摘要:
This invention is in the field of lymphadenopathy virus, which has been designated Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1). This invention relates to a diagnostic means and method to detect the presence of DNA, RNA or antibodies of the lymphadenopathy retrovirus associated with the acquired immune deficiency syndrome or of the lymphadenopathy syndrome by the use of DNA fragments or the peptides encoded by said DNA fragments. The invention further relates to the DNA fragments, vectors comprising them and the proteins expressed.
摘要:
A previously isolated hepatitis B virus (HBV) integration in a 147 bp cellular DNA fragment linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was used as a probe to clone the corresponding complementary DNA from a human liver cDNA library. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the overall structure of the cellular gene, which has been named hap, is similar to that of the DNA-binding hormone receptors. Six out of seven hepatoma and hepatoma-derived cell-lines express a 2.5 kb hap mRNA species which is undetectable in normal adult and fetal livers, but present in all non-hepatic tissues analyzed. Low stringency hybridization experiments revealed the existence of hap related genes in the human genome. The cloned DNA sequence is useful in the preparation of pure hap protein and as a probe in the detection and isolation of complementary DNA and RNA sequences. The hap protein is a retinoic acid (RA) receptor identified as RAR-β.

The invention relates to a process for producing DNA corresponding to that of the DNA of the virus of B hepatitis. It comprises cloning in bacteria the latter DNA, previously repaired by means of the corresponding precursor nucleotides in the presence of a polymerase. The invention also relates to vectors containing said cloned DNA in their genomes. The cloned DNA is useful as a probe for detecting the presence of the virus of B hepatitis in biological samples, particularly blood or plasma. Its expression in bacteria provides a hybrid protein containing a protein fragment having vaccinating properties against hepatitis B.

The present invention .relates to a process to isolate genetic material (DNA) containing the nucleotide sequence coding for interferon in human fibroblastic cells which comprises cultivating cells producing interferon when exposed to an inducer of interferon, exposing same to such inducer, extracting messenger RNA from said induced cells, purifying the interferon messenger RNA, transcribing the messenger RNA into DNA and cloning the DNA in a suitable vector. Preferred cells are human diploid foreskin cells. The invention further relates to a process for engineering a bacterial strain to produce interferon polypeptide which comprises introducing a cloned interferon DNA into a suitable vector-carrier. A preferred vector-carrier is E. coli. The invention also relates to the mRNA of human interferon in highly purified form, to the mRNA of human interferon in .beta.1 highly purified form, to the mRNA of human interferon in .sym.2 highly purified form, to the DNA coding for a polypeptide having interferon activity, insertable in a vector, such as plasmid pBR322, and also to human interferon .beta.1 in highly purified form, and human interferon .beta.2 in highly purified form.
