摘要:
A method of producing lymphocytes characterized by comprising the step of culturing lymphocytes in the presence of a modified recombinant fibronectin fragment which has overlapping parts of the heparin-binding domain of fibronectin. This method makes it possible to achieve a high cell proliferation rate. The lymphocytes obtained thereby are appropriately usable in, for example, adoptive immunotherapy and, therefore, expected as highly useful in the clinical field. Moreover, a novel modified recombinant fibronectin fragment is provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a therapeutic agent or prophylactic agent for a disease accompanying an abnormality in an amount of insulin or insulin response, an insulin-mimetic action agent, a food, beverage, or feed, an agent for enhancement of glucose uptake into a cell, and an agent for inducing differentiation into an adipocyte, each comprising as an effective ingredient at least one compound selected from the group consisting of specified compounds having an insulin-mimetic action, derivatives thereof, and pharmacologically acceptable salts thereof.
摘要:
Compounds represented by general formula (I) wherein X represents OH or OSO3H; and R represents a substituent other than OH which allows, after leaving, the induction of unsaturated bonds into the 3- and 4-positions of 3,6-anhydrogalactose or its sulfated derivative, and/or a substituent showing a tissue-specific affinity.

摘要:
A universal method of searching for a nucleic acid capable of effectively inhibiting gene expression; a nucleic acid construct to be used in this method; a vector; and a kit for the above method. This method is characterized in that a nucleic acid construct, which is a nucleic acid construct having a promoter sequence, at least two gene sequences and a poly A signal sequence and in which the above-described at least two gene sequences are transcribed as a single molecule RNA and at least one gene sequence is in the translatable state while at least one gene sequence is encoded in the substantially untranslatable state, is constructed.
摘要:
Accurate and highly reproducible means of detecting a base substitution mutation (for example, SNP), an insertion mutation or a deletion mutation with the use of a nucleic acid sample in a trace amount and a method of typing gene polymorphisms using the means.
摘要:
A convenient and effective method for amplifying a nucleic acid sequence characterized by effecting a DNA synthesis reaction in the presence of chimeric oligonucleotide primers; a method for supplying a large amount of DNA amplification fragments; an effective method for amplifying a nucleic acid sequence by combining the above method with another nucleic acid sequence amplification method; a method for detecting a nucleic acid sequence for detecting or quantitating a microorganism such as a virus, a bacterium, a fungus or a yeast; and a method for detecting a DNA amplification fragment obtained by the above method in situ.
