    摘要: The present invention relates to therapeutic and prophylactic methods for treating Or preventing an infectious disease in a subject by stimulating or enhancing an immune response against an infectious agent causing the disease. The methods comprise administering to the subject a plurality of compositions, each composition being administered to a different site Of the subject, wherein each site is, or substantially drains to, an anatomically distinct lymph node, a group of lymph nodes, a nonencapsulated cluster of lymphoid tissue, or the spleen. Each composition comprises at least one antigenic molecule having one or more epitopes of the same infectious agent or a strain thereof. The antigenic molecules of each composition comprise in aggregate a set of epitopes distinct from that of any other composition that is administered to the subject.

    摘要: This invention provides methods by which biologically derived DNA sequences in a mixed sample or in an arrayed single sequence clone can be determined and classified without sequencing. The methods make use of information on the presence of carefully chosen target subsequences, typically of length from 4 to 8 base pairs, and preferably the length between target subsequences in a sample DNA sequence together with DNA sequence databases containing lists of sequences likely to be present in the sample to determine a sample sequence. The preferred method uses restriction endonucleases to recognize target subsequences and cut the sample sequence. Then carefully chosen recognition moieties are ligated to the cut fragments, the fragments amplified, and the experimental observation made. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is the preferred method of amplification. Another embodiment of the invention uses information on the presence or absence of carefully chosen target subsequences in a single sequence clone together with DNA sequence databases to determine the clone sequence. Computer implemented methods are provided to analyze the experimental results and to determine the sample sequences in question and to carefully choose target subsequences in order that experiments yield a maximum amount of information.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a methodology which is directed to providing positive confirmation that nucleic acids, possessing putatively identified sequence predicted to generate observed GeneCalling™ signals, are actually present within the sample from which the signal was originally derived. The putatively identified nucleic acid fragment within the sample possesses 3′- and 5′-ends with known terminal subsequences, said method comprising; contacting said nucleic acid fragments in said sample in amplifying conditions with (i) a nucleic acid polymerase; (ii) “regular” primer oligonucleotides having sequences comprising hybridizable portions of said known terminal subsequences; and (iii) a “poisoning” oligonucleotide primer, said poisoning primer having a sequence comprising a first subsequence that is a portion of the sequence of one of said known terminal subsequences and a second subsequence that is a hybridizable portion of said putatively unidentified sequence which is adjacent to said one known terminal subsequence, wherein nucleic acids amplified with said poisoning primer are distinguishable upon detection from nucleic acids amplified with said nucleic acids amplified only with said regular primers; separating the products of the contacting step; and the detecting sequence is confirmed if the nucleic acids amplified with said poisoning primer are detected.

    摘要: This invention relates to a method and device for separating charged particles according to their diffusivities in a separation medium by means of a spatially and temporarily varying electric potential. The method is particularly suited to sizing and separating DNA fragments, to generating DNA fragment length polymorphism patterns, and to sequencing DNA through the separation of DNA sequencing reaction products. The method takes advantage of the transport of charged particles subject to an electric potential that is cycled between an off-state (in which the potential is flat) and one or more on-states, in which the potential is preferably spatially periodic with a plurality of eccentrically shaped stationary potential wells. The potential wells are at constant spatial positions in the on-state. Differences in liquid-phase diffusivities lead to charged particle separation. A preferred embodiment of the device is microfabricated. A separation medium fills physically defined separation lanes in the device. Electrodes deposited substantially transverse to the lanes create the required electric potentials. Advantageously, injection ports allow sample loading, and special gating electrodes focus the sample prior to separation. The effects of thermal gradients are minimized by placing the device in contact with a thermal control module, preferably a plurality of Peltier-effect heat transfer devices. The small size of a microfabricated device permits rapid separation in a plurality of separation lanes.
