摘要:
The invention relates to kits and methods for assessing the desirability of supplementing the diet of a human with reduced coenzyme Q (CoQH2). The methods involve assessing occurrence in the human's genome of the NQO1*2 polymorphism of the NQO1 gene. Occurrence of a copy of the polymorphism indicates that the human can benefit from dietary supplementation with CoQH2, and occurrence of two copies (i.e., homozygosity) of the NQO1*2 polymorphism indicates that dietary supplementation with CoQH2 can be especially desirable.
摘要:
The invention relates to kits and methods for assessing the susceptibility of a human to oxidative stress or damage. The methods involve assessing occurrence in the human's genome of one or more polymorphisms (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms) that occur in one or more genes associated with oxidative stress and that are associated with a disorder in humans. Preferred assessment and scoring methods are disclosed, as are kit for performing the methods.

This invention provides methods of inhibiting replication of a poxvirus by contacting a poxvirus with a compound having formula XVII which in turn reduce, inhibit, or abrogate poxvirus DNA polymerase activity and/or its interaction with its processivity factor. Formula XVII can be utilized to treat humans and animals suffering from a poxvirus infection. Pharmaceutical compositions for treating poxvirus infected subjects are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for assessing the advisability that a human should employ a compensatory composition comprised of one or more antioxidant ingredients. The methods involve assessing occurrence in the human's genome of a plurality of certain polymorphisms. Methods for determining the composition of preferred compensatory compositions are also disclosed.

The invention relates to kits and methods for assessing susceptibility of a human to abnormal lipid metabolism and disorders associated therewith, such as obesity and diabetes. The methods involve assessing occurrence in the human's genome of one or more polymorphisms (e.g., single nucleotide polymorphisms) that occur in one or more genes associated with leptin-mediated lipid metabolism and that are associated with a disorder in humans. Preferred assessment and scoring methods are disclosed, as are kits for performing the methods.
摘要:
pML BK is a hybrid plasmid which is constructed of :pML which contains the entire nucleotide sequence of the plasmid pBR322 except for deletion of nucleotide sequences 1120-2490 bp and 0 to 375 bp, and BK which contains the entire nucleotide sequence of the Gardner strain of BK virus except for deletion of nucleotide sequences between bp 5089-5196. Into the pML BK plasmid may be inserted a viral or human gene X to be expressed, an example of which is TK which represents the Bam HI generated 3,600 bp DNA fragment of herpes simplex virus type 1 which contains the herpes simplex virus type 1 TK DNA. The majority of the pML BK X DNA molecules remain in the episomal or free state in the human cells 143B and express the gene X.
