专利号:US-6372721-B1 优先权日:1993-12-17 标题:Method for inducing DNA synthesis in neurons 发明人:NEUMAN TOOMAS; SUDA KIKUO; NORNES HOWARD O 权利人:SPINAL CORD SOC 摘要:A method is provided for inducing DNA synthesis in differentiated neurons. According to certain embodiments of the invention, a method for inducing DNA synthesis in a differentiated neuron is provided that includes obtaining a vector comprising nucleic acid encoding an E2F regulator and/or an E1A regulator, wherein the vector can be used to express the nucleic acid in a differentiated neuron, and transfecting a differentiated neuron with the vector. According to certain embodiments of the invention, a method for integrating DNA encoding a desired protein in a differentiated neuron is provided that includes obtaining a vector comprising nucleic acid encoding an E2F regulator and/or an E1A regulator, wherein the vector can be used to express the nucleic acid in a neuron, obtaining DNA encoding a desired protein, and cotransfecting a differentiated neuron with the vector and the DNA encoding the desired protein such that the DNA encoding the desired protein is integrated in the differentiated neuron and the desired protein is produced.
专利号:US-4780406-A 优先权日:1983-10-18 标题:Flow cytometric measurement of total DNA and incorporated halodeoxyuridine 发明人:DOLBEARE FRANK A; GRAY JOE W 权利人:UNIV CALIFORNIA 摘要:A method for the simultaneous flow cytometric measurement of the total DNA content and the level of DNA synthesis in normal and malignant cells is disclosed. The sensitivity of the method allows a study of cell cycle traverse rates for large scale cell populations as well as single cell measurements. A DNA stain such as propidium iodide or Hoechst 33258 is used as the probe for the measurement of total DNA content and a monoclonal antibody reactive with a DNA precursor such as halodeoxy-uridine (HdU), more specifically bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) is used as a probe for the measurement of HdU or BrdU uptake by the cells as a measure of DNA synthesis.

The FRTL-5 cells are cultured in a medium containing approximately 5 percent calf serum supplemented with a mixture of hormones, at least one of which is thyrotropin. n The FRTL-5 cells are employed in a series of assays which measure thyroid stimulatory or inhibitory factors. The FRTL-5 system of assay specifically measures thymidine incorporation, cAMP elevation and iodide uptake and permits the evaluation of patient sera, particularly those afflicted with Graves' disease and other autoimmune thyroid diseases, thereby providing a means for determining appropriate methods of treatment.
专利号:US-5554359-A 优先权日:1989-12-15 标 题:Pigmentation enhancer and method 发明人:FULLER BRYAN B 权利人:UNIV OKLAHOMA 摘要:A composition comprising a lysosomotropic agent, and optionally phosphodiesterase inhibitors, and/or methylxanthines for increasing synthesis of melanin in a human melanocyte thereby enhancing pigmentation of the human skin. Use of this composition promotes tanning of the human skin and increases photoprotection from ultraviolet radiation. An organ culture system comprising viable human foreskin samples which may be used to test the effects of agents on human skin, including pigmentation enhancers on human skin.
