to developing a glycan markers capable of detecting a hepatic disease, and more specifically to developing a glycan marker indicating a hepatic disease-state. Furthermore, the present invention is also directed to developing a glycan marker capable of distinguishing hepatic disease-states with the progress of hepatocarcinoma. The present inventors identified, among the serum glycoproteins, glycopeptides and glycoproteins in which a glycan structure specifically changes due to a hepatic diseases including hepatocarcinoma and provide these as novel glycan markers (glycopeptide and glycoprotein) specific to hepatic disease-states.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide a method for measuring a glycan-marker glycoprotein, by which liver disease can be detected with higher accuracy than is possible with conventional methods. Also, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for examining liver disease, by which liver disease can be detected with higher accuracy than is possible with conventional methods. Disclosed is a method for measuring at least one glycoprotein selected from alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) and Mac-2-binding protein (M2BP) contained in a sample collected from a subject, comprising: measuring AGP binding to a first lectin selected from AOL and MAL, when the glycoprotein is AGP; and measuring M2BP binding to a second lectin selected from WFA, BPL, AAL, RCA120, and TJAII, when the glycoprotein is M2BP.

摘要:
The present invention provides (i) a method for proliferating a hepatitis virus, the method including the steps of: infecting, with the hepatitis virus, cells packed into a lumen of a hollow fiber made of a permeabilized membrane; and culturing the cells or (ii) a method for proliferating a hepatitis virus, the method including the steps of: infecting cells with the hepatitis virus; packing the cells into a lumen of a hollow fiber made of a permeabilized membrane; and culturing the cells. This provides an experimental system for infecting in vitro culture cells with a hepatitis virus such as HBV or HCV and then proliferating the hepatitis virus.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a novel clinical examination method which comprises analyzing the alteration in the amount of a specific component in oligosaccharides of immunogloblin G. Human diseases such as liver diseases, malignant hypertension, immunogloblin A-nephropathy, pediatric disorders, etc., are examined in terms of the alteration in bisecting N-acetylglucosamine-containing oligosaccharides in immunogloblin G from collected humor. The present invention provides highly accurate information in a manner applicable to practical operation for examination of liver diseases, allergic diseases, malignant hypertension, immunogloblin A nephropathy, pediatric disorders, as well as aging-dependent variations and the therapeutic effect of interferon.
