  • Patent number: 8003375
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for identifying and/or cloning nucleic acid regions representing qualitative differences associated with alternative splicing events and/or with insertions, deletions located in RNA transcribed genome regions, between two physiological situations, comprising either hybridization of RNA derived from the test situation with cDNA's derived from the reference situation and/or reciprocally, or double-strand hybridization of cDNA derived from the test situation with cDNA's derived from the reference situation; and identifying and/or cloning nucleic acids representing qualitative differences. The invention also concerns compositions or banks of nucleic acids representing qualitative differences between two physiological situations, obtainable by the above method, and their use as probe, for identifying genes or molecules of interest, or still for example in methods of pharmacogenomics, and profiling of molecules relative to their therapeutic and/or toxic effects.

  • Publication number: 20090264301
    Abstract: The present invention concerns new compositions and methods for the detection of pathological events. It more specifically concerns methods for the detection in vitro of the presence of a pathology or a pathological event in a subject, comprising taking a sample of blood cells from the subject and determining, in this sample, the presence of blood cells presenting a physiological state characteristic of the pathology. The invention also concerns the tools, kits and compositions for the implementation of such methods, as well as their uses in the field of human and animal health, or in experimental research for example.

  • Publication number: 20030059788
    Abstract: The present invention describes new methods for the determination of the potential toxicity of test compounds, as well as the kits and tools for the implementation of these methods. The invention also describes methods for generating nucleic acid sequences that can be used as genetic markers of toxicity. The invention is based in particular on the creation of differential nucleic acid banks characteristic of situations in which cell viability and/or proliferation are deregulated, and on the demonstration that these banks can be used to evaluate the toxicity profile of compounds with reliability and high sensitivity. The invention is of special utility in the pharmaceutical industry for analysis of the toxicity profile of compounds involved in drug development and/or in pharmaceutical compositions.
