摘要:
The present invention provides a method of producing an insulin C-peptide, which comprises expressing in a host cell a multimeric polypeptide comprising multiple copies of the insulin C-peptide, and cleaving the expressed polypeptide to release single copies of the insulin C-peptide. Also provided are nucleic acid molecules, expression vectors and host cells, for use in such a method and the multimeric insulin C-peptide polypeptide expressed and cleaved in such a method.
摘要:
A method for obtaining a Staphylococcus carnosus bacterium expressing at its membrane surface a recombinant polypeptide derived from RSV protein G, said polypeptide having a sequence which is a modification of SEQ ID No. 1 and SEQ ID No. 2 (sequence encompassed between residues 130 and 230 of RSV A and RSV B protein G respectively) wherein at least one of position 44 and 57 is serine is disclosed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a process for improving the immunogenicity of an immunogen, an antigen or a hapten, when it is administered to a host, independently of the mode of administration, characterized in that the said antigen or hapten is coupled covalently to a support molecule in order to form a complex, and in that this support molecule is a polypeptide fragment which is able to bind specifically to mammalian serum albumin. The invention also relates to the use, as a medicament, of the product which can be obtained in this way.
摘要:
A complex of an immunogen and a support molecule, characterized in that the immunogen is coupled covalently to a support molecule, wherein the support molecule is a polypeptide fragment which is able to bind specifically to mammalian serum albumin is disclosed. The invention also relates to the use of such complexes to treat RSV infection, as well as vaccines derived from such complexes.

摘要:
A device (1, 10) and method for the production of cooled coffee are provided. The device has a brewing unit (4) for the production of coffee, a cooling assembly (11) and a coffee cooler (14) formed as a heat exchanger. The coffee cooler (14) has at least one first and one second flow path that are connected thermally but not in a fluid-conducting manner. A coolant can flow through the first flow path and the second flow path is connected in a fluid-conducting manner with a coffee outlet (5) of the brewing unit (4). The device also has a fresh-water supply (2) and a fresh-water cooler (13) formed as an additional heat exchanger. The fresh-water cooler (13) has at least one first and one second flow path that are connected thermally but not in a fluid conducting manner and the fresh-water supply (2) is connected in a fluid-conducting manner downstream with the second flow path of the fresh-water cooler (13), further downstream with the first flow path of the coffee cooler (14), and further downstream with the brewing unit (4) and the first flow path of the fresh-water cooler (13) is connected in a fluid-conducting manner with a coolant circuit of the cooling assembly.

Preparation of 5-cyanovalerates (I) by the carbonylation of a 1-cyanobutene with carbon monoxide and an alkanol (II) corresponding to the ester radical at an elevated temperature and under superatmospheric pressure in the presence of a cobalt catalyst as well as in the presence of an activating solvent, in which the activating solvent used is an effective amount of a urea of the formula IIIcR.sub.2 N--CO--NR.sub.2 (IIIc)where R is, C.sub.1 -C.sub.6 -alkyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.7 -cycloalkyl or where 2R groups together form 5-membered to 7-membered rings. The end products I serve as intermediates, chiefly for the preparation of .epsilon.-caprolactam.
摘要:
A method for directly converting wind energy into electrical energy is provided. An air stream is ionized and then routed through the electrical field of a collection electrode providing an opposing field for the air ions. The ions are collected on a collection electrode. The electrical potential of the collection electrode is higher than the ionizer, and discharged. A counter-electrode in front of the collection electrode has an electrical potential higher than the collection electrode. Ionized air molecules overcome the electrical field emanating from the counter-electrode via wind power. An apparatus for carrying out the method is provided. An optional retaining electrode, located in front of the ionizer electrode, drives ionized air in the counter-electrode and collection electrode direction. The apparatus is expediently located in a flow channel, with inlet and outlet electrodes at respective ends. A plurality of flow channels combine to form a flow generation module.
摘要:
A device for the propulsion and eccentric braking of a vehicle having a pedal drive, which includes a first shaft, a drive mechanism including one or a plurality of chain wheels, belt pulleys or elements of a Cardan drive, a second hollow shaft arranged concentrically about the first shaft mounted into a rear wheel, a freewheel clutch mounted between the first shaft and the drive mechanism, and an optionally engageable reverse gear mechanism mounted between the first and the second shaft. The first and the second shafts are connected to each other in a torsionally rigid manner when the reverse gear mechanism is in the engaged and disengaged state. The freewheel clutch prevents a rotation of the drive mechanism relative to the first shaft in a clockwise direction and is in a freewheeling state when the drive mechanism rotates in a counter-clockwise direction relative to the first shaft.
