摘要:
Methods for screening for agents capable of modulating human neuromedin U receptor 2 (NMUR2) activity are provided, as well as therapeutic methods for treating NMUR2-mediated conditions. More specifically, methods are provided for identifying agents capable of inhibiting NMUR2-mediated pain or nociception.
摘要:
Methods for treating or alleviating pain by treating a subject in need thereof with an agonist of OPSDL3 activity or expression. Further provided are screening methods for identifying agents capable of activating OPSDL3, and transgenic non-human animals which homozygous for deletion of the endogenous OPSDL3 gene and/or comprise a human OPSDL3 gene.
摘要:
Provided is a human RE2-L protein, as well as the encoding nucleic acid, methods for screening for agents capable of modulating RE2-L related activity and treating RE2-L-mediated conditions. Further provided are animal models useful for screening agents capable of ameliorating or reducing anxiety related disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
摘要:
A method of stimulating an immune response in a subject including administering a micrometer-sized particle coupled with an antigen to the subject, wherein increasing the aspect ratio of the micrometer-sized particle increases the immune response. A method of stimulating an immune response in a subject including administering to the subject a plurality of particles, wherein each particle is coupled with an immuno stimulating agent and a protein. A vaccine particle composition including a plurality of particles configured to release a first protein at a first rate and a second protein at a second rate and configured to provide priming and boosting capability in a single dose.
摘要:
A method for engineering and utilizing large DNA vectors to target, via homologous recombination, and modify, in any desirable fashion, endogenous genes and chromosomal loci in eukaryotic cells. These large DNA targeting vectors for eukaryotic cells, termed LTVECs, are derived from fragments of cloned genomic DNA larger than those typically used by other approaches intended to perform homologous targeting in eukaryotic cells. Also provided is a rapid and convenient method of detecting eukaryotic cells in which the LTVEC has correctly targeted and modified the desired endogenous gene(s) or chromosomal locus (loci) as well as the use of these cells to generate organisms bearing the genetic modification.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to a supplied air respirator that uses an adjustable length hose as a conduit between the respirator facepiece and the clean air supply source.
摘要:
Techniques are disclosed to silently sign-in a user of an offline game title onto an online service. The user is afforded access to select online services to facilitate future online gaming. In a described implementation, a method is disclosed. The method silently signs in a user of an offline game title onto an online gaming service. As a result, the signed-in user may receive one or more online services such as an in-game notification, a friend request (e.g., inviting a user to become a friend), a cross-title game invitation, and/or data corresponding to a friends list.
摘要:
A method and system for a platform wide party system that may be deployed in a multiplayer gaming environment. Players may associate themselves with one or more parties, wherein players within a party may choose to automatically exchange messages associated with changes in state of the players in a gaming environment. The party system exposes an API providing a plurality of function calls that may be integrated seamlessly with game play. A first player may indicate desired notification events to be received from a second player associated with the same party as the first player. Upon detection of a desired notification event on the video game console of the second player, an event notification may be communicated to a video game console of the first player causing an action to be performed on the first player's video game console. Actions may include event notifications via text and/or sound, which may be displayed to the first player while engaged in any game session and without requiring the first player to exit the current game session.
