摘要:
The present invention relates in generally to RNAi and its use in gene silencing. In particular, the present invention relates to methods and constructs for delivering double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to pest organisms.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for controlling pest infestation using double stranded RNA molecules. The invention provides methods for producing transgenic cells expressing the double stranded RNA molecules, as well as compositions and commodity products containing or treated with such molecules.
摘要:
The present invention relates to control of pest infestation by inhibiting one or more biological functions. The invention provides methods and compositions for such control. By feeding one or more recombinant double stranded RNA molecules provided by the invention to the pest, a reduction in pest infestation is obtained through suppression of gene expression. The invention is also directed to methods for making transgenic plants that express the double stranded RNA molecules, and to particular combinations of transgenic pesticidal agents for use in protecting plants from pest infestation.
摘要:
Improved vector constructs useful in the expression of double-stranded RNA are provided. The constructs are particularly useful for expression of double-stranded RNA in vitro and in vivo.

摘要:
There is provided a method of identifying DNA responsible for conferring a particular phenotype in a cell which method comprises a) constructing a cDNA or genomic library of the DNA of the cell in a suitable vector in an orientation relative to a promoter(s) capable of initiating transcription of the cDNA or DNA to double stranded (ds) RNA upon binding of an appropriate transcription factor to the promoter(s), b) introducing the library into one or more of the cells comprising the transcription factor, and c) identifying and isolating a particular phenotype of the cell comprising the library and identifying the DNA or cDNA fragment from the library responsible for conferring the phenotype. Using this technique it is also possible to assign function to a known DNA sequence by a) identifying a homologue(s) of the DNA sequence in a cell, b) isolating the relevant DNA homologue(s) or a fragment thereof from the cell, c) cloning the homologue or fragment thereof into an appropriate vector in an orientation relative to a suitable promoter(s) capable of initiating transcription of dsRNA from the DNA homologue or fragment upon binding of an appropriate transcription factor to the promoter(s) and d) introducing the vector into the cell from step a) comprising the transcription factor.

Chimeric polypeptides encoded by a DNA sequence having a first DNA subsequence coding for a fragment of at least one of the .alpha.-and/or .beta.-chain of the human interleukin-5 receptor, and a second DNA subsequence coding for the constant domains of a heavy--or a light-chain of a human immunoglobulin, or a fragment thereof are useful in treating illnesses with demonstrated eosinophilia.
