摘要:
The present invention concerns a construct for epigenomic modification of genes that includes the following components:a) a Krüppel-associated box zinc finger protein or homologous, b) a DNA region capable of binding to the target gene or homologous, c) a human DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A or homologous and d) a murine DNA methyltransferase Dnmt3L or homologous whereby components a), b), c) and d) are linked to each other either directly or via at least one linker. The construct is a designer epigenome modifier which can be used to silence genes coding for a protein in leukocytes which avoids the internalization of HI viruses in immune cells.

The invention relates to a method for identifying aptamers, having the following steps —bringing a mixture of oligonucleotides into contact with an aptamer target structure and binding at least some of the oligonucleotides to the target structure, —separating the oligonucleotides which have been bound to the aptamer target structure from the aptamer target structure and from oligonucleotides that are not bound to the aptamer target structure, —amplifying individual oligonucleotides which were bound to the aptamer target structure in a physically separate manner and producing a plurality of physically separate amplicons, each amplicon predominantly containing one type of oligonucleotides, —specifying a specific marker for a plurality of the physically separate amplicons such that each of the marked amplicons can be uniquely identified using the specified marker of the amplicon, —sequencing oligonucleotides in a plurality of marked amplicons and assigning the marker that is specific for the amplicon to the sequence of the type of oligonucleotides in the amplicon for each amplicon examined by means of the sequencing process —analyzing the binding properties of the types of oligonucleotides to the aptamer target structure and assigning the analyzed binding properties to the specific markers of the amplicons and to the sequences of the types of oligonucleotides.

The invention relates to a method for producing a microarray, wherein the production of this array is detected in real time from the accumulation of the product molecules being produced. The invention further relates to a microarray produced by this method, and to a device for the real-time detection of molecular accumulations on an array surface during the production of microarrays.

The invention relates to a device and a method for the generation of molecular microarrays. The invention relates therefore to a universal approach for the generation of protein microarrays, DNA microarrays and RNA microarrays (in general nucleic acid microarrays), by production of an output molecule from a template molecule microarray via enzymatic or chemical processes and transfer of the output molecule onto the desired molecular microarray.

The present invention relates to substrates comprising covalently attached antimicrobial polymers, which act as synthetic mimics of antimicrobial peptides (SMAMPs) and are preferably obtained by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP). The inventive antimicrobial polymers exhibit a molecular weight of more than 100,000 g mol−1 and are preferably covalently attached to the surface of a substrate, e.g. an implant, a medical device, medical equipment or a (tissue-supporting) biomaterial, etc. Covalent bonding may be carried out using a photoreactive crosslinker but also by “grafting onto” or “grafting from”. The present invention is also directed to uses of the inventive antimicrobial polymers as defined herein, e.g. for antimicrobially coating a surface of such a substrate with a layer of the inventive antimicrobial polymer.

A Hall effect sensor with multiple Hall effect elements, each of the Hall effect elements having a first contact terminal, a second contact terminal, and a third contact terminal arranged along a straight line. The multiple Hall effect elements are electrically connected in series in a closed circuit. The second contact terminals of the Hall effect elements are supply voltage connections or Hall voltage pickoffs, and the applicable second contact terminal of the Hall effect element is a center contact of the Hall effect element. The Hall effect elements form two pairs, and the Hall effect elements of one pair each measure the same component of a magnetic field and an operating current is impressed on the series circuit in the two Hall effect elements of this one pair, and a supply voltage is applied to the Hall effect elements of the other pair.

摘要:
A detector and a method for the detection of ionising radiation are proposed. The detector (1) exhibits a detector body (2) made from a semiconductor material in which incident ionising radiation generates free electron-hole pairs, a cathode side (4) of the detector body (2) to which the free holes generated drift in an electric field, an anode side (3) of the detector body (2) to which the free electrons generated drift in an electric field, at least two electrodes (5, 6) on the anode side (3) and at least two electrodes (7, 8) on the cathode side (4). There is a potential difference between the electrodes (5, 6, 7, 8). The potential difference between the individual electrodes (7, 8) on the cathode side (4) is smaller than the potential difference between each of the electrodes (5, 6) on the anode side (3) on the one hand and each of the electrodes (7, 8) on the cathode side (4) on the other hand. As a result of irradiation of the detector body (2) with ionising radiation, electron-hole pairs are generated in the detector body (2). Signals are detected at the electrodes (7, 8) on the cathode side. The difference is calculated and evaluated from these signals.
