摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for designing a cell culture medium adapted to support a cell line in a pre-defined manner. The method includes generating an expression profile of a cell line, identifying from the expression profile a set of biomolecules to evaluate for their effect on an end-point assay using the cell line, testing each biomolecule in the set for its effect in the endpoint assay, wherein each biomolecule that is determined to have a measurable effect in the end-point assay relative to a control, not containing the biomolecule, is considered a positive biomolecule and formulating a cell culture medium for the cell line by adding a positive biomolecule to a basal medium to form a modified medium, and determining whether the modified medium is sufficient to support the cell line in the pre-defined manner. Methods for identifying biomolecules for use in designing a cell culture medium adapted to support a cell line in a pre-defined manner, methods for preparing a serum-free cell culture medium that is sufficient to support a cell line and arrays for use in such methods are also provided.

An egg freezing and storing instrument has an egg freezing and storing tube made of a liquid nitrogen-resistant material; and a metal cylindrical protection member for protecting the tube. The tube has a body part; and an egg-storing small-diameter part having an inner diameter of 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm. The tube can be heat-sealed at a front side of the small-diameter part and at a rear side of the body part. The cylindrical protection member has a tubular part for accommodating a front side of the small-diameter part of the tube; and a semi-tubular part for accommodating a portion of the small-diameter part not accommodated in the tubular part and a front portion of the body part.

The present invention provides siRNA methods and compositions for inhibiting HIV infection and/or replication, as well as systems for identifying effective siRNAs for inhibiting HIV and systems for studying HIV infective mechanisms. The invention also provides methods and compositions for inhibiting infection, pathogenicity and/or replication of an infectious agent; for example, by using siRNAs to inhibit host cell gene expression.

The invention relates to a new nullgene-switchnull (cumate-inducible switch) for mammalian cells. This switch is as useful in the development of expression systems and cell-based assays for functional genomics as in the generation of viral vectors for gene therapy.

The present invention relates to protein engineering for production of analogs of MB-1. MB-1 analogs are more stable to different biochemical conditions than the native protein, and allow for improving the supplying of essential amino acids to human and animals. De novo synthesis of MB-1 analogs is principally targeted to enhance availability of essential amino acids required for farm animal production or human health.

Disclosed are methods and compositions useful, e.g., for controlling the valency of display proteins during display library screenings and selections. In one embodiment, they are applicable to phage and phage libraries that are based on bacteriophage, e.g., filamentous bacteriophage.
摘要:
The present invention relates to selectable marker gene, method of producing genetically modified cells allowing expression of a bicistronic vector, and ex vivo gene therapy applications. The invention also relates to selection of genetically engineered cells from the mixed population, prior to implantation in vivo. The invention describes the human cytidine deaminase (CD) gene as an ex vivo dominant selectable marker in gene-modified primary cells with cytosine nucleoside analogues. A bicistronic retrovector comprising the human CD coding sequence and the enhanced green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene is used for the transduction of cells. The invention describes the introduction of CD gene in cell and gene therapy applications for the ex vivo dominant selection of genetically engineered cells.
摘要:
Compounds, compositions and methods are provided for modulating the expression of adipophilin. The compositions comprise oligonucleotides, targeted to nucleic acid encoding adipophilin. Methods of using these compounds for modulation of adipophilin expression and for diagnosis and treatment of disease associated with expression of adipophilin are provided.
摘要:
A novel cell culture medium suitable for primary culture of insect cells, an insect-derived water-soluble chitin, and a process of preparing an insect culture cell line in a short period of time by using the insect primary culture medium and the insect-derived water-soluble chitin. The insect cell primary culture medium comprises lactalbumin hydrolysate, yeastolate, and tryptose phosphate broth as protein extracts, and polyvinylpyrrolidone as a viscosity-supplementing agent. The insect-derived water-soluble chitin is subjected to deacetylation as the sole chemical modification.
