Abstract:
It is intended to disclose an anti-HIV agent which contains as the active ingredient a mannose-binding protein (MBP) and efficaciously contributes to the treatment of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and inhibits the progress of the disease. It is also intended to disclose a method of evaluating an anti-HIV activity exerted by the MBP which involves the step of culturing HIV-infected cells in the presence of the MBP.
Abstract:
An adenovirus vector which at least contains a partly or fully E1-lacking type 35 adenovirus genome and shows an excellent gene transfer activity on specific cell lines, in particular hematopoietic cells. This adenovirus vector shows an excellent gene transfer activity on specific cell lines, in particular, hematopoietic cells, ES cells, pluripotent stem cells, blood stem cells and tissue stem cells.
Abstract:
Novel collectin-related molecules expected as exerting antibacterial and antiviral activities, etc. particularly in the human body, namely, a novel collectin gene containing the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 and a novel collectin containing the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:2; and a method with the use of the same.
Abstract:
Proteins having the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOS: 2, 4 and 6 and proteins derived from these proteins by deletion, substitution or addition of one or several amino acids in these amino acid sequences; base sequences encoding these proteins; a transgenic non-human animal having an altered BSSP6 expression level; an antibody against BSSP6; and a method for detecting BSSP6 in a specimen by using this antibody.
Abstract:
A monoclonal antibody binding selectively to neurosin obtained from hybridomas, in particular, strain 2B2-6 and strain S2E5 showing stable proliferation ability. These hybridomas are obtained by fusing mouse spleen cells having a high antibody titer against neurosin with mouse-derived myeloma cells, screening fused cells being highly reactive with neurosin, and thus producing an antibody binding specifically to neurosin. By using this antibody, various diseases in which neurosin participates can be diagnosed.
