摘要:
The present invention provides materials and methods for DNA amplification, in particular linear amplification methods using RNA polymerase. These methods permit high-throughput sequencing of pictogram amounts of DNA and are of use in a range of applications including genome-wide profiling of transcription factors and epigenetic DNA and histone modifications, global transcript profiling, mapping of chromatin conformations, as well as for forensic use and archaeological studies.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a nuclear receptor (NR) transcriptional mediator. More specifically, isolated nucleic acid molecules are provided encoding transcriptional intermediary factor-2 (TIF2). Recombinant methods for making TIF2 polypeptides are also provided as are TIF2 antibodies. Screening methods are also provided for identifying agonists and antagonists of the activation function AF-2 of nuclear receptors, for identifying agonists and antagonists of the AD1 activation domain activity of TIF2, and for identifying agonists and antagonists of the AD2 activation domain activity of TIF2.
摘要:
The invention relates to compositions comprising a retinoid X receptor agonist and an agent capable of activating protein kinase A. The invention also relates to methods of treating hyperproliferative diseases by administering a retinoid X receptor agonist and an agent capable of activating protein kinase A.
摘要:
Derivatives of psammaplin A responding to formula (I), a method for their synthesis and their use for the preparation of a medicament for preventing and for treating a tumor or a cancer. Formula (I).

摘要:
A DNA fragment coding for a modified nuclear glucocorticoid receptor, particularly one mutated in the region coding for the ligand binding domain, so that receptor activity is more strongly inducible by a synthetic glucocorticoid ligand than by a natural glucocorticoid ligand, is disclosed. A recombination system inducible in mammals by means of a fusion protein produced between a recombinase and the binding domain of the ligand derived from the modified glucocorticoid receptor of which the activity is more strongly inducible by synthetic glucocorticoids than by natural glucocorticoids, is also disclosed.

摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for treating an animal, preferably a human, suffering from or predisposed to a physical disorder by administering an effective amount of a composition comprising at least one RAR antagonist, preferably an RAR&agr; antagonist, and at least one RXR agonist. The combination of an RXR agonist, which has no therapeutic effects alone, with an RAR antagonist allows the use of lower doses of the RAR antagonist than were previously thought to be efficacious; this approach obviates many of the undesirable physiological side-effects of treatment with RAR antagonists.
