摘要:
Large comb-type branched polynucleotides useful as amplifier molecules in nucleic acid hybridization assays are provided, the polynucleotides comprising: a polynucleotide backbone having at least about 15 multifunctional nucleotides, each of which defines a sidechain site and a first single-stranded oligonucleotide unit that is capable of binding specifically to a first single-stranded polynucleotide sequence of interest; and pendant polynucleotide sidechains extending from said multifunctional nucleotides each comprising iterations of a second single-stranded oligonucleotide unit that is capable of binding specifically to a second single-stranded polynucleotide sequence of interest, the total number of iterations in all sidechains being at least 20. Methods of making these polynucleotides are also provided.

The invention provides compostions for administering memantine to a subject. Memantine in an extended release form containing 22.5 to 30 mg memantine or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt achieves particular pharmacokinetic criteria such as change in plasma concentration of memantine over time and ratio of maximum memantine plasma concentration to mean memantine plasma concentration.

The present invention provides novel methods and compositions for the treatment and prevention of CNS-related conditions. One of the CNS-related conditions treated by the methods and compositions of the invention is Alzheimer's disease.
摘要:
Kits for synthesizing multiple copies of a target nucleic acid sequence autocatalytically under conditions of substantially constant temperature, ionic strength, and pH are provided in which multiple RNA copies of the target sequence autocatalytically generate additional copies. These methods are useful for generating copies of a nucleic acid target sequence for purposes which include assays to quantitate specific nucleic acid sequences in clinical, environmental, forensic and similar samples, cloning and generating probes.
