The present invention provides a method of artificially repressing gene expression, which is simpler to design than conventional methods (the RNAi, ribozyme and antisense methods) and which allows for easier confirmation of the effect.A method of inhibiting the translation reaction of a target gene, comprising cutting out a part of the poly(A) tail and/or 3′-terminal sequence of the target mRNA is provided. Also provided are a kit for inhibiting the translation reaction of a target gene, comprising a reagent capable of cutting out a part of the poly(A) tail and/or 3′-terminal sequence of the target mRNA; a cell in which the translation reaction of a target gene is inhibited by introduction thereinto of a reagent capable of cutting out a part of the poly(A) tail and/or 3′-terminal sequence of the target mRNA; and a non-human organism in which the translation reaction of a target gene is inhibited by introduction thereinto of a reagent capable of cutting out a part of the poly(A) tail and/or 3′-terminal sequence of the target mRNA.

There is provided a novel method of forming uniform viral particles under physiological conditions. The method of forming uniform-sized viral particle aggregates composed of viral protein is characterized by incubating a viral protein such as SV40 virus VP1 at pH 5.0 to 7.0, room temperature, in the presence of 130 mM to 170 mM sodium chloride and 1.5 mM to 2.5 mM divalent cation, and in the presence of a particle formation acceleration factor such as SV40 VP2. For encapsulation of a substance to be encapsulated in the viral particles, the substance to be encapsulated is included during the incubation.
摘要:
Polymer coated ferromagnetic particles could be obtained giving a solution to a problem of difficulty in dispersing ferromagnetic fine particles to a level of monodispersion because of their properties apt to form aggregates. Providing hydrophilic character to hydrophobic ferromagnetic particles obtained by adsorbing hydrophobizing agent to hydrophilic ferromagnetic particles, and dispersed using nonionic surface activating agent suppressing ionic strength increase of the particles. Monomer liquid was emulsified using nonionic surface activating agent and ionic surface activating agent. Mixing the dispersion liquid of ferromagnetic particles and the monomer emulsion were mixed and emulsion polymerization was conducted. Then well-dispersed homogeneous and stable polymer coated ferromagnetic particles showing good response to magnetic field were obtained.

A ferrite bonded organic substance having that has a strong bond between organic substance and ferrite can be obtained by carrying out formation and bonding of a ferrite to an organic substance having a functional group selected from a carboxyl group, a mercapto group and a mercapto group in oxidized form. In the producing method of manufacturing the ferrite bonded organic substance, ferrite plating can be employed. Wide application in, for example, various drugs, bio-analytical reagents, DNA, various contrast media and MRI sensitizers that permit magnetic manipulation can be realized by bonding ferrite to organic substance retaining a bio-active substance.
