CONT

In English law, a promise is not, as a general rule, binding as a contract unless it is either made under seal or supported by some "consideration". The purpose of the doctrine of consideration is to put some legal limit on the enforceability of agreements even where they are intended to be legally binding and are not vitiated by some factor such as mistake, misrepresentation, duress or illegality.... The present position therefore is that English law limits the enforceability of agreements not under seal by reference to a complex and multifarious body of rules known as "the doctrine of consideration. "(Chitty on Contracts, 26th ed., 1989, Vol I, pp. 105-106).

Subject field(s)
  • Cytology
CONT

The primary interest of this laboratory is in the mechanism of cell transformation and oncogenicity of receptor protein tyrosine kinases(RPTKs). Currently, we are studying the ros oncogene, originally discovered in an avian sarcoma virus, human insulin receptor(IR) and human insulin-like growth factor I receptor(IGFR). Molecular basis for the oncogenic activation as well as signalling transduction pathways responsible for normal and oncogenic functions of those receptor PTKs are being explored. Regulation and intervention of those oncogenic RPTKs by potential suppressor "anti-oncogene" such as protein tyrosine phosphatase(PTPase) and dominant-negative mutants of downstream signalling molecules are being inquired. Finally, potential role of those and other RPTKs in the development and progression of human malignancy, particularly breast cancer, are also being examined.

Subject field(s)
  • Biotechnology
CONT

Invasion and angiogenesis are the newest therapeutic targets to yield agents for phase I clinical trials. Three general strategies for anti-invasive/anti-angiogenic therapy have been proposed :(1) inhibition of the production of stimulatory factors by tumor cells,(2) blockade of invasive activity, and(3) interdiction of the signal directing the proliferative or invasive command. Growth factor antagonists, such as suramin, tyrphostins, 78, 79 and signal transduction inhibitors such as CAI(see below) and protein kinase C(PKC) inhibitors are all in clinical development.

Les tumeurs cancéreuses solides ne peuvent se développer sans «recruter» de nouveaux vaisseaux sanguins et ce processus d'angiogénèse est responsable d'un problème majeur dans le traitement des cancers: la résistance acquise aux médicaments. Une étude expérimentale conforte des espoirs suscités depuis quelques temps par la thérapie angiogénique. En traitant des souris atteintes de divers cancers par un inhibiteur spécifique de l'angiogenèse, l'endostatine, on peut véritablement «endormir» les tumeurs de façon prolongée.

Decay accelerating factor(DAF) and CR1 inhibit the association between C3b and B, and promote dissociation of the C3bBb complex. CR1 and membrane cofactor protein(MCP) promote Factor I mediated cleavage of C3b. These molecules control the interactions between C4b and C2 similarly.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Sang
CONT

Les «membranes cofactor proteins» (MCP) ou gp 45,70 : ces protéines constituent un nouveau groupe de protéines régulatrices fixant le C3b, elles sont présentes sur un grand nombre de cellules, mais, à la différence du DAF, elles sont absentes des hématies. Elles fixent le C3b et le C4b, ont une fonction cofacteur du I, favorisent l'inactivation du C3b et du C4b, sans toutefois dissocier les convertases. Elles jouent donc un rôle complémentaire à celui du DAF.
