摘要:
A new and distinct cultivar of Poinsettia plant named ‘LAZZP01531’, characterized by its upright “V”- shaped and uniformly mounding plant habit; moderately vigorous to vigorous growth habit; freely branching habit and strong stems; dark green-colored leaves; full inflorescences with medium to large deep red-colored flower bracts; and excellent post-production longevity.
摘要:
The present invention describes a method to inhibit replication of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by negatively modulating or altering the cytoskeleton, more precisely the proteins forming the intermediate cytoskeletal filaments, wherein the said proteins are vimentin and/or keratin-10. The replication of the virus is inhibited in human cells by intervening in the structure of these proteins. The present invention is also related to the use of agents, which comprise peptides and/or interfering RNA and/or lipidic compounds, said agents producing a negative modulation or alteration of the cytoskeleton to prevent or to treat the HIV infection. The invention provides means and methods for altering the cytoskeleton/filament structure of cells, as a result of which the infection of human cells by HIV is disturbed and can even be completely inhibited. The cytoskeleton is altered by reducing the amount of vimentin and/or keratin (e.g. by transcriptional control using interfering RNA) or by using peptides that disrupt the cytoskeleton.
摘要:
The present invention is related with the isolation and cloning of a new gene, the production of the protein encoded by this gene by using recombinant systems, and the use of this antigen in a vaccine formulation as a purified protein and/or naked DNA, to induce an immune response in aquatic organisms against different ectoparasite species, including the known as sea lice, and pathogens associated with these infestations. The vaccine preparations, administered by oral route, immersion bath or injection, demonstrated its efficacy by producing IgM humoral immune response and reducing the number of parasites per fish in the vaccinated fishes.
摘要:
The present invention relates to identification and isolation of zinc finger transcription factor in tomato that specifically expresses in glandular trichomes of Solanum lycopersicum cultivar Moneymaker and binds to the promoters of the genes encoding Terpene Synthase 5 (also known as Monoterpene Synthase 1) and Terpene Synthase 11 (also known as Sesquiterpene Synthase 1). The invention provides the isolated, recombinant or synthetic polynucleotides encoding the polypeptide sequences of SEQ ID NO:2 and variants and fragments thereof. The invention also provides constructs, vectors, host cells and plants genetically modified to contain the polynucleotides of the invention. The methods for producing plants with altered levels of terpenes, including transformed and mutant plants, are also provided.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition that comprises polymeric microspheres containing epidermal growth factor (EGF) for the application, by the parenteral route, into the lower limbs of diabetic patients with cutaneous chronic ischemic ulcerative wounds. The pharmaceutical composition described herein, in contrast with the state of the art, is useful because reduce the administration frequency during the treatment and allows for the healing of the ulcerative wounds in a shorter time interval with respect to the injection of equivalent quantities of non-encapsulated EGF.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for diagnosis or prognosis of liver autoimmune diseases by means of detecting specific biomarkers in biological samples. The invention refers also to a method of monitoring an autoimmune liver disease pathology status after treatment with surgery and/or therapy in a subject with autoimmune liver disease, to kits and microarrays to perform said methods.
摘要:
The present invention is related with the field of Biomedicine. It comprises the engineering of the Pertactin protein (Prn) and using it as part of bacterial vaccines, and more precisely, as part of acellular vaccines against Bordetella pertusis. The engineered Prn molecules comprise on their structure polimorfisms from different B. pertussis strains, and induce immune responses with protective capacity and opsonophagocytic activity when assayed as vaccines, higher than that generated by other pre-existing vaccines. The engineered Prn variants of the present invention are applicable in human and veterinary medicine.
摘要:
The present invention reveals a nucleic acid sequence from Nicotiana megalosiphon encoding for an anti-pathogenic protein. The invention comprises the use of this nucleic acid molecule in transgenic plants of agricultural interest to confer resistance to pathogens. The invention also includes a bioproduct that comprises this anti-pathogenic protein to control plant pathogen agents.
摘要:
The invention utilizes clinical features of diseases with a genetic background to define logical panels of diseases which have shared signs or symptoms. The invention includes methods for collecting data for use in determining a cause or risk factor for disease and includes micro arrays for use in detecting mutations associated with the diseases set forth in the panel.
摘要:
The invention relates to a dual-recognition immunoassay for the detection of antibodies specific to a target antigen in a sample which comprises contacting said target antigen with a sample suspected of containing said antibodies specific to said target antigen under conditions allowing the formation of an antigen-antibody complex; adding a conjugate comprising said target antigen and a marker under conditions allowing the formation of an antigen-antibody-antigen/marker complex; and detecting said antigen-antibody-antigen/marker complex. The immunoassay can be used, among other applications, in the diagnosis of infections caused by pathogenic organisms with high sensitivity and specificity.
