Abstract:
The present invention relates to a recombinant Koi herpesvirus (KHV), methods for the production of such KHV, cells comprising such KHV and the use of such KHV as vector and in vaccines for the prevention and/or therapeutic treatment of a disease in fish caused by Koi herpesvirus in carp such as Cyprinus carpio carpio or Cyprinus carpio koi.
Abstract:
Process for depositing by electrografting a strong adherent polymer coating onto an electrically conductive surface comprising the step of electrochemical grafting of an active monomer for forming a primer coating P onto the surface and having as general formula: X0 (meth)acrylate wherein X is either part of a preformed polymer or is an intermediate agent for polyaddition reaction or is an anchoring group for attachment of a molecule having at least one complementary reactive group. Such process allows formation of new primer by one-step electro-grafting of a macromonomer. Such process also allows further modification of an initial electrografted polymer to increase the coating thickness by the grafting-from technique. Such process also allows to graft onto the primer coating compounds like functional polymer, peptide, protein, oligonucleotide, dyes, drugs, anti-bacterian compounds.
Abstract:
A portable detection device and method for determining atomic elements in a sample using
an alpha particle source, a first detector for measuring particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), a second detector for measuring Rutherford Back Scattering (RBS), a first analyser, connected to said first detector, for generating a first presence signal respectively a first non detection signal of an atomic element, a second analyser, connected to said second detector, for generating a second presence signal respectively a second non detection signal of said atomic element, and a matching unit being provided for generating for each considered atomic element an acceptance signal if said matching unit received a first and a presence signal for the considered atomic element.
Abstract:
A gene (cDNA) encoding a bovine myostatin protein. The nucleic acid coding sequence is identified as SEQ ID NO:1 and the protein sequence is identified as SEQ ID NO:2. A mutant gene (SEQ ID NO:3) in which the coding sequence lacks an 11-base pair consecutive sequence (SEQ ID NO:11) of the sequence encoding bovine protein having myostatin activity has been sequenced. It has been shown that cattle of the Belgian Blue breed homozygous for the mutant gene lacking myostatin activity are double-muscled. A method for determining the presence of muscular hyperplasia in a mammal is described. The method includes obtaining a sample of material containing DNA from the mammal and ascertaining whether a sequence of the DNA encoding (a) a protein having biological activity of myostatin, is present, and whether a sequence of the DNA encoding (b) an allelic protein lacking the activity of (a), is present. The absence of (a) and the presence of (b) indicates the presence of muscular hyperplasia in the mammal.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions for the treatment or prevention of Zoster of individuals infected with Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), and to the prevention and treatment of Varicella infections. The compositions of the invention comprise the protein encoded by VZV gene 63 or an immunologically active derivative thereof. The invention further relates to compositions containing DNA or RNA corresponding to VZV gene 63.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of lipopeptide preparations as anti-titled-peptide agent, which are able to inhibit or limit de destabilisation effect of tilted peptides on hydrophobic/hydrophilic interfaces, for instance on membranes. The lipopeptides comprise surfactins, iturins, and fengycins. It also relates to a process for the production of the lipopeptide preparations.
Abstract:
Une méthode de préparation d'un gel organique chargé ou non en métal comprenant un mélange de benzène hydroxylé et d'aldéhyde (en particulier du résorcinol et du formaldéhyde), dans un solvant est décrite, dans laquelle la texture poreuse du gel est régulée par ajustement du pH du mélange de départ. Il est également décrit une méthode de préparation d'un matériau carboné, chargé ou non en métal et obtenu par séchage puis pyrolyse du gel organique correspondant, dont la texture poreuse est régulée selon le pH du mélange de départ. Les matériaux carboné obtenus peuvent être utilisés en catalyse chimique ou dans la fabrication d'electrode de piles à combustible.
Abstract:
An illumination device comprising a plate (1) provided for guiding light there through, having an input for receiving an input light beam (2) to be injected into said plate (1) and an array of N micro-prisms (3) for receiving the input light beam (2) and producing an output light beam from the input light beam (2).
