  • Nucleotide sequence encoding a modulator of NF-kappaB
    Publication number: 20030228667
    Abstract: The present invention relates to nucleotide sequences encoding a modulator of NF-&kgr;B, and to the polypeptides encoded by the nucleotide sequences. In particular, the invention relates to nucleotide sequences and the polypeptides encoded thereby, wherein the polypeptides are involved in the response to NF-&kgr;B-activating stimuli, including HTLV-1 Tax, LPS, PMA and IL-1. The invention also relates to antibodies to the modulator of NF-&kgr;B, methods of detecting modulator of NF-&kgr;B using the antibodies, methods of treatment associated with NF-&kgr;B activation and to methods of identifying compounds which modulate the activity of the modulator of NF-&kgr;B.
    Type: Application

  • Method and a device for detecting changes in a surface state and for monitoring the surface state
    Patent number: 4916317
    Abstract: A method of detecting changes in a surface state and of monitoring said surface state, in particular for a body whose surface is at a given temperature and is in contact with a flowing liquid at a given temperature which may optionally be different from the temperature of said surface, wherein a reference metal body is placed in said liquid, said body having a surface at a temperature which is adjustable independently of the temperature of said liquid, and said body acting as an electrode which is optionally raised to an adjustable potential, and the surface state of said body is detected by measuring the intensity of light radiation reflected from at least one mirror-forming portion of the surface of the reference body.
