Patent NZ-236877-A (NZ)
Title: Extraction of roast and ground coffee in an elongated vertical column extraction vessel
Inventor: GOTTESMAN MARTIN
IPC: A23F5/26
Filed: 1991-01-23
Abstract: A method of extracting roasted and ground coffee is disclosed. Extraction water is fed to one end of an extraction vessel containing roasted and ground coffee, and coffee extract is withdrawn from the other end. Flow of water to and extract from the vessel is intermittently halted, and extracted roasted and ground coffee is intermittently discharged from the vessel, while a portion of unextracted coffee is charged to the vessel at the other end. The movement of coffee in the extraction vessel is countercurrent relative to the flow of the extraction water. The method of the present invention is less complex, is more easily controlled, requires a lower capital investment and produces a more aromatic coffee extract of better flavor balance.

Title: T cell receptor Vβ-Dβ-Jβ sequence and methods for its detection
Inventor: ZHANG JINGWU Z
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2000-02-22
Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a first oligonucleotide comprising the sequence of or derived from 5'-CTAGGGCGGGCGGGACTCACCTAC-3' or the nucleic acid sequence complementary thereto. The first oligonucleotide can be used with a nucleic acid of between 15 and 30 nucleotides that does not comprise the sequence of the first oligonucleotide and is found in the region from Vbeta to Jbeta of the Vbeta13.1 gene in Vbeta13.1 T cells, wherein the sequences of the oligonucleotide and the nucleic acid are not found on the same strand of the Vbeta13.1 gene pair, to amplify a portion of the Vbeta13.1 gene. Alternatively, the first oligonucleotide can be used with a labeling moiety in methods of detecting a LGRAGLTY motif found in T cell receptors of Vbeta13.1 T cells. This motif is associated with autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Once the motif is detected, the autoimmune disease can be treated or its progress monitored. The autoimmune disease can be treated by administering a peptide comprising the LGRAGLTY motif.
