72 results about "Initiation factor" patented technology

Initiation factors are proteins that bind to the small subunit of the ribosome during the initiation of translation, a part of protein biosynthesis. Initiation factors can interact with repressors to slow down or prevent translation or they can interact with activators to help them start or increase the rate of translation. In bacteria they are simply called Ifs (i.e.., IF1, IF2, & IF3) and in eukaryotes they are known as eIFs (i.e.., eIF1, eIF2, eIF3). In eukaryotic transcription these are also called the general transcription factors, or σ factors...

DNA encoding apoptosis-induced eucaryotic initiation factor-5A and deoxyhypusine synthase and a method for controlling apoptosis in animals and humans

Genes encoding an apoptosis-induced eukaryotic initiation Factor-5A (eIF-5A) and an apoptosis-induced deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS), whose expressions are induced by the onset of apoptosis, are identified. The DHS gene and the eIF-5A gene, alone or in combination, as well as inhibitors of the DHS reaction, are used to modulate apoptosis in animals and humans. For example, modulation of apoptosis in cells of animals and humans is achieved by introduction of a gene or gene fragment encoding apoptosis-induced eIF-5A, apoptosis-induced DHS, or both into the animal or human cell in antisense orientation.

The invention discloses a method for detecting an activated blood coagulation factor XI in human intravenous immunoglobulin. The method comprises the steps as follows: (1) mixing an IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin) sample with specially-preprocessed platelet-poor plasma (PPP); (2) adding a thrombin specific fluorogenic substrate with a phospholipid agent into a reaction system; (3) adding an initiation factor for starting a TGT (thrombin generation test), wherein the initiation factor comprises a calcium ion source and the phospholipid agent; (4) obtaining a thrombin generation curve providing parameters by the optimized reaction system; and (5) negatively correlating the peak time of thrombin (TTP) of the detected sample with the FXIa (activated blood coagulation factor XI) level in the sample. The FXIa level in the detected sample can be indirectly obtained by comparing the TTP of the detected sample with that of an FXIa standard sample. The method is suitable for detecting residual micro FXIa in human intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) products and is used for extracorporal evaluation of thrombosis risk of related products.
