  • Publication number: 20140057273
    Abstract: Digital assay system, includes methods, apparatus, and compositions, for distinguishing and measuring different types of templates according to the different lengths of corresponding amplicons, which may be amplified by the same pair of primers. The system may include a length-sensitive reporter generating luminescence that varies according to amplicon length. The system may, for example, be utilized to identify, distinguish, and/or quantify wild-type and mutant/variant templates, processed and unprocessed template, a target template and a primer dimer, or the like.

    Applicant: Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.
    Inventors: Claudia Litterst, Luis A. Ugozzoli
  • Publication number: 20070202541
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to identify substances and a use of such substances which can modulate IL-4 dependent signaling involved in tumor diseases, preferably Hodgkin Lymphomas or inflammatory airway diseases, preferably asthma and a method for determining whether a substance can modulate the interaction of STAT6 with NCoA-1, characterized in that a) STAT6 or fragments or derivatives thereof having the ability to bind to NcoA-1 are brought into contact with NCoA-1 or fragments or derivatives of NCoA-1 having the ability to bind STAT6 under conditions where STAT6 and NCoA-1 or said fragments or derivatives are capable of forming a complex, and said complex can be used to induce a measurable readout; b) a readout is measured in the absence or presence of the substance of interest; c) the readout in absence of substance of interest is compared with readout in presence of substance of interest.
