Title: Cdk4 is a target of c-myc
Inventor: HERMEKING HEIKO
IPC: C12N9/12
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: The prototypic oncogene c-MYC encodes a transcription factor, which can drive proliferation by promoting cell cycle re-entry. However, the mechanisms through which c-MYC achieves these effects have been unclear. Using serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE), we have identified the cyclin dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) gene as a transcriptional target of c-MYC. c-MYC induced a rapid increase in CDK4 mRNA levels through four highly conserved c-Myc binding sites (MBS) within the CDK4 promoter. Cell cycle progression is delayed in c-MYC-deficient RAT1 cells, and this delay was associated with a defect in CDK4 induction. Ectopic expression of CDK4 in these cells partially alleviated the growth defect. Thus CDK4 provides a direct link between the oncogenic effects of c-MYC and cell cycle regulation.

Title: A method and a device for radiography and a radiation detector
Inventor: FRANCKE TOM
IPC: G01N23/04
Filed: 2001-03-16
Abstract: A method and apparatus for radiography, and a detector for detecting inciden t radiation. In the method and the apparatus, wherein X-rays (9) are emitted from an X-ray source (60), the X-rays are formed into a planar beam and are transmitted through an object to be imaged (62), and the X-rays transmitted through said object (62) are detected in a detector chamber(64). The detecto r chamber (64), which detects incident radiation, including electrode arrangements between which a voltage is applied for creating an electrical field, which may cause electron-ion avalanches of primary and secondary ionisation electrons released by incident radiation. The detector (64) is oriented, in relation to the incident radiation (9), so that the radiation preferably enters sideways between a first and a second essentially parallel  plate, between which the electrical field is created. Electrical signals induced by said electron-ion avalanches are detected in at least one detecto r electrode arrangement, including a plurality of detector electrode elements arranged adjacent to each other, each along a direction being essentially parallel to the incident radiation. Pulses from each detector electrode element are processed in processing electronics, for obtaining values for ea ch pixel corresponding to the respective detector electrode element. The atoms in the detector chamber with which said X-ray photons interacting belong to a liquid, at a temperature between -30 ~C and room temperature, or solid material.

Title: Use of coiled-coil structural scaffold to generate structure-specific peptides
Inventor: HODGES ROBERT S
IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 2001-06-14
Abstract: This invention relates to the use of a coiled-coil structural scaffold to generate structure-specific peptides, including synthetic peptides derived from naturally occurring proteins of various origin. The structure of the synthetic peptides utilizes a scaffold of heptad repeat units into which epitopes from coiled- coil regions of native proteins are spliced. In particular, the synthetic peptides may be based on microbial proteins, especially surface proteins, which occur naturally in the coiled-coil form such as pneumococcal surface proteins A and C. The synthetic peptides are immunogenic and can be used to elicit an immune response in an animal.  Accordingly, they are useful as vaccines or to stimulate antibody production or cell-mediated immunity to the naturally occurring protein.

Title: Fracturing different levels within a completion interval of a well
Inventor: JONES LLOYD G
IPC: E21B43/26
Filed: 2001-07-23
Abstract: Method and apparatus for fracturing different levels of a completion interval in a well. A workstring (14) lowers a fracturing string (15) which, in turn, is comprised of a base pipe (20) which is blank except for perforated sections spaced along its length. Screen (31) may be provided over said sections to block the flow of sand into the base pipe. An alternate flow path (e.g., shunt tubes) (24) extends along the base pipe and has one or more outlets (25) spaced along its length. A slurry is flowed into the annulus surrounding the fracturing string. As liquid is lost from the slurry, sand from the slurry will form bridges (45) which act as mini gravel-packs at said perforated sections thereby isolating portions of the annulus. Slurry then flows through the shunts tube(s) (24) and out into the isolated portions to fracture the different levels in the completion interval.
