摘要:
The present invention provides a method, an assay and a kit for providing an indication of abnormal cell function. It was surprisingly found that the change in the serum ADAM12 concentration in individuals was useful as a prognostic tool to predict the clinical outcome, complications and mortality following an abnormal cell function.The present inventors describes ADAM12 as a overall general marker for abnormal cell function, and the present inventor for the first time demonstrate that ADAM12 is an important indicator of fetal chromosomal disease and placenta function. Specifically ADAM12 is a good marker for e.g. Downs's syndrome, trisomy 18, preeclampsia, Turner syndrome in both first and second trimester.The present inventors developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and a time-resolved immunofluorometric assay for the quantification of ADAM12 in serum.The present application demonstrates in several examples the variation of the ADAM12 level in fetal abnormality and/or adverse pregnancy outcomes correlated gestational age when compared to normal controls. It is an object of the invention to provide an improvement of the existing marker tests that exhibits a decreased false positive rate.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the production of novel, recombinant polynucleotides comprising the GIR1 ribozyme, or a variant thereof, vectors comprising such polynucleotides and recombinant host cells comprising such polynucleotides and/or such vectors. The invention furthermore relates to the use of said polynucleotides in the treatment of an individual suffering from a disease associated with or caused by instability of a transcript of said second subsequence such as cancer, cachexia, α-Thallasemia or leukaemia.
摘要:
Disclosed are processes for liquefaction and saccharification of polysacharide containing biomasses having high dry matter content (>20%) and preferably possessing large average particle size. The polysaccharide containing biomasses are subject to enzymatic hydrolysis in a mixer that utilizes “free fall” mixing. “Free fall” mixing provides mechanical degradation of the biomass during hydrolysis and, in the case of lignocellulosic biomass, promotes movement of cellulase enzymes along cellulose chains, which improves enzymatic hydrolysis at high dry matter.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for liquefaction and saccharification of polysaccharide containing biomasses, having a relatively high dry matter content. The present invention combines enzymatic hydrolysis with a type of mixing relying on the principle of gravity ensuring that the biomasses are subjected to mechanical forces, primarily shear and tear forces. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the further utilisation of such processed biomasses, e.g. for subsequent fermentation into bio-ethanol, bio-gas, specialty carbohydrates for food and fees as well as carbon feedstock for processing into plastics and chemicals.

摘要:
The present invention relates to the use of peptides that are capable of binding to, and modulating the activity of NCAM. The peptides are peptide fragments of FGFRs. They are derived from two distinct binding sites for binding of the immunoglobulin-like module 2 of FGFR to NCAM F3 modules 1-2. The invention further relates to use of said peptides for the production of a medicament for the treatment of different pathological conditions, wherein NCAM and/or FGFRs play a prominent role.
