Abstract: Methods and compositions for the treatment of the symptoms of a patient who has a pulmonary condition associated with an inhibition of surfactant secretion by type II alveolar cells are described. The method of treatment involves causing a patient to inhale an amount of a pH-raising buffer effective to raise the pH of the aqueous fluid in the microenvironment of the type II alveolar cell lumenal surface, thereby inducing an increase in the rate of surfactant secretion by type II alveolar cells.

Abstract: The invention features a method for diagnosis of pancreatitis by detecting an elevation in the amount of GP2 pancreatic glycoprotein in a sample of bodily fluid such as human blood, serum, or urine. The invention also features isolated DNA encoding human GP2, a method for producing recombinant human GP2, antibodies which specifically bind to human GP2, a method for producing anti-human GP2 antibodies, and a kit for use in the diagnosis of pancreatitis.

Abstract: A method for preparing a ds DNA from a ss DNA template, which method includes:(a) providing a first DNA strand;(b) adding a homopolymeric oligonucleotide tail to the 3' end of the first DNA strand, to yield a tailed first DNA strand;(c) providing a ss homopolymeric oligonucleotide primer complementary to a portion of the tail;(d) contacting the primer with the tailed first DNA strand;(e) synthesizing, in the presence of the primer and the tailed first DNA strand, a second DNA strand complementary to the first DNA strand; and(f) removing the tail and the primer from the first and second DNA strands, respectively; provided that one or both of the tail and the primer contain(s) RNA.
