摘要:
A method of separating a protein by gel electrophoresis, which comprises a staining step for bringing a protein-containing sample into contact with a staining liquid containing a staining agent, a surfactant and a buffer solution, and an electrophoresis step for subjecting the protein-containing sample after the staining step to gel electrophoresis.According to the present invention, using a staining liquid containing a surfactant such as SDS and the like, a protein-containing sample can be stained in a short time, and can develop color with high sensitivity. In addition, since an excess staining agent migrates earlier than protein by electrophoresis, a washing operation is not necessary. Furthermore, by staining, after the first dimension electrophoresis, with a staining liquid containing a surfactant such as SDS and the like, the second dimension electrophoresis can be performed immediately. As a result, the number of steps can be reduced as compared to conventional protein separation methods, and the separation operation can be simplified. Hence, a method capable of staining and separating a protein conveniently and quickly by electrophoresis can be provided.
摘要:
This invention relates to a hematopoietic stem cell proliferating agent comprising IGF-I, a hematopoietic stem cell proliferating agent comprising IGF-I and at least one protein selected from among SCF, M-CSF, and G-CSF, and a method of growing hematopoietic stem cells which comprises culturing hematopoietic stem cells in a medium containing IGF-I and at least one protein selected from the group consisting of SCF and M-CSF.The hematopoietic stem cell proliferating agent of the invention causes hematopoietic stem cells to proliferate in the undifferentiated state whether in vivo or in vitro and can, therefore, be used for amelioration of the cytopenia induced by radiotherapy or chemotherapy using anticancer drugs, prevention of infectious diseases associated with lymphopenia, or in vitro culture for multiplication of hematopoietic stem cells and extrasomatic culture of recombinant stem cells in gene therapy.
摘要:

Thus, a process for producing L-ascorbic acid from the 2KLGA obtained by the above process is also provided.
摘要:
A DNA derived from plasmid pF4, which contains a region involved in the control of autonomous replication in a bacterial cell belonging to the genus Gluconobactor, with or without a part of the polynucleotide region not essential for the autonomous replication therein, particularly, the same DNA comprising, as the region involved in the control of autonomous replication in the bacterial cell belonging to the genus Gluconobactor, a part or the entirety of the polynucleotide of nucleotide No. 2897-3969 region of Sequence Listing SEQ:ID No. 1. A plasmid vector containing this DNA, transformant transformed with this plasmid vector, and a method for producing a physiologically active substance comprising culturing this transformant. The full length nucleotide sequence of plasmid pF4 and the region containing DNA involved in the control of automonous replication in the bacterial cell belonging to the genus Gluconobactor were specified, whereby the region not essential for the automonous replication could be removed to provide a shortened pF4. The shortening of the region in the vector for autonomous replication increases the remaining region of the vector and allows incorporation of many structural genes into the vector. Consequently, the vector can have many functions.
