    摘要: Disclosed herein is a therapeutic method for treating a clinical disorder associated with a mutation in the carboxypeptidase E gene. In the therapeutic method of the invention, a molecule having carboxypeptidase activity is introduced into the plasma of the individual being treated. Such molecules include, for example, carboxypeptidase H, carboxypeptidase M, carboxypeptidase N, carboxypeptidase U and carboxypeptidase B. Also disclosed are methods for identifying individuals falling within the class for which the therapeutic method described above can be effective. These methods include, for example, the isolation of DNA encoding carboxypeptidase E followed by either: 1) sequence determination and comparison to wild-type; or 2) expression and comparison of activity to wild-type activity. Also disclosed are oligonucleotide probes useful for diagnosing a clinical disorder such as obesity, impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes in an individual, the clinical disorder being associated with a mutation in the carboxypeptidase E gene.

    摘要: A method and compounds useful for this method are described for enzyme-amplified signal detection in analytical assays requiring extremely high detection sensitivity which uses a substrate capable of being transformed by an enzyme from a compound which does not form a luminescent lanthanide chelate into a product which forms a luminescent lanthanide chelate. The method in which a substrate not capable of forming a highly luminescent lanthanide chelate is enzymatically altered to produce a product which forms a highly luminescent lanthanide chelate and hence is particularly useful in time-resolved luminescence analysis as required in many different heterogeneous or homogeneous assay formats is described herein.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of characterizing viruses and the use thereof for classification. According to the invention, a cDNA copy of a first virus is made and the cDNA is amplified and cleaved using at least one restriction endonuclease. The location of restriction fragments is mapped and compared to that of other viruses. Primers useful for amplifying the cDNA may be derived from sequences found in the 5' non-coding regions of picornavirus including human rhinovirus.

    摘要: A nucleotide sequence characteristic of Neisseria gonorrhoeae is disclosed. The sequence can be the basis for hybridization type, nucleic acid-based, rapid, in vitro diagnostic assays. The unique nature of the sequence makes it possible to clearly discriminate N. gonorrhoeae from other Neisseria species thus eliminating or substantially reducing the number of false positive readings. A 350 base pair N. gonorrhoeae DNA restriction fragment was cloned after subtractive hybridization to Neisseria meningitidis DNA. In further cloning experiments the sequences adjacent to the original 350 base pair fragment were determined. A portion of this sequence was shown to detect 105 of 106 N. gonorrhoeae strains and no other Neisseria species. In addition to use as detection probes, all or portions of the nucleotide sequence can be used as a ligand for the sandwich capture of N. gonorrhoeae sequences and as primers for in vitro amplification of N. gonorrhoeae sequences. The polypeptides encoded by the presently disclosed sequence, including antibodies thereto, are also disclosed as are their uses.
