295 results about "Guinea pig" patented technology

The guinea pig or domestic guinea pig (Cavia porcellus), also known as cavy or domestic cavy, is a species of rodent belonging to the family Caviidae and the genus Cavia. Despite their common name, guinea pigs are not native to Guinea, nor are they biologically related to pigs, and the origin of the name is still unclear. They originated in the Andes of South America, and studies based on biochemistry and hybridization suggest they are domesticated descendants of a closely related species of cavy such as C. tschudii, and therefore do not exist naturally in the wild. They were originally domesticated as livestock, as a source of food, and continue to be.

Method and apparatus for visual neural stimulation

Existing epiretinal implants for the blind are designed to electrically stimulate large groups of surviving retinal neurons using a small number of electrodes with diameters of several hundred μm. To increase the spatial resolution of artificial sight, electrodes much smaller than those currently in use are desirable. In this study we stimulated and recorded ganglion cells in isolated pieces of rat, guinea pig, and monkey retina. We utilized micro-fabricated hexagonal arrays of 61 platinum disk electrodes with diameters between 6 and 25 μm, spaced 60 μm apart. Charge-balanced current pulses evoked one or two spikes at latencies as short as 0.2 ms, and typically only one or a few recorded ganglion cells were stimulated. Application of several synaptic blockers did not abolish the evoked responses, implying direct activation of ganglion cells. Threshold charge densities were typically below 0.1 mC / cm2 for a pulse duration of 100 μs, corresponding to charge thresholds of less than 100 pC. Stimulation remained effective after several hours and at high frequencies. To demonstrate that closely spaced electrodes can elicit independent ganglion cell responses, we utilized the multi-electrode array to stimulate several nearby ganglion cells simultaneously. From these data we conclude that electrical stimulation of mammalian retina with small-diameter electrode arrays is achievable and can provide high temporal and spatial precision at low charge densities. We review previous epiretinal stimulation studies and discuss our results in the context of 32 other publications, comparing threshold parameters and safety limits.

Modified tobacco mosaic virus particles as scaffolds for display of protein antigens for vaccine applications

Display of peptides or proteins in an ordered, repetitive array, such as on the surface of a virus-like particle, is known to induce an enhanced immune response relative to vaccination with the “free” protein antigen. The 2100 coat proteins comprising the rod-shaped capsid of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) can accommodate short peptide insertions into the primary sequence, but the display of larger protein moieties on the virion surface by genetic fusions to the capsid protein has not been possible. Since TMV lacks surface exposed residues compatible with commonly available linker chemistries, we employed a randomized library approach to introduce a reactive lysine at the externally located at the amino-terminus of the coat protein. We found that we could easily control the extent of virion conjugation and demonstrated stoichiometric biotinylation of the introduced lysine. To characterize this modular platform for the display of heterologous proteins, we bound a model antigen (streptavidin (SA)-green fluorescent protein (GFP), expressed and purified from plants) to the surface of TMV, creating a GFP-SA decorated virus particle. Rapid and quantitative determination of the level of TMV capsid decoration was accomplished by subjecting the complex to amino acid analysis and solving the family of linear equations relating the pmoles of each residue to the known amino acid composition of the complex components. We obtained a GFP-SA tetramer loading of 26%, which corresponds to display of approximately 2200 GFP moieties per intact virion. We evaluated the immunogenicity of GFP decorated virions in both mice and guinea pigs, and found augmented humoral IgG titers in both species, relative to unbound GFP-SA tetramer. In mice, we observed a detectable humoral immune response after only a single immunization with the TMV-protein complex. By demonstrating the presentation of whole proteins, this study expands the utility of TMV as a vaccine scaffold beyond that which is possible by genetic manipulation.

Application of venenum bufonis polypeptide as medicine penetration enhancer

ActiveCN110559444AImprove anti-inflammatory and analgesic abilityImprove permeabilityOrganic active ingredientsAntipyreticIn vivoAnalgesics effects
The invention discloses a new application of venenum bufonis polypeptide as medicine penetration enhancers, including bufadienolide and the like. An in vitro Franz diffusion cell and an in vivo transdermal experiment test the penetration enhancement effect of the venenum bufonis polypeptide on the bufadienolide. An LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatogram-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry) method carries out detection to discover that the penetration of six types of main bufadienolide in cavia procellus skins is increased by 36.99-91.13% after the venenum bufonis polypeptide is added. A von Frey filament stimulation method verifies that the venenum bufonis polypeptide can improve the anti-inflammatory and analgesic capability of the bufadienolide. After the venenum bufonis polypeptide is applied, 2% formalin is injected on the right rear foot of the cavia procellus, a test result indicates that the mechanical withdrawal threshold of the right rear foot of the cavia procellus added with the bufadienolide of the venenum bufonis polypeptide is obviously improved, and the mechanical withdrawal threshold is improved by 2-3 times after the formalin is injected for 30min. The venenum bufonis polypeptide can accelerate the penetration of sterene in the skin of the cavia procellus so as to enhance the anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect of the venenum bufonis polypeptide.

Application of butylphthalide in preparation of medicament for treating bronchial asthma

The invention provides novel medical application of butylphthalide, i.e. the application of the butylphthalide in the preparation of a medicament for treating the bronchial asthma. The experimental research on the spasmolysis of the butylphthalide on the isolated tracheal smooth muscle of a guinea pig and the influence of the butylphthalide on the incubation period of asthma of the guinea pig shows that the butylphthalide in the concentration range of 3.68*10-6 to 3.68*10-4g/mL has obvious spasmolysis on the tracheal smooth muscle of the guinea pig in the isolated spasticity caused by 5*10-6g/mL of acetylcholine or histamine. On the basis of continuously applying the butylphthalide to the guinea pig which is sensitive for the acetylcholine and the histamine for 10 days, a mixture of the acetylcholine and the histamine is atomized and sucked and the incubation period of asthma is observed. A result shows that 30 mg/kg and 90 mg/kg of butylphthalide has an effect of relieving the tracheospasm of the guinea pig, which is caused by the acetylcholine and the histamine. Therefore, the butylphthalide has a treatment effect on the asthma guinea pig and the treatment effect of the butylphthalide on the asthma guinea pig is related to the effect of inhibiting Ca2+ inner flow and expanded tracheal smooth muscle of the butylphthalide.
