摘要:
A fast method of transforming competent cells is described. The competent cells are thawed at room temperature or in a water bath. Plasmid DNAs and competent cells are mixed together, then the mixture is subject to heat shock treatment. After plating the mixture on a low-temperature selective medium by a low-temperature plating tool, the competent cells are cultured on the selective medium.

The invention relates to an improved nucleic acid molecule encoding fungal immunomodulatory protein (FIP) that is better expressed in fungi, to vectors comprising the nucleic acid molecule, to hosts transformed with said vectors, to processes of expressing the protein of the invention in said transformed hosts, to the protein of the invention produced by said processes, to uses of said hosts comprising the protein of the invention and to a process of purifying FIP. The protein of the invention has wide immunomodulatory activity. Thus, the present invention further relates to uses of the protein of the invention in cosmetic or pharmaceutical compositions and to food or feed additives comprising the protein of the invention. Finally, the invention relates to the method of modulating immunological activities by orally administering FIP or proteins fused with FIP to a subject.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a process of producing novel fatty acids in oleaginous yeast by producing oleaginous yeast by introducing into the yeast genes coding for enzymes selected from the group consisting of D5-desaturase, D6-desaturase, D12-desaturase, D15-desaturase and elongase; and culturing the yeast in the medium containing high levels of carbon sources. The present invention is further directed to a residue or fatty acid that is obtained from pressing the oleaginous yeast produced by the process of the invention.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method for stimulation or an activation of immunological function directed to activate natural killer cells and macrophages or increase production of serum antibody in a patient in need of such stimulation or activation, comprising administering an isolated and/or purified polypeptide of a fungal immunomodulatory protein. This invention also relates to a method for suppressing proliferation of a cancer cell and a method for suppressing a tumor cell mobility, comprising providing to the tumor cell a purified polypeptide of a fungal immunomodulatory protein.
