    摘要: A method for treating and/or preventing a proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 preproprotein (PCSK9)-susceptible viral infection comprising increasing a PCSK9 activity and/or expression in a biological system infected by the virus, whereby the increased PCSK9 activity and/or expression treats and/or prevents the viral infection in the biological system. Methods of classifying subjects, methods of screening and kits therefore.

    摘要: The present invention relates to pro-hormone convertases and polypeptidic fragments thereof, nucleic acids encoding them, recombinant viruses expressing these convertases, polyclonal antibodies directed against the convertases, diagnostic kits for the detection and measurement of the convertase content in cell or tissue lysates, culture media or biological fluids by RIA. Diagnostic kits were also developped for detection or measurement of nucleic acids, preferably mRNAs, in cell or tissue lysates by hybridization. The invention also concerns oligonucleotides useful as probes or as primers for DNA synthesis. These oligonucleotides were included in the diagnostic kits as well as used for the obtention of specific fragments of the convertases which have served, together with native convertases, as antigens for the obtention of antibodies. The convertases were produced by mammalian cell lines transfected with the recombinant viruses and purified on affinity columns which are also an object of the invention. Processes for producing the native convertases, fragments thereof and antibodies are also described and claimed.

    摘要: This invention relates to a novel and seventh member of the subtilisin-kexin family isolated from rat, which has been named rPC7. The rat spleen cDNA has been totally sequenced. A shorter DNA sequence has been obtained for human, which corresponds to a portion of the catalytic region of a human pro-hormone convertase corresponding to the rat pro-hormone convertase. PC7 clearly distinguishes from the other mammalian members of the subtilisin-kexin family. Its tissue distribution is ubiquitous, but its presence is particularly remarkable in lymphoid tissues. It is present in LoVo cells that are able to cleave the HIV gp160 protein into active gp120/gp41 proteins and that are deficient in other effective pro-hormone convertases known up to date. Therefore, it is proposed that PC7 is a good candidate as a maturation enzyme responsible for the conversion of HIV gp160 protein in target CD.sup.+4 cells.
