摘要:
Multimeric hybrid genes encoding the corresponding chimeric protein comprise a gene sequence coding for an antigenic region of a protein from a first pathogen linked to a gene sequence coding for an antigenic region of a protein from a second pathogen. The pathogens particularly are parainfluenza virus (PIV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). A single recombinant immunogen is capable of protecting infants and similar susceptible individuals against diseases caused by both PIV and RSV.

Apparatus, systems, system components, methods, compositions, and reagents for determining the function and activity of peptides and proteins and for identifying and characterizing molecules that affect these functions and activities. More specifically, methods and reagents used to determine the various activities of peptides and proteins including their binding specificity, binding activity, their enzymatic activity and their ability to act as substrates for enzymes. The disclosed methods are especially suited for the analysis of peptide and protein function where large numbers of peptides and proteins need to be analyzed.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a kit and an assay method for rapidly and directly detecting a predetermined respiratory syncytial virus-related biological cell in a sample, even when present in an amount of less than about 2000 cells per microliter. In a preferred embodiment, a labeled antibody targets a nucleoprotein or a glycoprotein of RS virus. One may further detect an inflammatory indicator in the sample.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods of identifying the susceptibility of cells to reovirus infection by measuring constitutive ras-MAP signaling. The invention also pertains to methods using reovirus for the treatment of cellular proliferative disorders, and particularly cellular proliferative disorders wherein the proliferating cells exhibit constitutive MAPK phosphorylation, in mammals. In particular, the methods provide for reovirus treatment of mammals to treat proliferative disorders which include breast tumors, a subset of tumors in which mutation of the ras gene is not believed to play a significant role.

Methods of calibrating ELISA read-out for clinical antibody response are described. In particular, the invention relates to methods for calibrating ELISA read-out for the clinical antibody response to vaccines by quantitative mass spectrometry.
摘要:
This invention relates to a specimen-extracting solution containing a component capable of strongly suppressing false negatives, which could not be suppressed by conventional techniques, a method for extracting specimens, and a test reagent using such specimen-extracting solution and such method, when detecting virus, bacteria, target protein, or other antigens from specimens derived from body fluids, such as nasal swab specimens, nasal aspirate specimens, nasal wash specimens, nasal secretion specimens collected by nose blowing, pharyngeal swab specimens, saliva specimens, fecal specimens, serum specimens, plasma specimens, and urine specimens, with the use of a detection reagent utilizing the antigen-antibody reactions or the reactions between substances interactive with each other. The specimen-extracting solution as a constitutional unit of the test reagent or a member brought into contact with the specimens in a step performed before the detection reaction or a step performed simultaneously with the detection reaction is supplemented with a water-soluble compound comprising a phenyl, benzyl, tolyl, or xylyl group and, bound thereto, at least a carboxyl group, a functional group comprising methylated/ethylated atoms thereof, or a hydroxyl group.

摘要:
The present invention provides fully human antibodies that bind to respiratory syncytial virus F protein, compositions comprising the antibodies and methods of use. The antibodies of the invention are useful for preventing fusion of the virus with the cell membrane and preventing cell to cell spread of the virus, thereby providing a means of preventing the infection, or treating a patient suffering from the infection and ameliorating one or more symptoms or complications associated with the viral infection. The antibodies may also be useful for diagnosis of an infection by RSV.
