Patent EP-1150570-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAYLOR ANDREW W
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2000-01-21
Abstract: The invention encompasses a method of down-regulating a T cell-mediated immune response, through activation or T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation of antigen-primed T cells in the presence of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH), which may be optionally enhanced by adding transforming growth factor-beta2 (TGF-beta2) approximately 4-6 hours after the start of the primed T cells' exposure to alpha-MSH. Activation of the primed T cells may be mediated by presentation of the specific antigen to the primed T cells, or by an anti-TCR antibody or a T cell mitogen. As a result of the alpha-MSH treatment modulating the T cell activation, antigen-specific, regulatory, CD 4 +/CD 25 + T cells are generated that produce transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and can non-specifically down-regulate Th 1 -mediated inflammatory activities. The method may be used to down-regulate or suppress an autoimmune condition or a graft rejection in a transplant patient. The invention also encompasses a kit for generating regulatory T cell comprising a specific antigen, alpha-MSH, and optionally, TGF-beta2 and/or a T cell culture medium. Also provided are gene therapy treatments for suppressing an autoimmune or graft rejection response, or for re-establishing autotolerance, by introducing genetic material (e.g. nucleic acid) for expressing alpha-MSH or a receptor-binding portion thereof, into a localized tissue site.

Abstract: The magnet system is part of a relay, which displays particularly low-noise switching. Components of the magnet system include a core unit (1), an armature (6) and a not represented coil, whereby the armature (6) is preloaded in an open position. The low-noise switching behavior is achieved in that the armature (6) is designed in such a manner that the armature pole face in the region of its front end (8a) in the closing direction is essentially perpendicular to a connecting line (16) towards the bearing edge (12). In addition, when the armature (6) is attracted, the core pole face (9) extends at least substantially parallel to the armature pole face (8). The arrangement according to the invention requires no additional parts for the purpose of noise reduction, resulting in a particularly simple and compact structure.
