摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for production of recombinant human proteins, in which Tetrahymena cells are transformed with recombinant DNA containing at least one functional gene that codes for a human protein, the recombinant Tetrahymena cells are cultured, in which the gene that codes for a human protein is expressed and the proteins are then isolated. The present invention also concerns a corresponding method, in which the gene that codes for a human protein contains a human leader sequence that leads to secretion of the expressed protein.
摘要:
This invention provides the genes encoding the RNA triphosphatase and RNA guanylyltransferase of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and the catalytically active recombinant RNA triphosphatase and RNA guanylyltransferase enzymes. These enzymes form the basis of activity inhibition assays to identify molecules that specifically target the formation of the mRNA 5null cap in unicellular eukaryotic parasites.
摘要:
The present invention provides improved methods and compositions for producing oocysts. The oocysts produced according to the invention find use in the manufacture of vaccines. In preferred embodiments, the present invention provides methods and compositions for the production of Eimeria oocysts. Vaccines containing Eimeria oocysts, sporocysts and/or sporozoites produced according to the present invention may be used to immunize birds against coccidiosis either in ovo or post hatch.
摘要:
The present invention relates to (a) variable regions of heavy and light chains of an antibody specific to a surface antigen in sporozoite of Eimeria spp.; (b) a recombinant scFV (single chain variable fragment) antibody prepared using the variable regions; (c) a method for preparing a recombinant scFv antibody; and (d) an expression vector for expressing a recombinant scFv antibody.
摘要:
The present invention provides eukaryotic double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) expression vectors containing two promoters directed head-to-head with a designated intervening sequence of interest that is effective in eukaryotic cells containing the dsRNA expression vector, and a vaccine using an attenuated eukaryotic pathogenic cell. The present invention also provides methods of vaccinating against colonization or infection of a eukaryotic pathogen. The present invention further provides methods of generating double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) and screening designated nucleic acids capable of inhibiting expression of an essential eukaryotic gene.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of enhancing the levels of Poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) by 0.5 to 5 times in protests thraustochytrid protests by storing the cells under cold conditions, said method comprising steps of inoculating the protests into a culture medium, growing the culture for 2 to 5 days at room temperature, harvesting the cells by centrifugation to obtain biomass, storing the biomass at about 10null C. for time duration ranging between 12 to 48 hours, and obtaining increased PUFA from the stored biomass.
摘要:
Methods for delivering potentially therapeutic or prophylactic protein and peptide agents to mammalian cells are provided. The agents are delivered by mutant trypanosomatid protozoa that have been genetically manipulated to code for such protein or peptide agents. The mutant protozoa additionally lack certain enzymes within the heme biosynthetic pathway, making the mutants susceptible to porphyria and eventual lysis.
摘要:
A method of efficiently expressing Plasmodium AMA-1 ectodomain or a functional part, derivative and/or analogue thereof in a eukaryotic expression system. Preferably, the Plasmodium AMA-1 ectodomain is Pf AMA-1 ectodomain. This protein may be expressed in yeast, such as Pichia pastoris. Efficient expression is possible using a method for producing mRNA encoding said Plasmodium AMA-1 ectodomain in a yeast cell, comprising providing the yeast cell with a nucleic acid encoding Plasmodium AMA-1 ectodomain, the nucleic acid being modified to utilize the yeast's codon usage. Preferably, at least one putative yeast polyadenylation consensus sequence in the nucleic acid has been modified. More preferably, also at least one site in the protein that is generally glycosylated by eukaryotic expression systems, has been removed.
摘要:
The invention relates to the identification and isolation of polynucleotide molecules encoding a new class of protein insecticidal toxins which are produced by bacteria from the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus. The polynucleotide molecules may be incorporated into, for example, insect-specific viruses (including entomopox and nuclear polyhedrosis viruses), bacteria (including Gracilicutes, Firmicutes, Tenericutes and Mendosicutes), protozoa, yeast and plants for control of pest insects.
摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods of use of urea amidohydrolase (Ure) antigens and polynucleotides encoding the Ure antigens for generating an immunological response in an individual and in therapeutic and diagnostic applications of infections due to pathogenic Coccidioides spp. fungi, such as C. immitis or C. posadasii.
