Title: Automated enumeration and characterization of circulating melanoma cells in blood
Inventor: CONNELLY MARK CARLE
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 2008-10-20
Abstract: The CellTracks® System provides a system to enumerate circulating melanoma cells in blood. The system immuno-magnetically concentrates epithelial cells, fluorescently labels the cells and identifies and quantifies circulating melanoma cells.  The absolute number of circulating melanoma cells detected in the peripheral blood tumor load is, in part, a factor in prediction of survival, time to progression, and response to therapy. Diagnosis and monitoring of melanoma has been limited by the inability to monitor circulating melanoma cells. The present invention provides a method to enumerate circulating melanoma cells in blood samples. Accordingly, this technology provides a means and device for monitoring disease progression in patients with melanoma.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antibody binding to Claudin6 (CLDN6) expressed on a cell membrane. The antibody of the present invention recognizes human CLDN6 present in a native form on cell membrane surface and exhibits cytotoxicity through ADCC and/or CDC activities against cancer cell lines highly expressing human CLDN6. Moreover, the antibody of the present invention has cell growth inhibitory effect through conjugation with toxin on cancer cell lines highly expressing human CLDN6. The human CLDN6 is overexpressed in tumor tissues (lung adenocarcinoma, gastric cancer, and ovarian cancer), although its expression is not observed in normal tissues. Thus, the anti-CLDN6 antibody is expected to highly accumulate in tumors highly expressing human CLDN6 and can serve as a very effective antitumor agent.

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for adjusting a transmission power level of a transceiver (12, 15) at a utility meter data origination site (10). A power level of transmission at the site transceiver (12, 15) is adjusted to an optimum level if an acknowledgement is not received from a network gateway (30) in response to data transmissions from the site transceiver (12, 15). Also, for each unsuccessful transmission period, the amount of metering data is increased in the next transmission period to make up for the failed communication tries. Upon establishing communication with the gateway (30), the site transceiver (12, 15) can receive commands from the gateway (30) that further adjust its power level of transmission to optimize reception at the gateway from a large plurality of utility meter data origination sites (10) within a geographical area served by the gateway (30). The gateway (30) communicates utility metering data through a wireless network (40), such as WIFI, GPRS, POE or CDMA to a data collection center (50) for data processing and billing operations.
