摘要:
The present invention provides an elastase inhibitory polypeptide comprising a C-terminal half of a human secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI) and having an elastase inhibitory activity wherein inhibitory activity of a trypsin-like serine protease does not exceed 1/10 of elastase inhibitory activity, and polypeptides having the above-mentioned biological activity wherein one or more than one amino acid is added, one or more than one amino acid is deleted and/or one or more than one amino acid is replaced. The present invention also provides a process for the production of the above-mentioned protein or other protein via a corresponding fused protein.

Pyridopyrimidine nucleotide derivatives expressed by formula (I), which are fluorescent and capable of forming base pairing with guanine or adenine, and oligo- or polynucleotide which have at least one of these derivatives in their molecules or at their molecular terminals: ##STR1## wherein X.sub.1 and X.sub.1 respectively represent ##STR2## (in which n indicates an integer of 0, 1, 2, or 3; however, in no case X.sub.1 and Y.sub.1 both indicate n=O); Z.sub.1 indicates a hydrogen atom or ##STR3## (in which n indicates an integer of 1, 2, or 3); W.sub.1 indicates a hydrogen atom or a hydroxyl group. As for R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, in case where R.sub.1 is an amino group or halogen, R.sub.2 indicates a single bond between the carbon atom at the 7-position and the nitrogen atom at the 8-position, and in case where R.sub.2 is a hydrogen atom or an lower alkyl group, R.sub.1 indicates a carbonyl bond ##STR4## formed with the carbon atom at the 7-position.
摘要:
Means for effectively performing therapies at a low cost is provided in which an antibody drug including a fusion protein fusing an extracellular region of IL-10 receptor 1 with a human antibody is used. A gene encoding a fusion protein fusing an extracellular region of IL-10 receptor 1 with a constant region of human IgG1 is incorporated into an expression vector to provide an expression vector for gene therapies and vaccines.
摘要:
A polyribonucleotide having a thermodynamically stable loop structure and ribozyme activity and a DNA that codes for the polyribonucleotide. The polyribonucleotide has the following structure ##STR1## Direct administration of the ribozyme polyribonucleotide of the present invention into the body of a patient enables a target polyribonucleotide in the body to be efficiently cleaved, thereby allowing it to be used as an anti-AIDS drug.
摘要:
There is disclosed a compound having a double chain which is composed of an RNA (+chain) and a complementary DNA (-chain), wherein a portion of the DNA (-chain) has been replaced by an RNA or a derivative thereof, and wherein, when the compound is subjected to the action of an enzyme having a ribonuclease H activity, it is possible to preferentially cleave the RNA (+chain) in a position corresponding to the unsubstituted portion of the DNA (-chain). The compound can thus be used for the preferential cleavage of a phosphodiester bond in a specific position of RNA. Accordingly, the invention provides a useful means for preparing, for instance, a deletion mutant. There is also disclosed a mixed oligomer which comprises an oligomer of RNA or a derivative thereof and a DNA oligomer, wherein the RNA oligomer or a derivative thereof is conjugated to the DNA oligomer via a phosphate diester linkage between the 5'-hydroxyl group and the 3'-hydroxyl group in the ribose or deoxyribose moiety. There is further disclosed a nucleoside derivative of a given general formula for use as a starting material.
