Patent CA-2668187-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRIFFIN JOHN H
IPC: C12N9/64

Abstract: Recombinant activated protein C (APC) and APC variants with reduced anticoagulant activity were used to reduce mortality in murine models of sepsis. These models included endotoxemia and bacteremia models. We discovered that single or multiple bolus doses of APC, especially of APC variants such as RR230/231AA-APC, KKK192-194AAA-APC and 5A-APC (containing the combination of mutations present in the first two APC variants) given as a single bolus reduces 7-day mortality of mice given lethal doses of endotoxin. Administrations of a single bolus of 5A-APC after the initiation of sepsis also reduces mortality caused by LPS. 5A-APC with <= 8 % of normal anticoagulant activity (which has reduced risk of bleeding) reduces mortality when given as two bolus administrations at 3 hours and then at 10 hours after initiation of bacterial infection, i.e. after onset of sepsis. This shows, first, that one or more bolus injections of APC or of APC variants, especially 5A-APC, can reduce mortality when given beginning hours after the onset of sepsis and, second, that it is not necessary to administer APC as a continuous infusion which is the current standard of practice because one or more bolus administrations can reduce mortality. Furthermore, dosages of approximately 0.06 to 0.4 mg/kg of APC and APC variants are identified to be sufficient to reduce mortality in sepsis.

Abstract: Nucleic acid constructs and methods are disclosed for modifying fiber length, plant height, and/or plant biomass in plant tissues. Plants are genetically engineered with constructs encoding an Arabidopsis thaliana wall-associated kinase gene, which alters fiber length and/or plant height when overexpressed under the control of a cambium/xylem preferred promoter. Plant transformants harboring a wall- associated kinase gene show increased fiber length, a trait that is thought to improve woody trees for pulping and papermaking.

Abstract: A raintrough support clip includes a generally cylindrical main body made from an elastically resilient material, and having a circumferential gap to facilitate mounting of the main body around the awning reel of a recreation vehicle awning assembly of the type having a flexible valance sheet extending downward from the outer edge of the awning reel. The raintrough support clip also has an outrigger member extending outwardly from a lower region of the main body, with an upturned portion forming a generally U-shaped space between the outrigger and the main body. When a suitable number of the raintrough support clips are mounted along the length of the awning reel, the valance sheet may be readily deformed to form a rainwater drainage trough for receiving runoff from the awning. The drainage trough thus formed will carry runoff to one or both ends of the awning reel, thereby preventing the runoff from falling over the awning reel and forming a runoff curtain therebelow.
