Abstract:
Described herein is a method and assay of detecting the presence of a polynucleotide in a bodily fluid obtained from a subject treated with an anti-pathogenic agent comprising isolating the polynucleotide from a first and a second sample of a bodily fluid, amplifying the polynucleotide, and determining the polynucleotide, wherein the polynucleotide is a pathogen polynucleotide. Further provided is a method for diagnosing a pathogen infection in a subject, for detecting a pathogen infection in a subject treated with an anti-pathogenic agent, and for detecting the presence and/or genotype of a pathogen in a bodily fluid.
Abstract:
The present invention relates inter alia to nucleic acid molecules encoding prokaryotic TIR-domain containing polypeptides as well as fragments and functional homologues thereof for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a tri-substituted glycerol compound for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of hematological malignancies. The invention also refers to a kit-of-parts comprising such a medicament. Finally, the invention also relates to a corresponding method for the treatment of such conditions as well as to an in vitro method for determining the susceptibility of such malignant cells to a medicament as defined in the invention.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a tri-substituted glycerol compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof for the manufacture of a medicament for the prevention and/or treatment of radiation injuries. Furthermore, the invention relates to in vitro corresponding methods for preventing or treating of radiation damage or injury in one or more cells comprising contacting said cells with a medicament as defined in the invention.
Abstract:
A dispenser device (100) for dispensing a substance (101) onto a substrate (102), the dispenser device (100) comprising a gripper unit (103) adapted for gripping a container (104) including the substance (101), a first motion mechanism (116, 117) adapted for moving the gripper unit (103) and the substrate (102) relative to each other within a planar region (106), and a second motion mechanism (115, 201 to 209) adapted for moving the gripper unit (103) and the substrate (102) relative to each other in a direction (108) essentially perpendicular to the planar region (106) to thereby dispense the substance (101) to a surface portion (109) of the substrate (102), wherein the first motion mechanism (115) and the second motion mechanism (116, 117) are decoupled from one another.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to microorganisms and processes for the efficient preparation of L-methionine. In particular, the present invention relates to processes in which the amount of serine available for the metabolism of the microorganism is increased.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to devices and methods for the detection of analytes. In particular, the invention relates to methods for the qualitative and/or quantitative detection of analytes, comprising a microarray on a substrate, onto which probe molecules are immobilized on array elements, said microarray being disposed on a first surface of the device; and a detection chamber formed between the first surface including the microarray disposed thereon and a second surface, wherein the distance between the microarray and the second surface is variable, and wherein the second surface has a displacement structure.
Abstract:
A sensor device comprises an object having at least one magnetically encoded region thereon, at least two magnetic field detectors adapted to detect, as detecting signals, a magnetic field generated by the at least one magnetically encoded region in case of a sensor event, and a processing unit coupled with the at least two magnetic field detectors to be provided with the detecting signals adapted to simultaneously process the detection signals to compensate artificial differences between the detection signals.
