    摘要: The present invention relates to means and methods for determining neurotoxin activity. Specifically, it relates to a polypeptide having caspase activity comprising a large subunit and a small subunit wherein the caspase further comprises a neurotoxin cleavage site which upon cleavage activates the caspase activity. Also encompassed are polynucleotides encoding the polypeptides as well as vectors or host cells comprising the polynucleotides. The present invention further relates to a method for determining neurotoxin activity in a sample based on the polypeptide of the invention as well as the use of the polypeptide for determining neurotoxin activity in a sample, in general.

    摘要: T cell immune responses are enhanced by presentation of antigen to CD8+ T cells using a chimeric nucleic acid immunogen or vaccine that links DNA encoding an antigen with DNA encoding a polypeptide that targets or translocates the antigenic polypeptide to which it is fused (immunogenicity-potentiating polypeptides or “IPP”). By inhibiting apoptosis in the vicinity of a T cell responses to such a nucleic acid immunogen, even more potent immune responses are attained. The present strategy prolongs the survival of DNA-transduced cells, including dendritic cells (DCs), thereby enhancing the priming of antigen-specific T cells and increase potency. Co-delivery of DNA encoding an inhibitor of apoptosis, including (a) BCL-xL, (b) BCL-2, (c) XIAP, (d) dominant negative caspase-9, or (e) dominant negative caspase-8, or (f) serine protease inhibitor 6 (SPI-6) which inhibits granzyme B, with DNA encoding an antigen, prolongs the survival of transduced DCs and results in significant enhancement of antigenspecific T cell immune responses that provide potent antitumor effects. Thus, co-administration of a DNA vaccine encoding antigen linked to an IPP along with one or more DNA constructs encoding an anti-apoptotic protein provides a novel way to enhance vaccine potency.
