Abstract: The disclosure concerns a method and a device for enriching cells, cell fragments and molecules from whole blood for a specific detection of at least one population of cells, cell fragments or molecules contained therein. The task was to detect a broad spectrum of target objects including their molecules simply, quickly and yet sensitively and specifically from whole blood. According to the disclosure, not the target objects themselves, but matrix objects are specifically enriched, but target objects are specifically analyzed and thus a specific and sensitive detection of target objects is achieved.

Abstract: Biologically active nucleotide molecules are configured, with the nucleotide sequence thereof, to be able to trigger several, in particular a plurality of “off-target” effects to cause cell-killing stress by means of binding of same, by means of which off-target effects cells are so massively influenced that the cells die off or programmed cell death (apoptosis) is induced in the cells.

Abstract: Cell-specifically active nucleotide molecules and application kit for the use thereof. The problem to be solved was to modify long molecules in such a way that, by chemical modifications, their biological function is reliably inactivated and can be completely reactivated in a cell-specific manner. According to the invention several peptides or polymers are bound to nucleotide molecules in such a way that theft spatial structure is modified to to such a degree that their biological function is no longer ensured or that molecules which normally anneal to the nucleic acids can no longer access the nucleic acids. Said molecules are used in particular for cell-specifically influencing cells by introduction of nucleic acids.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to effectively inhibit virus-, bacteria-, or parasite-infected cells and tumor cells in a targeted manner, even in the case of mutations. According to the invention, biologically active molecules are administered, said biologically active molecules including at least one protease inhibitor for at least one specific target protease of the virus-, bacteria-, or parasite-infected cells and/or tumor cells and at least one peptide-inhibited siRNA, PNA or RNA, the peptide bond of which is broken by the at least one target protease for the purpose of activating the peptide-inhibited siRNA, PNA or RNA. The molecules are used, for example, to influence the gene expression of diseased and infected organs or cells.

Abstract: Nucleotide molecules are used for the targeted killing of cells, which bind with a nucleotide sequence to a single region of the mRNA which, according to sequencing analyses, is statistically very rarely subject to a mutation and, thus, also in case of increased mutation rates in the whole genome, reliably kills the cell without further mRNA binding or other influence on the cell being necessary.

Abstract: Biologically active molecules are inactivated for selective activation by target cells by being covalently bonded to one or more peptides each of which has one or more specific amino acid sequences that are selected in respect of enzymes cell-specific for target cells. The bonds, which are broken exclusively by the enzymes cell-specific for the target cells in order to biologically activate the molecules, allow the molecules to remain biologically inactive in cells other than the target cells. The molecules are used for influencing gene expression of preferably sick and infected organs or cells, for example.

Abstract: A biologically inactivated cell-specifically effective molecule for biologically inactive transfection into a target cell to inhibit expression of genes in the target cell after biological activation of the molecule, by bonding to mRNA and with the formation of a RISC complex, the biologically inactivated cell-specifically effective molecule comprising siRNA coupled with at least one peptide via a linker which remains at the siRNA after biological activation of the molecule, the linker comprising an amino Cn linker wherein n is an integer of 1-6. Kits include the molecule or the constituents thereof and transfection reagents in ampoules and injection equipment for injecting mixtures of the ampoule contents into a medium containing a target cell.
