摘要:
Expression of a multigene RNA having self-splicing activityAn RNA is expressed which can release two or more active genes by means of inserted ribozyme structures. The expression can be carried out in plants or other organisms.
摘要:
A multifunctional RNA having self-processing activity, the preparation thereof and the use thereof Host cells can be transformed so that they express ribozyme RNA and antisense RNA which are connected with each other via a spacer. The RNA molecules can, for example, be complementary to a certain viral RNA. Plants which have been transformed with genes coding for RNA of this type show a significantly improved resistance to viruses.

摘要:
Polypeptides having a carboxamide carboxyl terminal end and a methionine residue, which is optionally bonded to a bacterial protein, on the amino end can be prepared by synthesis by genetic engineering methods of the corresponding polypeptide having at the C terminal end a glycine residue, and conversion of the latter enzymatically into the amino group of the desired carboxamide group. Peptides which have the aminoacid sequence of growth hormone releasing factor, part sequences thereof, or modifications of these peptides, are readily accessible by this means. The synthesis by genetic engineering methods is advantageously carried out via two gene fragments which are synthesized chemically from smaller, single-stranded structural units. The two gene fragments are then linked enzymatically to give the complete gene, which is incorporated into a suitable vector, amplified there, and the peptide is isolated directly or as a fused protein, and is converted enzymatically into the desired amide.

The invention provides immunostimulatory compositions and methods for their use. In particular, the immunostimulatory compositions of the invention include RNA-like polymers that incorporate an immunostimulatory sequence motif and at least one chemical modification to confer improved stability against nuclease degradation and improved activity. Specific modifications involving phosphate linkages, nucleotide analogs, and combinations thereof are provided. Compositions of the invention optionally include an antigen and can be used to stimulate an immune response. Also provided are compositions and methods useful for treating a subject having an infection, a cancer, an to allergic condition, or asthma. Modified oligoribonucleotide analogs of the invention are believed to stimulate Toll-like receptors TLR7 and TLR8.

The invention relates to oligonucleotides including at least one FANA substituted nucleotide analog and a pyrimidine-purine dinucleotide. The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods of use thereof.
摘要:
The present invention relates to PNA derivatives which carry, at the C terminus, or at both the C and N termini of the PNA backbone, one or more phosphoryl radicals. The phosphoryl radicals carry, where appropriate, one or more labeling groups, groups for crosslinking, groups which promote intracellular uptake, or groups which increase the binding affinity of the PNA derivative for nucleic acids. The invention furthermore relates to a process for preparing the above-mentioned PNA derivatives and to their use as pharmaceuticals or diagnostic agents.
