(I) was prepared by reacting a phtalic anhydride of the formula: (2) with a 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone of the formula: (3) (I) are useful as flame retardants for polymers having high melting points, and such polymers comprising (I) accomplish excellent weather resistance and heat resistance.
Abstract:
Oligonucleotides comprising not less than 10 consecutive bases in the sequences of (I)-(XX) with 20-23 base pairs for use in cleaving, detecting or amplifying essential pab genes of tubercle bacillus or RNA originated from them and capable of binding specifically with such genes or RNA, or their complementary oligonucleotides, are new. An independent claim is also included for a method for the detection of tubercle bacillus-originated pab genes comprising: (a) using specific sequences of the pab genes or their derived RNA in a sample as template, and a first primer containing sequences analogous to such specific sequences and a second primer containing sequences complementary to these specific sequences (provided that any of the first and second primers has a sequence attached with a promoter sequence of RNA polymerase at its 5'-side), with RNA-dependent DNA polymerase for cDNA synthesis, and producing single-stranded DNA by decomposition of the RNA of an RNA-DNA double strand by ribonuclease H; (b) using the single-stranded DNA as template for DNA-dependent DNA polymerase to form a double-stranded DNA with a promoter sequence for transcription of an RNA from the specific sequences or their complementary sequences and subsequently producing an RNA product in the presence of an RNA polym erase with the double-stranded DNA; (c) RNA amplification with such RNA transcription product as template for cDNA synthesis by the RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, wherein the first and second primers can also be those of not less than 10 bases long derived from sequences (XXVIII)-(XXXIII) all with 51 base pairs and from sequences (XXXIV)-(XLI) with 20-23 base pairs, identical to a part of the RNA sequence originating in the pab genes or their complementary sequences, for amplification.
Abstract:
It is intended to provide oligonucleotides which are useful in specifically cleaving, amplifying, detecting and highly sensitively identifying pab genes encoding a tubercle bacillus-origin antigen protein pab or RNA originating these genes. A combination of oligonucleotides efficacious in specifically amplifying, detecting and highly sensitively identifying RNA originating in tubercle bacillus pab genes, and a method of detecting tubercle bacillus by using the same.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a replicator the pin-like members of which are readily replaceable, at low cost. SOLUTION: The replicator 10 is equipped with a first substrate 12 and a second substrate 14 provided with holes 28 for pins corresponding to implanted positions of the pin-like members 16. Furthermore, the pin-like members 16 have a rod-like leg part 20 and a head part 18 overhanging at least a part in the radial direction of the leg part 20, respectively. The leg part 20 is projected from each hole 28 for the pins of the second substrate. The head part 18 is nipped between the first substrate 12 and the second substrate 14 and fixed.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a more excellent method for avoiding an effect of a medicine as a countermeasure against the problem wherein a case showing an abnormal value is confirmed when the specimen of a patient is measured using an immunoassay reagent. SOLUTION: A medicine metabolite adsorbent containing an antibody specifically reacting with the metabolite of the medicine is prepared, and this adsorbent is brought into contact with the specimen to adsorb the medicine metabolite in the specimen. The adsorbent is added to the immunoassay reagent and this immunoassay reagent is used to perform immunoassay reduced in fear showing the abnormal value. This method is especially useful when a metabolite of dichlorophenacs coexists in the specimen and the immunoassay of total triiodothyronine and/or free type triiodothyronine is performed.
