摘要:
The present invention provides novel angiogenesis inhibitors effective, safe and highly practical for inhibition of angiogenesis in various diseases, and a method for screening the same. The active ingredients of the angiogenesis inhibitors of the present invention comprise ansamycin antibiotics such as rifampicin, rifamycin SV and 3-formyl rifamycin, which have long been used extensively as antibacterial agents for treating tuberculosis or Gram-positive bacterial infections. The active ingredients of the present invention have excellent angiogenesis-inhibiting activity. The angiogenesis inhibitor of the present invention is effective for inhibition of angiogenesis in malignant tumors, diabetic retinopathy, retinal angiogenesis, inflammatory diseases, and angiogenesis accompanying cardiovascular remodeling, etc., and can be used as therapeutic agents against each disease, etc. Further, the screening method of the present invention makes it possible to perform an effective screening of angiogenesis-inhibiting substances by detecting angiogenesis-inhibiting signals based on gene expression levels.

摘要:
[Object] The present invention is to provide a novel peptide having a potent hypotensive activity by inhibiting cardiac contractility, a DNA encoding the peptide, an antibody against the peptide, or a cardioinhibitory/hypotensive agent comprising the peptide as an active ingredient. A search of a genetic data base revealed the presence of a peptide biosynthesized by a processing of unspliced product of TOR2A mRNA. As a result of functional analysis, a peptide hormone exerting a potent bioactivity and expressed abundantly throughout human organs was found. The peptide is hydrophobic with a molecular weight of 2664.02 consisting of 24 amino acids (AIFIFISNTGGKQINQVALEAWRS) and shows a negative inotropism in rat hearts, as well as a marked systemic hypotensive activity.

摘要:
The present invention provides a therapeutic agent for psoriasis or atopic dermatitis, and comprises anti-Staphylococcus aureus antibodies as the active ingredient. A therapeutic agent for psoriasis or atopic dermatitis is specifically provided. This agent comprises comprehensive anti-S. aureus surface antibodies, including antibodies against entire cell-surface proteins, as the active ingredient. The agent is obtainable by: (a) treating S. aureus with a protein crosslinking/fixation reagent to fix proteins expressed on the surface of S. aureus via intramolecular crosslinking; (b) administering S. aureus treated with the protein crosslinking/fixation reagent for protein fixation to an animal as an immunogen; and (c) obtaining an antibody from the animal.
摘要:
A method for preparing comprehensive antibodies against whole proteins that are expressed on the surface of a microorganism and the comprehensive antibodies obtained by the method are provided. The method for preparing comprehensive antibodies against whole proteins that are expressed on the surface of a microorganism comprises: (a) treating a microorganism with a protein crosslinking and immobilization reagent and thus immobilizing proteins expressed on the surface of the microorganism via intramolecular crosslinking; (b) administering the microorganism as an immunogen immobilized using the protein crosslinking and immobilization reagent to an animal; and (c) obtaining antibodies from the animal.
摘要:
Disclosed are a method for screening for an antiangiogenic agent and a method for screening for an antiangiogenic gene, both of which are achieved by detecting an antiangiogenic signal within a short time by a simple means. The method for screening for an antiangiogenic agent comprises: a candidate compound administration step of administering a candidate compound for the antiangiogenic agent to a vascular endothelial cell or a cultured cell derived from a vascular endothelial cell; a cell-maintaining step of maintaining the vascular endothelial cell or the cultured cell derived from the vascular endothelial cell to which the candidate compound has been administered; and a signal detection step of detecting the phosphorylation of a protein phosphorylated by the administration of endostatin.
