摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of prognosis and/or diagnosis of a pellicular condition of the scalp, based on the measurement of the quantity of the active form of transglutaminase 3. The present invention also relates to a cosmetic treatment method for the scalp, a method for identifying compounds for reducing and/or eliminating the pellicular condition. Finally, the present invention relates to a kit and the use thereof for identifying a compound for reducing and/or eliminating the pellicular condition.

In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a system and method for the identification and characterization of a transglutaminase. Further, the present disclosure provides transglutaminase enzymes for forming isopeptide bonds, methods of forming isopeptide bonds in the presence of transglutaminases, and substrate tags for use with transglutaminases.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for determining whether a subject is suffering from celiac disease by contacting a sample of bodily fluid from the subject, with an antigen formed from a gliadin fusion protein immobilized on a solid support. The gliadin fusion protein of the antigen includes a recombinant deamidated gliadin linked to a tag such as Glutathione-S transferase (GST) protein. The antigen is prepared by immobilizing on the solid support the gliadin fusion protein via the tag. The antigen can further include tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) cross-linked to the gliadin fusion protein. When tTG is present, the tTG and recombinant deamidated gliadin are mixed together prior to immobilization to the solid phase.
摘要:
The cDNA which codes for factor XIIIa has been isolated using a cDNA bank from human placenta and probes constructed on the basis of the amino acid sequence of factor XIIIa peptide fragments. It is possible with this cDNA not only to obtain factor XIIIa by gene manipulation in high purity but also to prepare diagnostic aids which permit the analysis of genetic factor XIIIa defects. Furthermore, it is possible on the basis of the amino acid sequence to prepare antibodies which are suitable for diagnostic aids and antibody columns.
摘要:
Disclosed are diagnostic techniques for the detection of human prostate disease. The invention relates particularly to probes and methods for evaluating the presence of RNA species that are differentially expressed in metastatic prostate cancer compared to normal human prostate, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and non-metastatic prostate cancer. The invention also relates to probes and methods for evaluating the presence of RNA species that are differentially expressed in the peripheral blood of individuals with the disease state compared to normal healthy individuals. Described are methods of therapeutic use for genes identified as differentially expressed in metastatic prostate cancer, and means for screening pharmaceuticals effective in treatment of prostate cancer.

A leash assembly for training dogs includes a handle and an elongate strap connected at one end to the handle, the other end being adapted to be connected to a collar worn by the dog. An elastic element has a first length when in a relaxed state and is extensible four inches to a second length when fully extended. The elastic element is attached to the strap with the length of strap between attached ends of the elastic element being substantially equal to the second length. The force required to reach the fully extended state is about 5 pounds or 2.3 kilograms. The elastic element significantly limits the impact of strong, short correctional tugs or jerks on the leash by the trainer.
摘要:
An accurate, rapid and simple method of determining blood coagulation factor XIII activity and a kit of reagents therefor are provided. A sample and a fibrin precipitation inhibitor are mixed, or a sample, fibrinogen and a fibrin precipitation inhibitor are mixed; a thrombin solution is added; the fibrin coagulation time is measured in the presence of calcium ion; and the coagulation time is compared with the normal coagulation time. The kit for the determination comprises thrombin, calcium ion and a fibrin precipitation inhibitor, and may be combined with fibrinogen.

Process for the manufacture of a collagen solution and its use for the manufacture of collagen fibrillae for adsorbing coagulation factors, as diagnostic agent, for the manufacture of a collagen sponge and for use in a cosmetic preparation.
摘要:
The present disclosure is directed to a method for reducing immunoreactivity of a food including (a) incubating a food that contains at least one protein with a cross-linking enzyme to form a food that includes at least one cross-linked protein; and (b) fermenting the food including the at least one cross-linked protein with a microorganism to form a modified food including a hydrolysate of the at least one cross-linked protein, wherein (a) is performed before (b) and wherein a level of immunoreactivity of the modified food is less than a level of immunoreactivity of an unmodified food including at least one protein. Modified foods obtained from the present method are also provided.
