Disclosed is a novel means capable of detecting with sufficiently high accuracy only monocytogenes bacteria by distinguishing the monocytogenes bacteria from other Listeria species. The present inventors keenly analyzed the genome of monocytogenes bacteria and identified two genes (lmo0084 gene, lmo2736 gene) as a target region which can specifically detect monocytogenes by using the nucleic acid amplification method to distinguish the monocytogenes bacteria from other Listeria species. Furthermore, the present inventors more keenly investigated the base sequences of these two genes, identified a primer setting region which specifically detects only monocytogenes bacteria with high accuracy, and thereby established specific examples for a preferable PCR primer set, a LAMP primer set, and a primer/probe set for real-time PCR.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a dusting-flour mix to be used for deep-fried food which does not scatter in a step for coating a food material therewith and in which the formation of undissolved lumps can be suppressed. To solve this problem, provided is a dusting-flour mix comprising 14-99.9 mass% of pregelatinized starch and/or pregelatinized starch with 0.1-86 mass% of an anti-scattering agent, wherein the anti-scattering agent comprises 0-86 mass%, relative to the dusting-flour mix, of wheat flour and/or 0-2.8 mass%, relative to the dusting-flour mix, of a fat or oil.

COMPOSITION CONTAINING OLEANANE TYPE TRITERPENE AS ACTIVE INGREDIENT, FOR ENHANCING KNEE-JOINT-FUNCTION IMPROVING EFFECTS AND SKELETAL-MUSCLE-FUNCTION REINFORCING EFFECTS OBTAINED THROUGH RESISTANCE TRAINING WITHOUT USING TRAINING APPARATUS
The present invention addresses the problem of providing a composition for enhancing: knee-joint-function improving effects obtained through resistance training without using a training apparatus; and skeletal-muscle-function reinforcement obtained through resistance training without using a training apparatus. In order to solve the abovementioned problem, the composition contains an oleanane type triterpene as an active ingredient.
Disclosed is a novel means enabling the mass-production of highly safe fibrinogens at a low cost. A transgenic silkworm according to the present invention expresses the Aα chain, Bβ chain and γ chain subunits of a fibrinogen in silk gland cells and produces fibrinogens that exhibit a coagulatory activity in silk. Preferably, the transgenic silkworm expresses the subunits in middle silk gland cells, and produces the fibrinogen in the sericin layer of the silk. It is possible to mass-produce highly-safe fibrinogens at a low cost by recovering the fibrinogens from a transgenic silkworm according to the present invention.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a food product manufactured using such a cereal flour raw material. The present invention provides a cereal flour composition that contains wheat flour prepared from a type of wheat that does not express any two of the three wheat starch synthase II proteins, and also does not express the three wheat granule bound starch synthase proteins, and another type of cereal flour; and a food product manufactured using such a cereal flour composition.
Analysis is made on the structure of a sugar chain in a glycoprotein produced by a transgenic silkworm to examine the structure of the sugar chain in the glycoprotein. The transgenic silkworm can produce a glycoprotein having a sugar chain in which fucose is not bound to N-acetylglucosamine that is a reducing terminal of the sugar chain. By additionally integrating GalT gene into the transgenic silkworm, a glycoprotein having an almost completely humanized sugar chain structure can be produced.

GENE INVOLVED IN OCCURRENCE/RECURRENCE OF HCV-POSITIVE HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA
A method for screening a gene involved in the premature recurrence of HCV-positive hepatocellular carcinoma accompanied by chronic hepatitis, the method comprises the steps of determining the expression amount of every gene at a non-cancerate site in each of a patient with premature recurrence of HCV-positive hepatocellular carcinoma accompanied by chronic hepatitis and a patient with delayed recurrence of the carcinoma, and selecting a gene whose expression is increased in a patient with premature recurrence of the carcinoma compared to that in a patient with delayed recurrence of the carcinoma. The method can provide a gene involved in the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma.
