Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods for preparing samples for subsequent nucleic acid (e.g. DNA) amplification, which methods are simpler to perform than existing methods.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of thrombomodulin analogues for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of coagulopathy with hyperfibrinolysis, such as haemophilia disorders. These thrombomodulin analogues exhibit at therapeutically effective dosages an antifibrinolytic effect. Novel protein modifications together with methods for their identification are disclosed.

Abstract:
The present invention is based on the surprising finding of a proteolytic cleavage function of human Malt1. More particularly, the present invention relates to enzyme and screening assays, methods for assessing cleaving activity, methods for screening, isolated polypeptides, antibodies and inhibitors of Malt1. The present invention also relates to the use of Malt1 as a proteolytic enzyme and the use of compounds comprising a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence according to any one of SEQ ID NO: 1-47 as substrates susceptible for specific proteolytic cleavage.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to methods and system for tissue cell and/or nucleic acid molecule isolation. In particular, to a method for isolating nucleic acid molecules from tissue samples comprising: i) treating a tissue sample with at least one enzyme for tissue dissociation; ii) adding a lytic solution; and iii) isolating nucleic acid molecules. The method further comprises a step of applying hydrodynamic shear force to the product of step (i). The methods and/or system according to the invention are adaptable for use with micromechanical and/or automated processes.
Abstract:
Described is a method for identification, isolation and production of hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens from a specific pathogen, a tumor, an allergen or a tissue or host prone to autoimmunity, said antigens being suited for use in a vaccine for a given type of animal or for humans, which is characterized by the following steps: - providing an antibody preparation from a plasma pool of said given type of animal or from a human plasma pool or individual sera with antibodies against said specific pathogen, tumor, allergen or tissue or host prone to auto-immunity, - providing at least one expression library of said specific pathogen, tumor, allergen or tissue or host prone to auto-immunity, - screening said at least one expression library with said antibody preparation, - identifying antigens which bind in said screening to antibodies in said antibody preparation, - screening the identified antigens with individual antibody preparations from individual sera from individuals with antibodies against said specific pathogen, tumor, allergen or tissue or host prone to auto-immunity, - identifying the hyperimmune serum-reactive antigen portion of said identified antigens and which hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens bind to a relevant portion of said individual antibody preparations from said individual sera and - optionally isolating said hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens and producing said hyperimmune serum-reactive antigens by chemical or recombinant methods.
Abstract:
Methods and compounds for the preparation of nucleic acid samples. Polymerase inhibitors are treated so as to allow for amplification of nucleic acid from biological sources, including whole blood.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a diagnostically useful carrier comprising a means for capturing Neurogranin, a means for capturing BACE1 and preferably a means for capturing one or more additional biomarkers; a kit comprising the diagnostically useful carrier, optionally further comprising a means for detecting Neurogranin, a means for detecting BACE1 and preferably a means for detecting the one or more additional biomarkers; and a method comprising the steps contacting a sample from a subject with a means for capturing Neurogranin, isolating the means for capturing Neurogranin from the sample and contacting a sample from a subject with a means for capturing BACE1 and isolating the means for capturing BACE1 from the sample. The diagnosis aims to distinguish a neurodegenerative disease, preferably mild Alzheimer's disease, and depression with or without cognitive impairment.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods and compositions for labeling target molecules or associated target molecule tags with origin-specific nucleic acid barcodes. The identity, quantity, and/or activity of target molecules originating from particular discrete volumes, such as droplets, for example water-in-oil emulsions, can be determined by determining the sequence of the origin-specific nucleic acid barcodes (optionally in combination with additional barcodes, such as one or more additional nucleic acid and/or peptide barcode).
Abstract:
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Nachweisverfahren für Nukleinsäuren in Proben, die biologisches Material enthalten, sowie ein Kit, mit dessen Bestandteilen das Nachweisverfahren durchgeführt werden kann. Beispielsweise ist das Nachweisverfahren geeignet, um in solchen Proben, die biotechnologisch hergestelltes biologisches Material enthalten, Nukleinsäuren von Wirtszellen, die für die Herstellung des Material verwendet wurden, nachzuweisen.
