    摘要: The present invention provides a method of manufacture of an anti-paratopic antibody comprising the steps of: (1) selecting from a pool of antibodies occurring in one species a prototypic set the members of which are effective in binding a specific antigen (or antigen epitope), and (2) utilizing one or more members of said prototypic set, or paratopic fragments thereof, as an immunogen in a host of a different species, or in an in vitro incubation system comprising cells derived from the same or a different species, to produce antibodies having a characteristic which is anti-paratopic with respect to said immunogen to produce a synthetic replicate of the specific antigen or epitope. Antigen (or antigen epitope), and monoclonal antibodies. vaccines and processes of immunization employing the product of the method of manufacture are also described.

    CPC分类号: C07K14/47

    摘要: The invention provides an alternative method of reversible aggregation and/or dissociation of polypeptides. Proteins or polypeptides according to the invention have an inherent aggregation capability, wherein the aggregation is an oligomerization of the polypeptide that is based on the presence and the strucuture of peptide repeats localized in a flexibly disordered domain of this polypeptide. The flexibly disordered domain comprising the peptide repeats preferrably is located in close proximity with the N-terminus of the protein amino acid sequence. Preferably, each of the peptide repeats has a sequence that comprises one to four identical octapeptides with the amino acid sequence: PHGGGWGQ. Preferred proteins are selected from the group comprising cellular prion proteins (PrPC) and engineered polypeptides or fusion proteins with a respective inherent reversible aggregation and dissociation capability. Because of the new mechanism of aggregation, the oligomerization reaction of the protein is reversible in a fluidic environment depending on the pH of this fluidic environment. Oligomerization occurs at a pH of 6.2 to 7.8, and the dissociation into monomers is reported to be at a pH range of 4.5 to 5.5. 1

    摘要: The present invention provides polynucleotides and related polypeptides of a newly discovered serratia metalloprotease (SMP), as well as polynucleotides and related polypeptides of a newly discovered serratia metalloprotease inhibitor (SmaPI). The present invention further relates broadly to the use of the newly discovered SMP as a nematocidal agent, either as an administered agent, or as part of an integrated management system. The polynucleotides can be used to transform plants normally susceptible to free-living or burrowing plant parasitic nematodes, such as those of the genera Ascaris and Radopholus.
