  • Publication number: 20230190958
    Abstract: The present invention provides a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector for treating a blood coagulation-related disease to provide a novel gene therapy means for hemophilia. The virus vector comprises a virus genome comprising a liver-specific promoter sequence and a polynucleotide sequence encoding a genome editing means operably linked to the promoter sequence, wherein the genome editing means is (a) a means comprising CRISPR/Cas9 composed of a Cas9 protein and a guide RNA (gRNA) and a repair gene, or (b) a means comprising CRISPR/Cas9 composed of a Cas9 protein and a gRNA, and the gRNA comprises a nucleotide region complementary to a part of a region related to expression of a disease-related protein on the genome of a patient and a region that interacts with the Cas9 protein.

  • Patent number: 7087396
    Abstract: A method for determining a soluble human ST2 in a sample conveniently at a high sensitivity and an assay kit are provided. By an immunological method comprising a step for bringing a sample into contact with an immobilized antibody formed by binding to an insoluble support a first anti-human ST2 antibody which binds specifically to a non-denatured human ST2, a step for labelling a first reaction product generated in the previous step by reacting said first reaction product with a second anti-human ST2 antibody which binds specifically to a non-denatured human ST2 by recognizing a site different from the site on ST2 where said first anti-human ST2 antibody binds and which is labelled with a label, and a step for determining the amount of the label on said first reaction product which has been labelled, a soluble human ST2 in a sample is determined. In addition, a recombinant ST2 is employed as a standard to prepare a calibration curve, based on which the ST2 in a sample is quantified.
