摘要:
A highly stable nucleic acid-polysaccharide complex of an siRNA and schizophyllan is formed by adding polydeoxyadenine in which at least part of the phosphodiester link portion is phosphorothioated to an siRNA and allowing the siRNA and schizophyllan to form a complex.
摘要:
Disclosed is a complex which comprises a carbon nanotube and a modified polysaccharide having a backbone chain with the side thereof being introduced with monosaccharide or oligosaccharide residues. The polysaccharide is preferably β-1,3-glucan. The complex is prepared by admixing a solution of the modified polysaccharide dissolved in an aprotic polar solvent or a strong alkali solution with an aqueous dispersion of the carbon nanotube, and incubating the mixture.

摘要:
The present invention provides a nucleic acid-polysaccharide complex that is highly stable and has reduced cytotoxicity in a high yield. That is, the present invention provides a nucleic acid-polysaccharide complex of an antisense DNA having polydeoxyadenine (dA) as a polysaccharide binding site and a polysaccharide having a β-1,3-glucan skeleton wherein at least part of phosphodiester links of the polydeoxyadenine is phosphorothioated (provided that the phosphodiester links of the antisense DNA and the polydeoxyadenine are not entirely phosphorothioated).

摘要:
Disclosed are gene carriers utilizing β-1,3-glucan and methods of preparing the same. The β-1,3-glucan has at least one 1,6-glucopyranoside branch and is chemically modified through periodate oxidation and reductive amination so as to impart nucleic acid-binding functional groups (for example, cationic functional groups) to at least some of the 1,6-glucopyranoside branches thereof. Triple helix β-1,3-glucan is dissolved in a polar organic solvent to form single-stranded β-1,3-glucan. By replacing, in the presence of a nucleic acid, the polar organic solvent for the solution containing the chemically modified single-stranded β-1,3-glucan by water, a complex (gene carrier) is formed in which the nucleic acid is bound to double-stranded β-1,3-glucan.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for manufacturing cast parts by means of a lost wax process which is fully automated and unmanned. The wax tree coating processes, ranging from after a wax tree manufacturing step to immediately before a dewaxing step comprises a handling device for handling wax trees, a pair of slurry fluid dipping baths disposed with the handling device in between, a pair of sanding fluidized bed tanks disposed with the handling device in between, and a pair of conveyors for suspending and transferring the wax trees for not less than given drying time, wherein the handling device chucks the wax tree suspended and transferred by the conveyor at a given transfer position by means of a clamp unit of the handling device, moves the wax tree to the slurry fluid dipping bath and then to the sanding fluidized bed tank to coat the wax tree with a slurry fluid and sand, and returns the coated wax tree to the hanger conveyor again, with the sequence of operations automatically controlled by a controller.
摘要:
An insoluble and infusible substrate with a polyacene-type skelatal structure having a hydrogen/carbon atomic ratio of from 0.05 to 0.60 and containing open pores having an average diameter of not more than 10 micrometers, said substrate being a heat-treated product of an aromatic condensation polymer consisting of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The substrate, when doped with a dopant, gives an electrically conductive material. When having a specific surface area of at least 600 m.sup.2 /g, the substrate is especially useful as an electrode of an organic cell.
摘要:
Disclosed is a gene carrier composed of a hydrogen-bonding polymer having a polymer chain with hydrogen-bonding sites formed on the polymer chain, in which the polymer chain has a conformation similar to the conformation of a nucleic acid, and particularly, the polymer chain has helix parameters similar to the helix parameters of a nucleic acid of a helix structure. In a preferred embodiment, the hydrogen-bonding polymer is composed of β-1,3-glucan such as schizophyllan. The carrier can be expected to be applied as a vector and a separator for nucleic acids because it is capable of interacting with a nucleic acid to form a complex with the nucleic acid and thus carrying the nucleic acid.
摘要:
A microphone unit (1) has a first vibration plate. A support member (6) supports the microphone unit (1). A second vibration plate (5) is fixed to the support member (6) at a predetermined distance from the first vibration plate. An armoring body (2) covers the microphone unit (1), the support member (6) and the second vibration plate (5). A space surrounded by the support member (6), the first vibration plate and the second vibration plate (5) is a closed space (S1) with air kept therein.
