Patent CA-2142811-C (CA)
Inventor: JAMAS SPIROS
IPC: A61P31/00
Filed: 1993-08-20
Granted: 2006-10-31
Abstract: The present invention relates to neutral, aqueous soluble .beta.-glucans which exert potent and specific immunological effects without stimulating the production of certain cytokines, to preparations containing the novel .beta.-glucans, and to a novel manufacturing process therefor. The neutral, aqueous soluble .beta.-glucan preparation has a high affinity for the .beta.-glucan receptor of human monocytes and retains two primary biological (or immunological) activities, (I) the enhancement of microbicidal activity of phagocytic cells, and (2) monocyte, neutrophil and platelet hemopoietic activity. Unlike soluble glucans described in the prior art, the neutral, aqueous soluble .beta.-glucan of this invention neither induces nor primes IL-1.beta. and TNF.alpha. production in vitro and in vivo. Safe and efficacious preparations of neutral, aqueous soluble .beta.-glucan of the present invention can be used in therapeutic and/or prophylactic treatment regimens of humans and animals to enhance their immune response, without stimulating the production of certain biochemical mediators (e.g., IL-1.beta., TNF.alpha.) that can cause detrimental side effects, such as fever and inflammation.
Patent CA-2146391-C (CA)

Granted: 1998-11-03
Abstract: A guiding roller for web material, in particular, for paper production and finishing machines, has a middle and two outer roller tubes. The adjacent ends of the middle and outer tubes are connected with each other by a bridging element in such a way that the middle and outer tubes are driven along with each other in a rotating and articulated manner. The middle and outer tubes have a common roller bearing which allows the roller tubes to be supported on a fixed roller axle with either a lesser number of roller bearings and/or by eliminating the use of spherical roller bearings. The common roller bearing of the adjacent ends has a thermal insulating material positioned between the roller bearing and the roller tube, thus eliminating an excessively high generation of heat from the roller bearings.

Granted: 1999-08-17
Abstract: An impingement freezer having a zoned freezing chamber in which the temperature of each zone is independently controllable so that the temperature  profile within the impingement freezer is coldest at a zone adjacent the outlet and warmest at a zone adjacent the inlet for maximum thermodynamic usage of the refrigerant. Additionally, the velocity of each of the impingement jets is independently adjustable from zone to zone so that in the zone adjacent the entrance of the freezing chamber, the impingement jets can be adjusted to have maximum velocity to produce maximum heat transfer coefficients and thereby an  acceptable  rate  of  cooling within the impingement jet freezer. Impingement jets are formed within nozzles that are tapered in two orthogonal directions to prevent frost build-up.  Circulation within the impingement jet freezer is produced by venturi-like devices driven by vaporization of incoming refrigerant.

IPC: C12N9/96
Filed: 1995-08-30
Granted: 2006-02-14
Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de conjugaison de la luciférase à une entité chimique, notamment à un agent de liaison spécifique tel qu'un anticorps, un antigène ou un acide nucléique et, tout particulièrement, un anticorps, consistant (a) à mélanger la luciférase avec un ou plusieurs D-luciférine, ions magnésium et adénosine triphosphate, et (b) à provoquer une réaction de couplage covalent entre la luciférase et le réactif de liaison en faisant appel à un réactif de couplage covalent où la quantité de D-luciférine, d'ions magnésium et/ou d'adénosine triphosphate soit suffisante pour protéger l'activité de la luciférase de l'inhibition par le réactif de couplage covalent. Il es préférable d'exécuter les opérations de l'étape (a) en mélangeant la luciférase avec ses substrats en solution et que tant le magnésium que l'adénosine triphosphate soient présents sous la forme de magnésium-adénosine-triphosphate (Mg<2+>ATP), éventuellement avec de la D-luciférine. Le second aspect de l'invention se rapporte à une entité chimique marquée comprenant une entité chimique conjuguée à de la luciférase active comme présenté ci-dessus. Il est préférable que l'entité chimique soit un agent de liaison spécifique se prêtant à un titrage par liaison spécifique et qu'il s'agisse de préférence d'un anticorps, d'un antigène ou d'acide nucléique. Lorsque l'agent de liaison est un acide nucléique, il est préférable qu'il soit un oligonucléotide, mais il peut s'agir d'un polynucléotide ou d'un nucléoside, et il peut être utilisé comme sonde d'hybridation ou amorce d'allongement de la chaîne, par exemple, une amorce de PCR. Il est des plus profitable que cette entité soit un anticorops dans la mesure où les précédentes tentatives pour coupler des anticorps à la luciférase se sont soldées par une inactivité. L'invention a également trait à des matériels de test.
