  • heat inducible promoters and their use
    Patent number: 7723506
    Abstract: A method characterizes samples having units by monitoring fluctuating intensities of radiation emitted, scattered, and/or reflected by the units in at least one measurement volume, the monitoring being performed by at least one detection device, the method comprising the steps of: a) measuring in a repetitive mode a number of photon counts per time interval of defined length, b) determining a function of the number of photon counts per the time interval, and c) determining a function of specific brightness of the units on basis of the function of the number of photon counts.

  • Tetrahymena Heat Inducible Promoters and Their Use
    Publication number: 20080261290
    Abstract: The present invention relates to heat-inducible promoters of the heat shock protein family of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, especially a promoter having the nucleotide sequence of Seq. ID No. 1 or promoter-effective fragments thereof. Furthermore the use of heat-inducible promoters of the present invention for the expression of homologous and/or heterologous proteins in the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila is claimed.
