The in vitro method comprises preparing a suspension of microbeads in a liquid suspension medium, loading the suspension of microbeads with beta 2GPI proteins in a buffer either by coupling in a passive manner in a suspension medium, or using a chemical bonding protocol, contacting the microbeads with the fluid medium in a container in a condition suitable for a fixation of bacteria on the proteins without the presence of oxidizing metal ions, separating the prepared microbeads from the suspension medium by centrifugation, evacuating the suspension medium from the container to obtain a residue with a high concentration of bacteria, and detecting, quantifying and/or identifying the bacterial residue. The microbeads are bounded by an external surface constituted by a solid polymer material able to bind proteins. The microbeads constituting the residue are washed and then contacted with a culture medium for bacterial multiplication and incubation in culture medium for a duration and at a suitable temperature. The fluid medium is sheep blood culture medium. After obtaining high concentration bacterial residue, the microbead suspension is placed in a tripticase soja broth, and then the broth is placed on the sheep blood culture medium. The bacteria is identified by gram staining and/or subculturing on a selective medium. The bacteria is quantified by reading optical density, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) meter or by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) lysate. The solid material constituting the outer surface of microbeads is a plastic material, an elastomer, and a material optionally bearing reactive groups grafted on the outer surface of the microbeads to ensure a chemical bonding with the proteins. The microbeads have a spherical form and an average diameter of 1-100000 nm, and a core made of magnetic material particles to allow their separation with respect to the suspension medium by a magnetic field. The protein microbeads is loaded in the liquid suspension medium, which contains 10 -> 6>to 100 mg of proteins and a concentration of 10 -> 5>to 10 mu g/mu l by stirring the suspension for 15-60 minutes at a temperature of 30-45[deg] C.

Title: Rna sequence-specific mediators of rna interference
Inventor: TUSCHL THOMAS
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2001-03-30
Abstract: Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces sequence-specific post-transcriptional gene silencing in many organisms by a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a Drosophila in vitro system, we demonstrate that 19-23 nt short RNA fragments are the sequence-specific mediators of RNAi. The short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) are generated by an RNase III-like processing reaction from long dsRNA. Chemically synthesized siRNA duplexes with overhanging 3' ends mediate efficient target RNA cleavage in the lysate, and the cleavage site is located near the center of the region spanned by the guiding siRNA. Furthermore, we provide evidence that the direction of dsRNA processing determines whether sense or antisense target RNA can be cleaved by the produced siRNP complex.

Title: Catalyst system and process for producing a catalyst
IPC: C08F10/00
Filed: 1987-07-21
Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment of this invention, a bis-(cyclopentadienyl)chromium(II) compound is introduced onto an activated phosphate-containing support and utilized in conjunction with an organometal cocatalyst, such as an alkylaluminum. In accordance with another embodiment of this invention, a phosphate-containing zerogel is formed by removing water from an aluminum phosphate-containing hydrogel by means of azeotropic distillation or washing with a volatile, water miscible organic compound, activated and thereafter a bis-(cyclopentadienyl)chromium(II) compound is incorporated therewith. In other embodiments of this invention, a phosphate-containing support is formed by forming aluminum phosphate from an aluminum alkoxide or from a melt, or by phosphating silica or alumina, or by forming an aluminum phosphate/silica combination. A support thus formed is activated and a bis-(cyclopentadienyl)chromium(II) compound added. Alternatively in all embodiments, the chromium and phosphate components can be added separately. The resulting catalysts are capable of giving narrow molecular weight distribution polymer because of the inherent high molecular weight of the polymer produced, and the unusual sensitivity to hydrogen, a broad spectrum of polymers can be produced so far as molecular weight is concerned. The catalyst is ideally suited for forming olefin polymers such as ethylene and ethylene copolymers in a slurry system.
