摘要:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising an immortalized cell line which is deficient in the expression of one or more gene(s) of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway, selected from the group consisting of Bax, Bak, and mixtures thereof. The present invention further relates to the product of a process for producing an immortalized mouse fibroblast cell line which is deficient in the expression of Bax, Bak, and mixtures thereof. Finally, the present invention relates to a method and a kit for identifying a compound or composition which induces or blocks the extrinsic apoptotic pathway.
摘要:
Methods for inducing a population of T cells to proliferate by activating the population of T cells and stimulating an accessory molecule on the surface of the T cells with a ligand which binds the accessory molecule are described. T cell proliferation occurs in the absence of exogenous growth factors or accessory cells. T cell activation is accomplished by stimulating the T cell receptor (TCR)/CD3 complex or the CD2 surface protein. To induce proliferation of an activated population T cells, an accessory molecule on the surface of the T cells, such as CD28, is stimulated with a ligand which binds the accessory molecule. The T cell population expanded by the method of the invention can be genetically transduced and used for immunotherapy or can be used in methods of diagnosis.

The present invention provides methods for producing antibodies against a variety of antigens, including mammalian antigens with highly conserved epitopes. In addition, the present invention provides improved methods and compositions for the cloning and manipulation of immunoglobulin genes as well as antibodies derived therefrom.
摘要:
The invention relates generally to compositions of and methods for obtaining and using a polypeptide other than BCL-2 that affects programmed vertebrate cell death. The invention relates as well to polynucleotides encoding those polypeptides, recombinant vectors carrying those sequences, the recombinant host cells including either the sequences or vectors, and recombinant polypeptides. The invention further provides methods for using the isolated, recombinant polypeptides in assays designed to select and improve substances capable of altering programmed cell death for use in diagnostic, drug design and therapeutic applications.
摘要:
Taco shell manufacturing equipment that comprises in combination with suitable means to form and bake disk tortillas, certain means to equilibrate moisture throughout such baked tortillas in a relatively short tempering time of the general order of a few minutes as they are passed in successive longitudinally-spaced groups of substantially transversely aligned disks continuously through an elongated lateral steam chamber upon traveling lateral open web belting means as received from baking means and while being subjected in this chamber to relatively low pressure steam until discharged by this belting means through an exit end opening of the steam chamber as tempered tortillas. Driven lateral transfer means receive the tempered tortillas in the longitudinally-spaced transverse groups from the exit end of the steam chamber and transports them laterally forward to the entrance end of tortillas folding and frying apparatus. The equipment includes means for transporting the tortillas in lap-folded form through a hot fat bath in the frying apparatus, and means to deliver the fried tortillas as lap-folded taco shells from the frying apparatus to suitable packing means for ultimate marketing.
