摘要:
The invention provides methods and apparatus for carrying out multiple amplification reactions in a single reaction chamber by successive cycles of loading reaction mixture, amplifying, and removing spent reaction mixture in a fluidly closed reaction system. In particular, the present invention allows amplification of a plurality of target polynucleotides from a single sample by carrying out under closed-loop control successive amplifications of different target polynucleotides from different portions of the sample.

Methods and compositions for treating or ameliorating diseases and other conditions, such as infectious diseases, autoimmune diseases and allergies are provided. The methods employ mono- and disaccharide-based compounds for selectively stimulating immune responses in animals and plants.
摘要:
Compositions and methods for the therapy and diagnosis of cancer, particularly breast cancer, are disclosed. Illustrative compositions comprise one or more breast tumor polypeptides, immunogenic portions thereof, polynucleotides that encode such polypeptides, antigen presenting cell that expresses such polypeptides, and T cells that are specific for cells expressing such polypeptides. The disclosed compositions are useful, for example, in the diagnosis, prevention and/or treatment of diseases, particularly breast cancer.

摘要:
A method for long-term maintenance of intact nucleic acid is provided. The method comprises introducing a nucleic acid containing receptacle into a cavity of a storage device. The nucleic acid containing receptacle comprises an amount of isolated vertebrate nucleic acid in a cavity of the receptacle, wherein either the receptacle or storage device is formed of a natural material. The nucleic acid is retained in the cavity by a fastener. A sealant is introduced into the aperture of the cavity of the device to form a nucleic acid storage device.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method for detecting B. burgdorferi infection utilizing an antigen preparation lacking a detectable level of outer surface protein A (OspA). The antigen preparation is made from an isolate of B. burgdorferi that lacks the plasmid encoding outer surface protein A (OspA). The method of the invention discriminates B. burgdorferi infection from OspA vaccination.
