Abstract: Novel carbosilane dendrimers, their preparation and their uses. The dendrimers of the invention have secondary, tertiary and quaternary amino groups at their branch ends. Their possible uses include vehicles for carrying anionic-charged molecules in the blood, such as nucleic acids, among them ODN and RNAi, and other anionic drugs with which they have the capacity of interacting, protecting them from interaction with plasma protein and/or increasing their penetration rate in target cells. In the cases where the bond is long-lasting, the dendrimers of the invention can be used to fix anionic molecules to surfaces. Their uses also include their administration as active ingredients to prevent or treat diseases caused by micro-organisms with whose structure and/or life cycle they interfere.

Abstract: Process for the detection and quantification in-vitro of HIV DNA by quantitative PCR. The invention consists of developing pairs of oligonucleotides capable of hybridizing with fragments of the gag gene sequence present in the genome of the HIV virus. These oligonucleotides permit amplification of the viral DNA by quantitative PCR. Even in the case of samples with low viral load, the invention permits detection of the HIV DNA virus by juxtaposition either of a conventional PCR with a quantitative PCR, or with a double nested quantitative PCR, using different pairs of primers in each amplification. The invention, compared with the known methods, allows determining qualitatively and quantitatively, in-vitro, the presence of HIV DNA in samples, in a rapid, reproducible manner and with high sensitivity.
