摘要:
A bacterial host is described which is transformed by a plasmid coding for a polypeptide precursor wherein the host comprises a multi-enzyme complex capable of reacting with the expressed polypeptide precursor to produce a polypeptide comprising at least one dehydroamino acid and/or at least one lanthione bridge. A process for producing a polypeptide comprising at least one dehydroamino acid and/or at least one lanthione bridge, such as gallidermin, is also described. A plasmid capable of transforming a bacterial host is additionally described. Also disclosed are recombinant DNA molecules which specify Epi B, Epi C, Epi D, Epi P and Epi Q, enzymes which are involved in the biosynthesis of lantibiotic epidermin.

摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for the determination of allele-specific peptide motifs on molecules of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) of classes I and II as well as the peptide motifs which are obtainable by the method according to the invention. In addition the use of the peptide motifs according to the invention for the production of a diagnostic or therapeutic agent is disclosed.
摘要:
According to certain embodiments, the invention relates to a method of producing antibodies employing an immunoconjugate produced by conjugating at least one membrane-anchoring compound with at least one partial sequence of a viral, bacterial, or protoral protein. The immunoconjugate has the advantage that it can be stored for a very long time even without cooling. According to certain embodiments, the invention relates to an immunoconjugate for the specific induction of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes which comprises a conjugate from at least one membrane anchor compound and a protein, containing at least one killer T-cell epitope, of a virus, a bacterium, a parasite or a tumor antigen, or at least one partial sequence containing at least one killer T-cell epitope of a viral, bacterial or parasite protein or of a tumor antigen.
摘要:
