Abstract: Immunoassays to detect the presence of Bcl-2 family heterodimeric complexes are described. The immunoassays are designed to detect one or more of BIM-Bcl-2, BIM-Bcl-xL, BIM-Mcl-1 and BAX-BAK heterodimers. The assays can be used, for example, to select a BH3 mimetic, or other drug targeting the apoptosis pathway, that is effective for treating a specific cancer, or to select a subject who is likely to respond to a particular BH3 mimetic.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to recombinant genetic technology. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for use in selection and isolation of nucleic acid molecules. The invention further relates to methods for the preparation of individual nucleic acid molecules and populations of nucleic acid molecules, as well as nucleic acid molecules produced by these methods. The invention also relates to screening and/or selection methods for identifying and/or isolating nucleic acid molecules which have one or more common features (e.g., characteristics, activities, etc) and populations of nucleic acid molecules which share one or more features.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to recombinant DNA technology. The invention relates more specifically to compositions and methods for recombinational cloning of nucleic acid molecules using recombination systems. In particular, the invention relates to compositions comprising one or more Fis proteins and one or more additional components used for recombinational cloning (such as one or more recombination proteins). The invention further relates to the use of the above compositions in methods of recombinational cloning of nucleic acid molecules. The invention also relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules produced by methods of the invention, to vectors comprising such nucleic acid molecules, and to host cells comprising such nucleic acid molecules and vectors.
