摘要:
The invention relates to a hyperblebbing strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae which produces large amounts of blebs useful for production of blebosomes containing antigens for use as a vaccine delivery vehicle or as a diagnostic reagent. The invention also relates to a method for producing high levels of a desired protein in purified form using the hyperblebbing strain of N. gonorrhoeae, and to a vaccine delivery systems containing the blebosomes expressing the desired antigen.
摘要:
A first aid systems for an ultra compact first-aid pouch configured to fit behind the ballistic plates of a protective vest are disclosed. In this configuration, the first-aid kit is protected from shrapnel and tearing, is easily locatable and removable and does not effect the user's freedom of movement. When the first-aid pouch is removed from its protected location, it presents the first-aid equipment in a logical and easily viewable manner.
摘要:
Methods for detecting a biological interaction comprising administering a substrate comprising a ligand attached to the substrate wherein the ligand binds to a receptor and wherein a signal is produced. Also disclosed is a biosensor comprising a substrate and a ligand wherein the ligand is attached to the surface of the substrate and wherein the ligand preferentially binds to a receptor.

Provided is a storage compartment allowing quick deployment of emergency equipment stored therein, where the compartment comprises a first door that is opened and the equipment deployed in response to pulling a pull cord connected to the compartment or an electronic signal. Also provided is a bag comprising emergency equipment within a compartment deployable by a user while wearing the bag, where the bag is configured to deploy the piece of equipment in response to pulling a pull cord connected to the bag or an electronic signal. Additionally, a bag configured to house a gas mask and gas mask equipment is provided, where the bag is configured to deploy the gas mask from the bag in response to an action by a user.
摘要:
E. coli bacterial strains encoding a restriction gene that degrades methylated DNA, and prevents cloning of genes expressing the methyltransferase responsible for methylation, are mutated by a chemical or physical mutagen, so as to make the restriction enzyme temperature sensitive. Mutant cells are rendered competent, and plasmids expected or known to contain genes encoding methyltransferase enzymes are introduced. The transformants grow at the permissive temperature, where the restriction enzyme system is inactivated due to the mutated gene. Successful clones, expressing a methyltransferase, can be quickly identified by those which grow at the permissive temperature, but not at the non-permissive temperature. The valuable methyltransferases, as well as restriction enzymes associated therewith, can accordingly be recovered in large quantity.
