摘要:
The present invention provides a method of testing the ability of a test compound to bind to and optionally modulate the activity of a protein of the JMJD2 subfamily of Jumonji proteins. The method comprises incubating a test compound with a protein of the JMJD2 subfamily of Jumonji proteins, a co-factor of said protein and, optionally, a substrate for demethylation. The method of the invention can be used for screening large numbers of compounds to identify a group of compounds that are candidate compounds for clinical use for treatment of certain cancers especially prostate cancers. Other compounds that do not have activity in the screening assays can be eliminated from further consideration as candidate compounds. The method of the invention therefore has utility in the pharmaceutical industry.

The present invention relates to nucleic acid molecules related to the var2csa gene family as well as amino acid sequences encoded by such nucleic acid molecules with respect to their role in mediating adhesion of infected red blood cells to chondroitin sulphate A (CSA) in the placenta which is characteristic for the pathogenesis of pregnancy associated malaria (PAM). Accordingly, The invention provides the use compounds that are related to VAR2CSA polypeptides var2csa nucleic acid molecules as medicaments, as well as it provides pharmaceutical compositions, in particular immunological compositions and vaccines, hereunder nucleotide-based vaccines comprising these compounds. In addition, the invention provides the use of the compounds mentioned for the manufacture of compositions, such as immunogenic compositions. Other aspects of the invention relates to methods of treatment and prevention of pregnancy associated malaria wherein these methods are based on the nucleic acid molecules and polypeptides the invention. As these compounds can also be used as biotechnological tools the invention provides in vitro diagnostic methods and kits comprising reagents and IgGs/antibodies designated to the use in such methods. The invention also relates to methods of identifying agents capable of modulating the VAR2CSA dependent adhesion to CSA and agent capable of interacting with VAR2CSA. Finally, a method for identifying polypeptides, which will induce a specific IgG/antibody response upon administration to a subject is provided by the invention.

The present invention relates to a new class of substituted aza-triangulenium fluorescent dyes having a hydroxy group attached to an aryl as quenching group. The new substituted aza-triangulenium fluorescent dyes may be attached to a linker, conjugated to carrier molecule such as e.g. a protein, a nucleic acid, a lipid, or a saccharide, or deposited or immobilized on solid support materials. The substituted aza-triangulenium fluorescent dyes are useful for various purposes, including use in sensors for monitoring or determining the concentration of analytes, such as H+(pH), Na+, K+, Ca2+, O2, CO2, H2O2, ionic strength, redox potentials, metal ions, and metabolites.

The present invention relates to a method for the production of a sol-gel based matrix. The method comprises the steps of: a) providing a first alkoxysilane of the general formula: R1—Si(OR2)3 and a second alkoxysilane of the general formula (I): b) preparing a first sol-gel component by polymerization of the first alkoxysilane in the presence of an acid catalyst, c) preparing a second sol-gel component by polymerization of the second alkoxysilane in the presence of an Lewis acid catalyst, d) Mixing the first sol-gel component and the second sol-gel component for the preparation of a sol-gel based matrix. The above method results in a sol-gel based matrix with high stability and high porosity. The sol-gel based material may be used for the production of a composite or sensor suitable for monitoring analytes. Methods for preparing these composites or sensors are provided as well.

摘要:
The present inventors developed hepatitis C virus recombinants expressing NS5A from genotype 1a, 1b, 2a, 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a or 7a in the context of a genotype 2a backbone. Additional recombinants express NS5A and the structural proteins (Core, E1 and E2), p7 and NS2 from genotype 1a, 1b, 3a, 4a, 5a, 6a or 7a in the genotype 2a backbone. Sequence analysis of the recombinants recovered after viral passage in Huh7.5 cells revealed adaptive mutations in NS5A and/or NS3. The importance of these mutations for improved growth kinetics was shown in reverse genetic studies.
摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds of Formula (I), combinations and use thereof for disease therapy, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt or solvate thereof, including all tautomers, stereoismers and polymorphs thereof, which are iGluR receptor inhibitors, and hence are useful in the treatment of psychiatric diseases or neurological disorders or a disease or disorder associated with abnormal activities of iGluR receptors.
