Patent No. 5453361

Method for producing biologically active human brain derived neurotrophic factor (Yancopoulos, et al., Sep 26, 1995)

Abstract

The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), as well as BDNF protein produced in quantity using these nucleic acid sequences, as well as fragments and derivatives thereof. In addition, the invention relates to pharmacologic compositions and therapeutic uses of BDNF, having provided, for the first time, the means to generate sufficient quantities of substantially pure BDNF for clinical use. The invention also relates to antibodies directed toward BDNF or fragments thereof, having provided a method for generating sufficient immunogen. Further, by permitting a comparison of the nucleic acid sequences of BDNF and NGF, the present invention provides for the identification of homologous regions of nucleic acid sequence between BDNF and NGF, thereby defining a BDNF/NGF gene family; the invention provides a method for identifying and isolating additional members of this gene family.

Notes:

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to nucleic acid sequences encoding brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), to the substantially pure protein, peptide fragments or derivatives produced in quantity therefrom, and to antibodies directed toward BDNF protein, peptide fragments, or derivatives. The present invention makes available, for the first time, sufficient quantities of BDNF to enable anti-BDNF antibody production and to support diagnostic and therapeutic applications of BDNF.

In various embodiments of the invention, the BDNF nucleic acids, proteins, peptides, derivatives, or antibodies of the invention may be utilized in methods for the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of neurologic diseases and disorders, and, in particular, in the diagnosis and treatment of sensory neuron disorders and retinal degeneration. Furthermore, in specific embodiments of the invention, BDNF nucleic acids or BDNF gene products may be used in the diagnosis and treatment of neuroblastoma tumor, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. BDNF gene products may also be used to facilitate incorporation of implants into nervous tissue or, alternatively, to promote nerve regeneration following damage by trauma, infarction, infection, or post-operatively, in additional specific embodiments of the invention.

The invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising effective amounts of BDNF gene products or, alternatively, antibodies directed toward BDNF gene products, which may be utilized in the diagnosis or treatment of a variety of neurological diseases and disorders.

In addition, by providing the full nucleotide sequence of BDNF, the present invention allows for the comparison of BDNF and NGF genes, thereby identifying homologous regions and defining a BDNF/NGF gene family. Accordingly, the present invention relates to a method for identifying additional members of the BDNF/NGF gene family. In a specific embodiment, the method of the invention is used to identify a novel, non-NGF, non-BDNF member of the BDNF/NGF gene family. The invention further provides for additional members of the BDNF/NGF gene family identified according to the disclosed method and to their gene products.

Patent No. 6536440 Method and system for generating sensory data onto the human neural cortex

  Patent No. 6536440 Assignee: Sony Corporation (Tokyo, JP); Sony Electronics, Inc. (Park Ridge, NJ) Method and system for generating sensory data onto the human neural cortex (Dawson, Mar 25, 2003) Abstract A non-invasive system and process for projecting sensory data onto the human neural cortex is provided. The system includes a primary transducer array and a secondary transducer array. The primary transducer array acts as a coherent signal source, and the secondary transducer array acts as a controllable diffraction pattern that focuses energy onto the neural cortex in a desired pattern. In addition, the pattern of energy is constructed such that each portion projected into the neural cortex may be individually pulsed at low frequency. This low frequency pulsing is formed by controlling the phase differences between the emitted energy of the elements of primary and secondary transducer arrays. Notes:   Method ...

Patent No. 4345220 High power microwave generator using relativistic electron beam in waveguide drift tube

Image
Patent No.  4345220   High power microwave generator using relativistic electron beam in waveguide drift tube ( Sullivan; Donald J.  (Albuquerque, NM),  February 12, 1980 )   Abstract Coherent microwave radiation is generated in and transmitted through a waveguide/drift tube by means of an injected relativistic electron beam the parameters of which, in combination with the waveguide/drift tube geometry and dimensions effect a virtual cathode oscillation condition within the waveguide/drift tube. Tuning of the device is accomplished by manipulation of the relativistic electron beam parameters and/or waveguide/drift tube physical dimensions.

This is why in most of the countries the use of such technologies, without consent of the user, is banned. Devices using...

Resonance Beings of Frequency

  FULL DOCUMENTARY Schumann Resonance This spectacular documentary uncovers for the very first time, the actual mechanisms by which mobile phone technology can cause cancer. And, how every single one of us is reacting to the biggest change in environment this planet has ever seen.  Two billion years ago life first arrived on this planet; a planet, which was filled with a natural frequency. As life slowly evolved, it did so surrounded by this frequency. and Inevitably, it began tuning in.  By the time mankind arrived on earth an incredible relationship had been struck; a relationship that science is just beginning to comprehend.  Research is showing that being exposed to this frequency is absolutely integral to us. It controls our mental and physical health, it synchronizes our circadian rhythms, and it aids our immune system and improves our sense of wellbeing. Not only are we surrounded by natural frequencies, our bodies are filled with them too. Our cells communica...
