    摘要: The present invention provides methods for the isolation, identification, and purification of adrenomedullin (AM)-binding proteins. Also, provided are methods for utilizing the purified AM-binding proteins, or functional portions thereof, to diagnose, treat, and monitor AM-related diseases, for example, diseases or disorders associated with abnormally elevated AM levels. In addition, the present invention provides a newly identified complex between AM and a specific AM-binding protein 1 (AMBP-1); which has been isolated and identified herein as factor H (fH). The invention also provides AM/AMBP complexes, particularly AM/FH complexes, and antibodies specifically reactive with this complexes. Further provided are methods for identifying and purifying complexes of AM and an AM binding protein using anti-AM/fH antibodies, and methods for treating conditions such as cancer or diabetes utilizing compositions comprising these antibodies. The present invention additionally provides methods for identifying antagonists agents that inhibit the function of AM, factor H, or the AM/factor H complex. The invention also provides methods for treating conditions such as cancer or diabetes using these antagonist agents.

    摘要: The present invention provides a new protocol for quantifying multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In particular, the present invention provides methods of quantifying multiple PCR products or amplicons in a single real-time PCR reaction based on the different melting temperatures (Tm) of each amplicon and the emission changes of double stranded DNA dyes such as SYBR Green I when amplicons are in duplex or in separation. For a specific amplicon with a Tm, the emission difference between the emission reading taken at a temperature below the Tm and the emission reading taken at a temperature above the Tm corresponds to the emission value of the amplicon in duplex. Accordingly, the emission difference of each amplicon in a single PCR reaction can be used to quantify each amplicon. The present invention further provides computer programs or computer products which perform the methods described herein.
