  • Publication number: 20070098728
    Abstract: This invention is in the field of cancer-associated (CA) genes. Specifically it relates to methods for detecting and diagnosing cancer or the likelihood of developing cancer based on the presence or absence of expression of PI3KR1, GNAS, NESP5, JAK1, neurogranin, HIPK1, or Nrf2, or proteins encoded by those genes. The invention also provides methods and molecules for upregulating or downregulating these cancer-associated genes.

  • Publication number: 20060084791
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a purified polypeptide, which is capable of mediating infection of a cell, by use of the polytropicixenotropic receptor encoded by the Rmc1 locus from a NIH Swiss inbred NFS/N mouse for entry, and unable of mediating infection of a cell by use of a human polytropic/xenotropic receptor encoded by the human RMC1 locus. The present invention especially relates to an envelope protein from the Murine leukaemia Virus (MLV) strain SL3-2, which is capable of infecting murine cells through usega of the polytropic receptor encoded by the Rruc1 locus, but lacks the ability of infecting human cells expressing the corresponding xenotropic receptor encoded by the RMC locus. The present invention furthermore demonstrate that replacements of at least one specified amino acid in the polypeptide can alter the tropism and enable the SL3-2 envelope to infect a human cell by use of the human polytropic/xenotropic receptor encoded by the RMC1 locus for entry.

  • Patent number: 5255677
    Abstract: A disposable electrode for use in electromyography and/or nerve conduction velocity testing has a tab for connection to a cable connector and is laminated of a plurality of layers including first and second outer layers. The first layer is a backing member with exposed adhesive, a hydrogel layer intermediate the outer layers and a conductive foil layer between the hydrogel layer and the second outer layer. The electrode may be a disc electrode, a ground electrode or an elongated flexible digital ring electrode. The disc electrode includes two identical disc electrode elements having circular portions separably joined to each other at a central portion and the tab of each element is remote from the central portion. A kit contains a plurality of disposable electrodes packaged in a blister pack, the packaged electrodes including a plurality of such disc electrodes, a plurality of such ground electrodes and a plurality of such elongated flexible digital ring electrodes.
