Abstract: A method for detecting electromagnetic waves derived from bacterial DNA, comprising extracting and purifying nucleic acids from a sample; diluting the extracted purified nucleic acids in an aqueous solvent; measuring a low frequency electromagnetic emission over time from the diluted extracted purified nucleic acids in an aqueous solvent; performing a signal analysis of the low frequency electromagnetic emission over time; and producing an output, based on the signal analysis, in dependence on the DNA in the sample. The DNA may be extracted from at least one of blood, feces, urine, saliva, tears, seminal fluid, sweat, seminal and vaginal fluids of a patient, or water to determine, e.g., potability. The samples may be frozen. The extracting and purifying may comprise diluting the sample with an aqueous buffer and mixing; degrading proteins in the diluted sample; precipitating DNA from the buffer solution; and resuspending the precipitated DNA in an aqueous solution.

Abstract: A method for characterizing a biologically active biochemical element in a sample by prefiltering the sample and analyzing low frequency electromagnetic signals transmitted by the prefiltered solution. The prefiltering may be through a 150 nm or less filter. The prefiltering may be subsequent to a dilution, e.g., between 10?2 and 10?20 in water. The filtered sample may be stirred and/or centrifuged. During the analyzing, the solution may be excited using white noise. The analyzing may comprise comparing a signature with previously recorded signatures.

Abstract: The inventors have isolated cloned cDNA encoding the RNA genome of Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1). Various clones are described, which encode different regions of the genome, including those regions encoding viral antigens or proteins. Hybridization results indicate the difference between the HIV-1 clones and those of HTLV-I and HTLV-II. The inventors have also produced a restriction map of the entire cloned genomic sequence in order to facilitate further subcloning and using the restriction fragments in other hybridization tests and in methods to express encoded sequences.

Abstract: Four glycoproteins of apparent molecular weights 300,000, 140,000, 125,000, and 36,000 (gp300, gp140, gp125, and gp36) are detectable in human immunodeficiency virus type 2 (HIV-2) infected cells. The gp125 and gp36 are the external and transmembrane components, respectively, of the envelope glycoproteins of HIV-2 mature virions. The gp300, which is a dimeric form of gp140, the precursor of HIV-2 envelope glycoprotein, is probably formed by a pH dependent fusion in the endoplasmic reticulum. Such a doublet is also observed in cells infected with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a virus closely related to HIV-2. On the other hand, the envelope glycoprotein precursor of HIV-1 does not form a dimer during its processing. Experiments carried out with various inhibitors of oligosaccharide trimming enzymes suggest that transient dimerization of the glycoprotein precursor is required for its efficient transport to the Golgi apparatus and for its processing.
