Title: Detection de sequences d'acide nucleique au moyen de sondes d'amplification
Inventor: ALBAGLI DAVID
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1995-12-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés et des compositions servant à détecter des séquences d'acide nucléique. On utilise, en particulier, des paires de sondes, la paire définissant une séquence sensiblement contiguë sur un acide nucléique cible. Chacune des paires possède une chaîne latérale constituant une souche des deux chaînes latérales qui réalise une liaison non covalente et est capable de créer une réticulation sous l'effet d'une activation, quand les sondes et l'échantillon d'acide nucléique présentent un appariement de bases. La réticulation des souches est inhibée quand elles ne possèdent pas de liaison avec un ADN complémentaire. Chacun des acides nucléiques est présent initialement en tant qu'acide nucléique monocaténaire permettant l'appariement des bases, de sorte que les sondes se fixent à l'acide nucléique cible homologue. On active le mélange de détection afin de produire une réticulation, on réalise la fusion de l'acide nucléique bicaténaire et on répète le processus d'appariement des bases, d'activation et de fusion pendant un nombre de cycles suffisant afin d'obtenir une quantité détectable de sondes réticulées. Afin d'inhiber une réticulation d'arrière-plan, les chaînes latérales peuvent déclencher la formation de duplex, où une partie de la chaîne latérale se fixe à une partie différente de la chaîne latérale ou à la partie de la sonde homologue de la cible. L'invention concerne également des kits comprenant des réactifs, ainsi que des dispositifs automatiques, afin de mettre ce procédé en application.

Abstract: Disclosed is an adsorbent for activated TGF-β1 comprising, as the active ingredient, an OH-carbonated hydroxyapatite to be obtained by partly or wholly substituting the OH groups in hydroxyapatite with CO 3  groups. The adsorbent thus selectively adsorbs activated TGF-β1. A fluid containing activated TGF-β1 is brought into contact with the absorbent to make the activated TGF-β1 selectively adsorbed by the adsorbent, then the thus-adsorbed, activated TGF-β1 is eluted with a buffer, and the concentration of the activated TGF-β1 in the fluid is determined. According to this detecting method, even a minor amount of activated TGF-β1 in a sample can be detected. The adsorbent is applicable to detection of cancer, by which the concentration of activated TGF-β1 in a body fluid sample can be directly determined.

Abstract: A two-way differential clutch having sprags (17). It includes a mechanism (30) that permits the sprags to be inclined instantly in the opposite direction when the rotating direction of an input gear (7) changes over. Two cages (10,11) having different diameters are mounted between the cylindrical inner surface (9) of an input gear and the cylindrical outer surface (8) of a rotary shaft (4). The large-diameter cage is fixed to the input gear while the small-diameter cage is rotatably mounted on the rotary shaft. Sprags are received in pockets (15,16) formed in both cages. A friction plate (21) is rotatably mounted on the small-diameter cage near its end. It is pressed by a resilient member (22) against a flange (23) of the small-diameter cage. The friction plate is nonrotatably coupled to a gear case (1) through a rotation stopper. With this arrangement, it is possible to create a large rotating speed difference between the large-diameter cage and the small-diameter cage when the rotating direction of the input gear changes over. Thus, the sprags can be instantly inclined in the opposite direction.

Abstract: A face seal is provided for a rotating shaft for sealing between a normally high pressure region and a normally lower pressure region, having a seal ring shaped to form a gap between the ring and a runner surface on the shaft, which gap converges in the direction of fluid flow and deliberately creates turbulent flow along the seal gap and sufficient clearance between the rotating runner and the seal ring to accommodate distortions in the seal ring which may occur over its lifetime. A servo system is coupled to the seal ring which moves the seal ring away from the runner during low pressure differences between the regions and which restores the sealing function along the seal gap when the pressure difference between the regions increases sufficiently.

Abstract: An elevator governor rope brake assembly for slowing governor rope movement upon the occurrence of unintended movement of an elevator cab. The assembly comprising a governor sheave (118) over which a governor rope (106) passes, with a pivotally mounted brake (114) disposed about its outer circumference on a pivot arm (130) for slowing the governor rope movement. The pivotally mounted brake is capable of pivoting along clockwise and counter-clockwise arcuate paths (120,121), each of the arcuate paths intersecting the outer circumfererice of the governor sheave at symmetrical locations at an angle sufficient for the pivotally mounted brake to engage the governor rope with sufficient force to slow the governor rope movement. Spring loaded releasing detents (112) are used for initially positioning the pivotally mounted brake vertically. Flyweights (124) on the governor sheave actuate the detents and release the pivotally mounted brake from the initial vertical position upon the occurrence of unintended movement of the elevator cab. The flyweights also provide a force to the pivotally mounted brake in a direction consistent with the governor rope's movement, thereby urging the pivotally mounted brake to arc in the desired braking direction.
