    摘要: The present invention relates generally to a method of diagnosing, predicting or monitoring the development or progress of a condition characterised by modulation in the level of activin expression and, more particularly, a method of diagnosing, predicting or monitoring the development or progress of a condition characterised by modulation in the level of expression of activin bc subunit. The present invention still further provides methods for the therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of conditions characterised by aberrant, unwanted or otherwise inappropriate activin expression, for example, conditions characterised by over-expression or underexpression of activin and most particularly, conditions characterised by overexpression or underexpression of activin bc subunit. A further aspect of the present invention extends to agents for use in the methods of the present invention.

    摘要: A reactor for plating a metal onto a surface of a workpiece is set forth. The reactor comprises a reactor bowl including an electroplating solution disposed therein and an anode disposed in the reactor bowl in contact with the electroplating solution. A contact assembly is spaced from the anode within the reactor bowl. The contact assembly includes a plurality of contacts disposed to contact a peripheral edge of the surface of the workpiece to provide electroplating power to the surface of the workpiece. The contacts execute a wiping action against the surface of the workpiece as the workpiece is brought into engagement therewith The contact assembly also including a barrier disposed interior of the plurality of contacts. The barrier includes a member disposed to engage the surface of the workpiece to assist in isolating the plurality of contacts from the electroplating solution. In one embodiment, the plurality of contacts are in the form of discrete flexures while in another embodiment the plurality of contacts are in the form of a Belleville ring contact. A flow path may be provided in the contact assembly for providing a purging gas to the plurality of contacts and the peripheral edge of the workpiece. The purging gas may be used to assist in the formation of the barrier of the contact assembly. A combined electroplating/electroless plating tool and method are also set forth.

    摘要: The invention provides an improved contact ring and an improved workpiece support, each of which is useful alone or jointly with the other in a workpiece holder for electrochemically treating microelectronic workpieces. Several embodiments of the invention provide a composite contact ring having a dielectric base carrying a conductor which delivers electric power to a microelectronic workpiece. The dielectric base may be rigid and define a plurality of rigid fingers, each of which carries a separate electrical contact of the conductor. Such a contact ring is expected to have a long service life and enhance uniformity of electrochemical treatment. Several embodiments of the invention provide a workpiece support which induces a control the flexure of a microelectronic workpiece without damaging the workpiece. This controlled flexure can ensure more uniform contact between the workpiece and a contact assembly despite variations in the workpiece and/or the contact assembly.

    摘要: A desired protein having the formula:A-B-C-P,wherein (a) A is Lys or Arg, and B and C are arbitrary amino acids, or (b) A is an arbitrary amino acid different from Pro, Lys, and Arg, and B and/or C is Pro is produced from a biosynthetically formed amino-terminally extended protein having the formula:X-A-B-C-P,wherein A, B, C are defined above, and X is an amino acid sequence with an even number of amino acids, of which the first amino acid, seen from the N-terminal end, is different from Lys and Arg, all other am/no acids are different from Pro, Lys and Arg, and all even amino acids are different from Pro, by reaction with the enzyme dipeptidyl aminopeptidase (DAP I). The desired protein is obtained in a pure state. Specifically, P is human growth hormone (hGH). Thus, compositions of hGH may be produced without the presence of Met-hGH.
