摘要:
Apparatus for igniting a flame ionization detector wherein means are provided for gradually reducing the flow of oxygen to the jet in response to a sudden increase in the temperature at a point downstream from the jet and wherein normal oxygen flow is restored after the temperature decreases to an operating value.

Genetically modified mice and methods for making an using them are provided, wherein the mice comprise a replacement of all or substantially all immunoglobulin heavy chain V gene segments, D gene segments, and J gene segments with at least one light chain V gene segment and at least one light chain J gene segment. Mice that make binding proteins that comprise a light chain variable domain operably linked to a heavy chain constant region are provided. Binding proteins that contain an immunoglobulin light chain variable domain, including a somatically hypermutated light chain variable domain, fused with a heavy chain constant region, are provided. Modified cells, embryos, and mice that encode sequences for making the binding proteins are provided.
摘要:
Genetically modified mice are provided that express human λ variable (hVλ) sequences, including mice that express hVλ sequences from an endogenous mouse λ light chain locus, mice that express hVλ sequences from an endogenous mouse κ light chain locus, and mice that express hVλ sequences from a transgene or an episome wherein the hVλ sequence is linked to a mouse constant sequence. Mice are provided that are a source of somatically mutated human λ variable sequences useful for making antigen-binding proteins. Compositions and methods for making antigen-binding proteins that comprise human λ variable sequences, including human antibodies, are provided.
摘要:
Genetically modified non-human animals and methods and compositions for making and using them are provided, wherein the genetic modification comprises a deletion of the endogenous low affinity FcγR locus, and wherein the mouse is capable of expressing a functional FcRγ-chain. Genetically modified mice are described, including mice that express low affinity human FcγR genes from the endogenous FcγR locus, and wherein the mice comprise a functional FcRγ-chain. Genetically modified mice that express up to five low affinity human FcγR genes on accessory cells of the host immune system are provided.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for using genetically modified non-human animals are provided, wherein the genetic modification comprises a humanization of the one or more extracellular pore loops of a NaV1.7 channel protein or a complete humanization of an endogenous NaV1.7 gene. Methods for using isolated DRG cultures from genetically modified non-human animals are also provided, wherein the isolated DRG express a human or chimeric NaV1.7 protein on the surface, in particular measuring primary nociceptive activation through the release of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in isolated DRG in vitro, and wherein the isolated DRG cultures are capable of generating action potentials and communicating through an excitable signal via the expressed human or chimeric NaV1.7 protein the cell surface. In vivo and in vitro methods for characterizing NaV1.7-specific antagonists and evaluation of corresponding therapeutic potential for NaV1.7-mediated disease are also provided.

摘要:
A mouse with a humanization of the mIL-3 gene and the mGM-CSF gene, a knockout of a mRAG gene, and a knockout of a mIl2rg subunit gene; and optionally a humanization of the TPO gene is described. A RAG/Il2rg KO/hTPO knock-in mouse is described. A mouse engrafted with human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) that maintains a human immune cell (HIC) population derived from the HSCs and that is infectable by a human pathogen, e.g., S. typhi or M. tuberculosis is described. A mouse that models a human pathogen infection that is poorly modeled in mice is described, e.g., a mouse that models a human mycobacterial infection, wherein the mouse develops one or more granulomas comprising human immune cells. A mouse that comprises a human hematopoietic malignancy that originates from an early human hematopoietic cells is described, e.g., a myeloid leukemia or a myeloproliferative neoplasia.
摘要:
Yeast cells are engineered to express both a surrogate of a pheromone system protein (e.g., enzymes involved in maturation of α-factor, transporters of a-factor, pheromone receptors, etc.) and a potential peptide modulator of the surrogate, in such a manner that the inhibition or activation of the surrogate affects a screenable or selectable trait of the yeast cells. Various additional features improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the screening/selection system.
