摘要:
The present invention relates to the Multiple Tumor Suppressor (MTS) genes in mice, their expression products, and their homology to the human MTS genes. The human MTS genes are involved in human cancers. The invention is further related to the use of the MTS genes in the therapy, diagnosis and prognosis of human cancer. The invention further relates to mutations in the MTS gene and their use in the diagnosis of predisposition to melanoma, leukemia, astrocytoma, glioblastoma, lymphoma, glioma, Hodgkin's lymphoma, CLL, and cancers of the pancreas, breast, thyroid, ovary, uterus, testis, kidney, stomach and rectum. The invention also relates to the therapy of human cancers which have a mutation in the MTS gene, including gene therapy, protein replacement therapy and protein mimetics. Finally, the invention relates to the screening of drugs for cancer therapy.

The present invention is directed to cloning the ends of genes. Traditionally it has been very difficult to recover the 5' end of a gene. The present invention greatly eases this problem. The invention is a variation on RACE and uses a combination of techniques. Specific genes are purified by using three enrichment steps--1) a polymerase chain reaction, 2) a hybrid capture step, and 3) a second polymerase chain reaction. The inclusion of the hybrid capture step results in a greater enrichment than occurs with RACE. The ends of the gene are retained by use of a novel technique of attaching adaptors at the ends of the nucleic. The 5' end of the gene is conserved by preparing a first strand of cDNA and ligating to this an adaptor which is partially double stranded wherein the overhang or single stranded region of the adaptor is degenerate which allows for a fraction of the adaptor population to hybridize with the first strand of cDNA at the 3' end of the cDNA. This hybridization holds the adaptor in conjunction with the cDNA during the ligation step thereby resulting in a highly efficient ligation. The unique portion of the adaptor is used to design an oligomer to prime the second strand synthesis. None of the 5' sequence is lost in this method thereby allowing for a greater possibility of recovering the extreme 5' end of the gene.

Provided are combinations, compositions and kits containing a hyaluronan degrading enzyme, such as a soluble hyaluronidase, for treatment of hyaluronan-associated conditions, diseases and disorders. In one example, the products include an additional agent or treatment. Such products can be used in methods for administering the products to treat the hyaluronan-associated diseases and conditions, for example, hyaluronan-associated cancers, for example, hyaluronan-rich tumors. The methods include administration of the hyaluronan degrading enzyme composition alone or in combination with other treatments. Also provided are methods and compositions for providing sustained treatment effects in hyaluronan-associated diseases and conditions.
摘要:
A client device presents a resource to a user. In order to present the resource, the client device generates and renders one or more presentation strings. The client device generates a presentation string by identifying a template module that corresponds to an content resource object in a dataset downloaded by the client device. The client device then performs a template execution operation on the content resource object. The template module corresponding to the content resource object specifies the template execution operation.

The composition achieves at least partial removal of photoresist and/or SARC material in the manufacture of integrated circuitry with minimal etching of metal species on the microelectronic device, such as copper and cobalt, and without damage to low-k dielectric materials employed in the microelectronic device architecture.
摘要:
A method of forming single or dual damascene interconnect structures using either a via-first or trench first approach includes the steps of providing a substrate surface having an etch-stop layer thereon, a low-k dielectric layer on the etch-stop layer, and a dielectric capping layer on the low-k dielectric layer. In the single damascene process using trench pattern, a trench is etched through the capping layer, the low-k dielectric layer and the etch-stop layer to reach the substrate surface. In the via-first process, using a via pattern, the via is etched through the capping layer, the low-k dielectric layer and the etch-stop layer to reach the substrate surface. In the trench first process, using the via pattern the via is etched through the capping layer, the low-k dielectric layer and the etch-stop layer to reach the substrate surface. In the single damascene or either via-first or trench-first dual damascene embodiment, the capping layer is retained over the low-k dielectric layer on top surfaces of the trench into the metal processing, generally including CMP processing, wherein the CMP process removes at least a portion, and in one embodiment the entire, capping layer.
