Abstract: An oligonucleotide useful for detection of an RNA derived from HIV-1 consisting of at least 10 consecutive bases in any of SEQ ID NOS:1, 2, 4 to 10 and 13 to 17, which can bind to a specific site of the RNA.

Abstract: A simple and accurate method for assay of a single-stranded RNA containing a specific nucleic acids sequence in a sample at almost constant temperature by using at least the following reagents (A) to (I), which comprises a step of adding the reagents (A) to (I) one by one (in any order), in combinations of at least two or all at once and a step of measuring a fluorescent signal in the presence of the reagent (I) at least once after addition of at least the reagents (A) to (H); (A) a first single-stranded oligonucleic acid complementary to a sequence neighboring the 5? end of the specific nucleic acids sequence in the single-stranded RNA, (B) a second single-stranded oligo DNA complementary to a 3?-end sequence within the specific nucleic acids sequence, (C) an RNA-dependent DNA polymerase, (D) deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates, (E) a third single-stranded oligo DNA having (1) a promoter sequence for a DNA-dependent RNA polymerase, (2) an enhancer sequence for the promoter and (3) a 5?-end sequence within the

Abstract: A driving force transmission device includes a rim having a toothed outer periphery, with bottom lands being formed between respectively adjacent teeth and top lands being formed at teeth crests. Outer ribs are disposed at positions on an inner peripheral surface of the rim corresponding to the bottom lands, whereby there is neither variance in angle speed nor uneven rotation of a member driven by the transmission device. Moreover, the outer ribs are radially offset from inner ribs, whereby tensile forces generated between the outer and inner ribs and caused by material shrinkage cancel each other out and defective molding of teeth crests can be minimized. Accordingly, the radius of an imaginary circle formed by joining the top lands is uniform in a circumferential direction.

Abstract: A simple, speedy and sensitive method of detecting HIV-RNA using an oligonucleotide which can bind to an intramolecularly free region of the genomic RNA of HIV-1 at relatively low and constant temperatures (at 35° C. to 50° C., preferably at 41° C.) as an oligonucleotide primer for use in amplification of a nucleic acid.

Abstract: A photographic paper magazine, for containing a photographic paper roll of photographic paper, includes a magazine case. A support shaft is contained in the magazine case in a rotatable manner, and secured to an axis of the paper roll in a rotationally immovable manner. First and second flanges are disposed on the support shaft, for neatening end faces of the paper roll. A passageway is formed in the magazine case, for passage of the photographic paper in and out. Sixteen receiving pins are formed to project from an edge portion of the first flange toward the second flange, for defining a passage space between. The passage space allows passage of the photographic paper extending from the paper roll toward the passageway. When the support shaft is rotated in a winding direction, the sixteen receiving pins temporarily wind a portion of the photographic paper extending out of the passage space.

Abstract: An oligonucleotide for detection or amplification of a gene selected from the group consisting of Vibrio parahaemolyticus thermostable direct hemolysin-related hemolysin genes (trh1 and trh2) and Vibrio parahaemolyticus thermostable direct hemolysin gene (tdh2) or RNA derived therefrom is provided. Further, method for detecting trh1, trh2 or tdh2 using said oligonucleotide is provided.

Abstract: A photo film processor has a bath component, which contains processing liquid and processes photo film by use of the processing liquid. A processor body contains the bath component. A replenisher supply device has two cartridge holders loadable with two replenisher cartridges, which contain replenisher liquid for adjustment of the processing liquid. Two tanks store the replenisher liquid having flowed out of the replenisher cartridges. A maintenance opening is formed in the processor body. A panel is secured to the maintenance opening movably between closed and open positions. On the panel, the cartridge holders and the tanks are mounted. The panel, when in the closed position, closes the maintenance opening, and when in the open position, is positioned outside the maintenance opening, for allowing inspection and/or maintenance of the bath component.
