摘要:
The present invention provides a method for the diagnosis of tauopathies in an individual and/or for the differential diagnosis of a tauopathy versus a non-tauopathy based on the detection of the ratio of phospho-tau (181)/total tau in said individual. The present invention further provides a phospho-peptide for standardization in a method of the invention.

The present invention relates to a polypeptide of about 8 to about 100 amino acids comprising or consisting of at least 8 contiguous amino acids selected from the core, and/or the E1, and/or E2, and/or the NS3 regions of the HCV polyprotein, with said contiguous amino acids containing a T-ell stimulating epitope.
摘要:
The invention relates to recombinant polypeptides and peptides and particularly to the polypeptide containing in its polypeptidic chain the following amino acid sequence: the one extending from the extremity constituted by nucleotide at position (1) to the extremity constituted by nucleotide at position (194) represented in FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b. The polypeptides and peptides of the invention can be used for the diagnostic of tuberculosis, and can also be part of the active principle in the preparation of vaccine against tuberculosis.
摘要:
The present invention is based on the finding that the envelope proteins of HCV induce a beneficial immune response in chronically HCV-infected chimpanzees. The immunization can preferentially be carried out using HCV envelope proteins in the form of particles which are produced in a detergent-assisted manner. The envelope proteins when presented as such to chronic HCV carriers are highly immunogenic and stimulate both the cellular and humoral immune response.
摘要:
A method for detection and/or identification of HPV present in a biological sample comprising amplification of HPV polynucleic acids and of hybridization of said amplified polynucleic acids to a number of probes whereby a short fragment of the L1 gene of HPV is amplified after which, the amplimers are contacted with probes that specifically hybridize to the said short fragment of the L1 gene of at least one HPV type and a diagnostic kit to perform said method and primers and probes used in the said method.

摘要:
Peptide sequences are provided which are capable of mimicking proteins encoded by HCV for use as reagents for screening of blood and blood products for prior exposure to HCV. The peptides are at least 5 amino acids long and can be used in various specific assays for the detection of antibodies to HCV, for the detection of HCV antigens, or as immunogens.
摘要:
Described is a new variety of retrovirus designated HIV-3, also known as HIV-1 subtype O, samples of which are deposited in the European Collection of Animal Cell Cultures (ECACC) under V88060301. Further described is a process to detect the HIV-3 retrovirus in biological liquids or tissue. One such process involves contacting a biological sample suspected of containing HIV-3 nucleic acids with a DNA probe corresponding to a segment of genomic HIV-3 retrovirus RNA, such as the LTR region, and detecting the hybridization products thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a polynucleic acid composition comprising or consisting of at least one polynucleic acid containing 8 or more contiguous nucleotides corresponding to a nucleotide sequence from the region spanning positions 417 to 957 of the Core/E1 region of HCV type 3; and/or the region spanning positions 4664 to 4730 of the NS3 region of HCV type 3; and/or the region spanning positions 4892 to 5292 of the NS3/4 region of HCV type 3; and/or the region spanning positions 8 023 to 8 235 of the NS5 region of the BR36 subgroup of HCV type 3a; and/or the coding region of HCV type 4a starting at nucleotide 379 in the core region; and/or the coding region of HCV type 4; and/or the coding region of HCV type 5, with said nucleotide numbering being with respect to the numbering of HCV nucleic acids as shown in Table 1, and with said polynucleic acids containing at least one nucleotide difference with known HCV type 1, and/or HCV type 2 genomes in the above-indicated region, or the complement thereof.
