    摘要: The disclosure provides assay systems for evaluating the presence of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) activity in a cell by evaluating the gene expression of secreted Frizzled Related Protein 2 and 3 (sFRP2 and sFRP3). The sFRP2 and sFRP3 gene expression may be detected at the RNA or protein levels. The methods include methods for evaluating exogenous and endogenous BMP expression and utilize both genomic sFRP2 and sFRP3 genes and reporter constructs.

    摘要: The invention provides truncated biologically active ADAMTS polypeptides, particularly those with hyalectenase activity, and more particularly those with aggrecanase activity, that exhibit greater stability and homogeneity and higher expression yields than their full-length counterparts. The invention also provides nucleic acid molecules encoding such truncated biologically active ADAMTS polypeptides and methods for producing the truncated biologically active ADAMTS polypeptides. In addition, the invention provides methods for identifying compounds capable of modulating biologically active ADAMTS polypeptides, particularly those compounds that inhibit aggrecanase activity.

    摘要: A flush valve for use in a flush tank for control by the operator of the amount used in flushing, the valve including an elongate body having a solid generally hemispherical protuberance extending outwardly on one side and a hollow frusto-conical cup member extending outwardly from the other side. A tab and opening therethrough on the forward portion of the body for connection to the valve operating system allows the valve to be alternatively turned with the cup member facing upward and being non-buoyant or having the cup member facing downwardly whereby air trapped therein renders the valve buoyant for substantially a full flush. Spaced arm members extend laterally from the rearward portion of the valve body and have one or more openings pivotally mounting the valve to the normal overflow tube to position the valve with respect to the water outlet in either selected position.

    摘要: A dual flush valve assembly for a toilet tank including an overflow pipe, a pair of spaced inlets communicating with the pipe, a pair of flap valves selectively closing the inlets, a pair of spaced handles connected to respective valve operating rods controlling the flap valves, a fitting disposed in an opening in a front of a tank mounting the handles thereto in substantially the same vertical plane one above the other, and two spaced pairs of shoulders extending outwardly from the fitting with the handles being movable between a respective spaced pair of shoulders to limit the movement thereof. The flap valves have a wedge shaped body and are reversible for increased life thereof. The pipe and pair of inlets are removably mounted to a drain extending within the tank from the toilet basin without removal of the drain pipe. The overflow pipe may be aligned with the drain pipe with the inlets being offset therefrom, or one drain pipe and full flush inlet may be offset with the partial flush inlet being aligned with the drain pipe.
