Abstract: The invention relates to novel insulin analogs having a basal time-action profile, which are characterized by the following features: a) the B chain end consists of an amidated basic amino acid residue such as lysine or arginine amide; b) the N-terminal amino acid residue of the insulin A chain is a lysine or arginine radical; c) the amino acid position A8 is occupied by a histidine radical; d) the amino acid position A21 is occupied by a glycine radical; and e) one or more substitutions and/or additions of negatively charged amino acid residues are carried out in the positions A5, A15, A18, B-1, B0, B1, B2, B3 and B4.

Abstract: The invention relates to novel insulin analogs having a basal time-action profile, which are characterized by the addition and/or substitution of negatively and positively charged amino acid residues and by an amidation of the C-terminal carboxy group of the B chain and histidine in position 8 of the insulin A chain. The invention also relates to the production and use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting and determining mediators and/or their derivatives in fluids, the mediator being detected directly or indirectly with the aid of a recombinant, soluble receptor for the mediator to be detected.

Abstract: The use of the IL-4 receptor for the therapy, prophylaxis and diagnosis of allergic, viral, parasitic and bacterial diseases and of fungal infections. The invention relates to the use of the IL-4 receptor or of derivatives thereof for the therapy, prophylaxis and diagnosis of allergic, viral, parasitic and bacterial diseases and of fungal infections.

Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies with specificity for membrane-associated antigens and methods of using them in detection of tumor-associated antigens arc described.

Abstract: The IL-4 receptor for the therapy, prophylaxis and diagnosis of allergic, viral, parasitic and bacterial diseases and of fungal infections. The invention relates to the il-4 receptor or variants thereof for the therapy, prophylaxis and diagnosis of allergic, viral, parasitic and bacterial diseases and of fungal infections.

Abstract: The invention relates to magnetic protein conjugates of the formula I ##STR1## in which M represents a dispersible magnetically reacting material or particle which carries aminogroups, Ig represents a protein which carries one or more mercapto groups, and X represents an organic chemical structure which links the two ligands by chemical means, to a process for the preparation of protein conjugates of the formula I, and to the use of conjugates of this type for removing cells or soluble bioorganic molecules or components from aqueous salt solutions or body fluids, and to the use thereof within the framework of a diagnostic method or as a diagnostic aid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition containing the p40 subunit of interleukin-12, hereinafter referred to as p40/IL-12 and to methods of diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with disregulation of the immune system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a compound of the formula ##STR1## and to a process for its isolation from plants of the family comprising the meliaceae. The compound has, in particular, immunosuppressive properties, and can therefore be used as a medicament.
