摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is the production of recombinant virus through the cloning and expression of sequences of nucleotides encoding whole or part of heterologous proteins, through the following method: (a) modification of the heterologous nucleotides sequences in such way that when cloned and expressed in a vector virus, the 5′ region nucleotides present in the 5′ edge of the gene NS1 of this vector virus or of other virus or equivalent functional sequences, and in its 3′ region, the correspondent genome region in the whole or part of the domains of the stem and anchor of the protein E of the vector virus or equivalent functional sequences, and not comprising the structure and the replication of the mentioned vector virus; (b) insertion of the modified heterologous sequences in (a) in the intergenic region at the structural protein E level and of the nonstructural NS1 vector virus; (c) obtaining the non pathogenic recombinant virus with immunologic properties, having the heterologous sequences integrated in the viral genome according to the insertion described in (b) and, then expressing the heterologous antigen in such way that it can induce an appropriate immune response. The present invention is also addressed to vaccine compositions to immunize against the Flavivirus and/or other pathogens.
摘要:
The present invention relates to peptide fragments which have one or more shared and/or similar amino acid sequences to amino acid sequences of specific portions of the 14 kDa protein of S. mansoni (SM14) or related FABPs (Fatty Acid Binding Proteins), the peptide fragments functioning as continuous or discontinuous epitopic regions of the molecule or mimicking its biological activity. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for constructing active peptide fragments, peptide fragments, immunogenic compositions and diagnostic kits using peptide fragments.
摘要:
The invention relates to three isolated DNA molecules that encode for proteins, BigL1, BigL2 and BigL3, in the Leptospira sp bacterium which have repetitive Bacterial-Ig-like (Big) domains and their use in diagnostic, therapeutic and vaccine applications. According to the present invention, the isolated molecules encoding for BigL1, BigL2 and BigL3 proteins are used for the diagnosis and prevention of infection with Leptospira species that are capable of producing disease in humans and other mammals, including those of veterinary importance.

摘要:
The present invention refers to a selection method of peptides, peptides, method and kit for the identification of infections by Mycobacterium leprae, as well as to pharmaceutical and immunological compositions containing as active principle(s), peptide(s) of Mycobacterium leprae or sequences functionally similar to the same one(s).
摘要:
The primary objective of the present invention is the development of new mutant forms of the Sm14 protein, for producing a greater production volume. The recombinant proteins here obtained were capable of providing protection against schistosome and fasciola infection. The level of protection of Sm14 recombinant proteins obtained in the present invention was similar to that reached in the parasite saline extract. The mutant proteins of the present invention have reached approximately 100% of renaturation after the heating at 80° C., different from wild forms of the Sm14 protein. Moreover, after storage for 2 months at 4° C., mutant proteins have shown smaller β-structure loss than wild forms that have shown formation with random structure, as demonstrated by the circular dichroism analysis, indicating the success of mutations.
摘要:
The principal aim of the present invention is to afford a bioinsecticide dry composition based on entomotoxines of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis, which is characterized by its practicability, economy and efficacy in controlling Dipteral insects, being, at the same time, ecologically safe.

摘要:
The present invention refers to the design of an artificial calibrating virus (ACV), as well as a methodology quality guarantee system, which has controlling characteristics in the performance of all the stages carried out during a detection and/or quantification molecular test. More specifically, the referred to ACV is used for the validation and calibration of quantitative determinations of circulating viruses in blood plasma samples by means of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology in real time (or ‘real time PCR’).
