Patent EP-1292830-A2 (EP)
Inventor: FLETCHER LAURA MARGARET
IPC: G01N21/78
Filed: 2001-06-18
Abstract: Cette invention porte sur un procédé permettant de déterminer si un composé candidat constitue un mimétique ou un antagoniste de l'insuline, comprenant les étapes suivantes: (a) on prend une cellule hôte transfectée contenant une séquence d'acide nucléique qui code une construction protéique, laquelle comprend une fraction de protéine IRAP et une fraction de protéine détectable. La fraction de protéine détectable est fusionnée avec un domaine luminal de la fraction de protéine IRAP. L'analyse de la fraction de protéine détectable est rendue possible par un premier procédé de détection permettant de la détecter lorsqu'elle se trouve à la surface de la cellule, mais pas lorsqu'elle se trouve à l'intérieur de celle-ci. Un deuxième procédé rend possible la détection de la fraction de protéine aussi bien lorsqu'elle se trouve à la surface de la cellule qu'à l'intérieur de celle-ci ; (b) on met en contact la cellule hôte transfectée avec un composé candidat ; (c) on mesure la quantité de fraction de protéine se trouvant à la surface de la cellule par le premier procédé de détection et la quantité totale de fraction de protéine détectable se trouvant aussi bien à la surface qu'à l'intérieur de la cellule par le deuxième procédé de détection; et (d) on compare la quantité de fraction de protéine détectable se trouvant à la surface de la cellule à la quantité totale de fraction de protéine détectable se trouvant à l'intérieur de celle-ci afin de mesurer l'ampleur de la translocation de la vésicule contenant le GLUT4. Selon un autre procédé, la construction protéique comprend une fraction de protéine IRAP, une première fraction de protéine détectable qui est fusionnée avec un domaine luminal de la fraction de protéine IRAP et une deuxième fraction de protéine détectable qui est fusionnée avec un domaine cytoplasmique de la fraction de protéine IRAP. L'analyse de la première fraction de protéine détectable est rendue possible par un premier procédé de détection permettant de détecter la première fraction de protéine lorsqu'elle se trouve sur la surface de la cellule, mais pas lorsqu'elle se trouve à l'intérieur de celle-ci. L'analyse de la deuxième fraction de protéine détectable est rendue possible par un deuxième procédé de détection capable de détecter la deuxième fraction de protéine lorsqu'elle se trouve à l'intérieur de la cellule. On peut mettre en oeuvre les procédés d'analyse présentés pour déterminer si un « composé candidat » est un mimétique ou un antagoniste de l'insuline. On peut mettre en application cette invention pour tester des banques de composés par criblage à haut débit automatisé.

Title: Procede et systeme d'affichage d'une image composite
Inventor: HERF MICHAEL
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système efficients d'affichage d'objets et d'animation transparents intégrés dans une fenêtre, telle qu'une page Web. Le procédé de l'invention met en oeuvre un contrôle de connexion, tel qu'un utilitaire Netscape ou un contrôle ActiveX dans le programme hôte, tel qu'un navigateur Web, ledit contrôle de connexion fournissant au moins un tampon graphique qui s'ajoute aux tampons utilisés par le programme hôte. Le contrôle de connexion peut fonctionner conformément à l'interface applicative (API) du programme hôte pour le contrôle de connexion sous lequel le tampon additionnel est utilisé pour composer un 'plan de mixage' contenant les objets et l'animation transparents avec la fenêtre du programme hôte, et lorsque la scène composée résultante est retournée aux tampons du programme hôte en tant que partie intégrante de la file d'extraction normale du programme hôte. De plus, l'API du programme hôte peut être contournée et la scène composite résultante écrite directement dans le tampon avant aux fins d'affichage sur le dispositif d'affichage. En particulier, dans une forme de réalisation, le contrôle de connexion met en oeuvre le tampon additionnel qu'il fournit dans la mémoire du système afin d'améliorer le rendu des images composites avec de nombreux pixels transparents au moyen d'une fenêtre de navigateur Web. Cette amélioration résulte tant de la lecture plus rapide des données de la mémoire du système que de la mémoire vidéo, et du nombre plus élevé d'opérations de lecture-modification-écriture là où un grand nombre de pixels transparents existe. L'amélioration résulte également de la mise en oeuvre courante, par le navigateur Web, des tampons uniquement dans la mémoire vidéo.

Title: Evaluation des affinites de liaison par stratification et planification des forces
Inventor: HENDERSON ERIC
IPC: G01Q60/00
Filed: 2001-10-10
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé qui permet d'éliminer sélectivement des objets d'une surface au moyen d'une sonde. La sonde est balayée au-dessus de la surface avec une force relative de plus en plus importante de manière à éliminer un certain nombre des objets présents sur la surface. La force nécessaire pour éliminer les objets de la surface peut être calculée à l'aide de la loi de Hook et de la constante du ressort de la sonde. Après l'élimination des objets ayant une affinité de liaison avec la surface relativement plus faible, les objets restants peuvent être récupérés, caractérisés puis utilisés pour des recherches ultérieures.

Abstract: A system and method are provided for estimating the initial level of an analyte in a sample based on an actual level observed, a time of storage of the sample, a storage temperature, and a type of container in which said sample is stored. Equations are generated for a particular analyte based on observations of actual analyte levels initially after a sample is drawn, as well as at various times thereafter. The time of storage, the temperature of storage, and the type of container are observed along with actual analyte level in each observation. The equations generated are considered useful if the estimated initial values are more accurate than the actual observed final values.

Abstract: A microplate cover assembly which is compatible with manual workstations or robotic handling systems used for high throughput screening. The cover assembly includes a cover, a pressure plate and a layer of sealing material. The cover is shaped such that when it is engaged with a microplate, the cover exerts a compressive force on the pressure plate, which in turn disperses the force in a substantially uniform manner across the layer of sealing material. The cover and pressure plate also include laterally-extending tabs which allow it to be engaged with or disengaged from a microplate in a fully automated fashion.

Abstract: In the method of the present invention, a dimethylolcarboxylic acid is
produced by reacting a trimethylolalkane and formaldehyde to prepare a cyclic
formal having a formal protecting group, followed by the oxidation of the cyclic
formal by using nitric acid as an oxidizing agent to prepare a cyclic carboxylic
acid which is then subjected to cleavage to remove the formal protecting group.
The formal protecting group protects two of the methylol groups against the
oxidation to enable the production of the dimethylolcarboxylic acid with a high
selectivity.

Inventor: ULLMAN EDWIN F
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 1995-12-22
Abstract: A method is disclosed for modifying an oligonucleotide,
which method has application to the detection of a polynucleotide
analyte. An oligonucleotide is reversibly
hybridized with a polynucleotide, for example, a
polynucleotide analyte, in the presence of a 5'-nuclease under
isothermal conditions. The polynucleotide analyte serves as a
recognition element to enable a 5'-nuclease to cleave the
oligonucleotide to provide (i) a first fragment that is
substantially non-hybridizable to the polynucleotide analyte
and (ii) a second fragment that lies 3' of the first fragment
(in the intact oligonucleotide) and is substantially
hybridizable to the polynucleotide analyte. At least a 100-fold
molar excess of the first fragment and/or the second
fragment are obtained relative to the molar amount of the
polynucleotide analyte. The presence of the first fragment
and/or the second fragment is detected, the presence thereof
indicating the presence of the polynucleotide analyte. The
method has particular application to the detection of a
polynucleotide analyte such as DNA.
Kits for conducting methods in accordance with the invention are also
disclosed.
