Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the detection of the occurrence of initiation of replication events in genomic DNA in a eukaryotic cell, involving contacting said eukaryotic cell comprising said genomic DNA with a first nucleotide probe, under conditions enabling in situ hybridization of said first nucleotide probe with a target region in the DNA genome, wherein said target region comprises a nucleic acid sequence which has no identified corresponding annealing RNA in a metabolically active cell and therefore remains RNA-free during transcription and replication of said DNA genome and detecting said first nucleotide probe hybridized to said DNA. Further detection of at least one RNA molecule can be achieved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transgenic mouse which comprises a deficiency for murine T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes and NK cells, a deficiency for murine MHC class I and MHC class II molecules, and a functional xenogenic SIRP? transgene. This mouse is useful for in vivo screening of various compounds, including immuno-therapeutic agents and vaccines. The said mouse is also useful for testing the in vivo metabolism of xenobiotic compounds.
Abstract: The invention relates to a genetically modified infectious measles virus derived from a live-attenuated measles virus strain, in which the gene encoding the viral accessory C protein has been knocked out (MV-deltaC). It concerns in particular the use of said genetically modified infectious MV-deltaC in the treatment of malignant tumor or cancer conditions, and for the preparation of agents or compositions for such treatment.

Abstract: The present invention provides kits and assay methods for the early detection of pathogens, precise identification of the etiologic agent, and improved disease surveillance. More specifically, the present invention discloses an immunoassay leading to the rapid and simultaneous detection of antibodies to a wide range of infectious pathogens in biological fluids of infected patients. This immunoassay involves the covalent and oriented coupling of fusion proteins comprising an AGT enzyme and a viral antigen on an identifiable solid support (e.g. fluorescent microspheres), said support being previously coated with an AGT substrate. This coupling is mediated by the irreversible reaction of the AGT enzyme on its substrate. The thus obtained antigen-coupled microspheres show enhanced capture of specific antibodies as compared to antigen-coupled microspheres produced by standard amine coupling procedures.
