Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide a method for electrically contacting metal reinforcements in concrete which can be carried out at low costs and which also provides a means for preventing the concrete surface from having to be partially chiseled open and then filled in again. To this end, the invention proposes a method for electrically contacting metal reinforcements in concrete. According to the invention, the position of the metal reinforcement in the concrete is detected, a bore hole (4) extending right up to the metal reinforcement is produced in the concrete and a threaded rod (7) is anchored in the bore hole by way of an expansion anchor (6). Said threaded rod is screwed into the bore hole until it contacts the metal reinforcement in an electrically conductive manner.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for purifying immunogenic, prophylactically and therapeutically effective complexes of modified heat shock proteins noncovalently associated with antigenic peptides of cancer or infected cells. The claimed methods comprise the constructing of a nucleotide sequence encoding a secretable modified heat shock protein, expressing the sequence in an appropriate host cell, recovering the immunogenic complexes from the cell culture and the cells, and purifying the immunogenic complexes by affinity chromatography. Large amounts of such immunogenic complexes can be obtained by large-scale culturing of host cells containing the genetic sequence. The complexes can be used as a vaccine to elicit specific immune responses against cancer or infected cells, and to treat or prevent cancer or infectious diseases.

Abstract: Specific genetic deletions are identified in mycobacteria isolates, including variations in the  M.tuberculosis  genome between isolates, and numerous deletions present in BCG as compared to  M.tb.  These deletions are used as markers to distinguish between pathogenic and avirulent strains, and as a marker for particular  M.tb  isolates. Deletions specific to vaccine strains of BCG are useful in determining whether a positive tuberculin skin test is indicative of actual tuberculosis infection. The deleted sequences may be re-introduced into BCG to improve the efficacy of the vaccination. Alternatively, the genetic sequence that corresponds to the deletion(s) is deleted from  M.bovis  or  M.tuberculosis  to attenuate the pathogenic bacteria.
