  • Method of detecting norwalk-like virus (GII)
    Patent number: 7351819
    Abstract: A method of detecting a virus in a specimen, whereby a Norwalk-like virus (GII) is detected by using as an index the nucleic acids of a complementary nucleotide sequence corresponding to the 4851- to 5450-positions of the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA of the prototype (standard strain) of the Norwalk-like virus (GII); and a detection kit for performing this method.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 28, 2001
    Date of Patent: April 1, 2008
    Assignee: BML, Inc.
    Inventors: Tsutomu Kageyama, Shigeyuki Kojima, Shuetsu Fukushi, Fuminori Hoshino, Kazuhiko Katayama
  • Method of detecting Norwalk-like virus (GI)

  • Antibody against norwalk virus and method of detecting virus by using the antibody
    Publication number: 20040073006
    Abstract: Immunogens containing antigen peptides specific for Norwalk virus which are selected from the amino acid sequences represented by SEQ ID NOs: 1 to 4, etc. and Norwalk-virus-specific antibodies against the immunogens are constructed. By detecting a virus with the use of such virus-specific antibodies, Norwalk virus can be conveniently and accurately detected.

  • Method of screening drug for hepatitis C
    Publication number: 20030124550
    Abstract: Hepatitis C virus-biding protein has been found to be a 40S ribosomal protein S5 composing a 40S ribosomal subunit of an eukaryote. On the basis of this finding, there is provided a method for screening test substances for a substance exhibiting anti-hepatitis-C-virus activity, through detection of inhibitory activity of the substance against binding between an IRES of a hepatitis C virus gene and a 40S ribosomal protein S5.
