摘要:
The clone PLACE6002312 having a structure characteristic of G protein-coupled receptor was isolated from a human placental full-length cDNA library prepared by the oligo-capping method. Database search revealed that PLACE6002312 had the highest homology to HISTAMINE H2 RECEPTOR. Analysis for the expression of PLACE6002312 gene in human tissues revealed that the gene was expressed in various tissues, such as heart, liver, and ovary. In addition, histamine was found to be one of ligands for PLACE 6002312 by ligand-binding assay. Furthermore, a full-length cDNA for the mouse homolog of PLACE6002312 was isolated and the deduced amino acid sequence was revealed to comprise a structure characteristic of G protein-coupled receptor. PLACE6002312 can be used to screen for agonists and antagonists useful as pharmaceuticals and to diagnose various diseases caused by the abnormal activity or expression of the polypeptide.
摘要:
A method of highly efficiently transferring various selected molecules into various cells and a method of fusing cells. Cells and/or selected molecules such as polynucleotide are treated with cold gas plasma to thereby transfer the selected molecules located around cells into the cells, or cells are fused by treating the cells with cold gas plasma. Moreover, an apparatus for transferring selected molecules or fusing cells having a cold gas plasma generation unit for transferring selected molecules into cells is provided.
摘要:
An object of the present invention is to provide an anti-adhesion membrane that has no toxicity to a living body, has flexibility allowing itself to fit an affected part as a hydrated gel, is uniformly crosslinked, and is immediately absorbed in a living body after maintaining its shape in the living body for a certain period of time.The present invention provides anti-adhesion material, which comprises a thermally crosslinked gelatin film, and has a water content of 60 to 85% calculated by the following formula (1): water content (%)=[(Ws−Wd)/Ws]×100(%) (1), in the formula (1), Ws representing a weight (wet weight) of the anti-adhesion material immersed in a phosphate buffered saline solution at a temperature of 25° C. for one hour, and Wd representing a weight (dry weight) of the anti-adhesion material dried completely using a vacuum drying apparatus.
