Abstract: Measurements of the squalene content in oil-in-water emulsions can be used as a way of checking for problems during production. In particular, it has been found that a drop in squalene content can indicate that filtration problems occurred. Testing the squalene content in the final lots is easier than investigating the characteristics of the filter, and so a squalene assay simplifies the quality control of oil-in-water emulsions.

Title: Method of capturing, processing, and rendering images
Inventor: KRAVER ADAM
IPC: G06T17/20
Filed: 2007-12-20
Abstract: A computer- implemented method for capturing and processing a series of images captures a first image incorporating a surface having a plurality of markers varying in texture or color to obtain an image representation. A plurality of alignment tracking points, obtained from the plurality of markers, is designated. The plurality of alignment tracking points is utilized in a first image frame to locate a position of a first marker in a second, succeeding image frame. The first marker is reused in the second, succeeding image frame if located. Otherwise, a defined region surrounding the position of the first marker is searched for a second marker matching the first marker in texture or color. The second marker is used in the second, succeeding image if located. Otherwise, a best guess position of the first marker is interpolated by processing translation information of a third marker geometrically interconnected to the first marker.

Title: A method of identification of cells that show sensitivity to modulation of signaling mediated by a fibroblast growth factor receptor or a variant thereof
Inventor: GUAGNANO VITO
IPC: G01N33/574
Filed: 2008-02-25
Abstract: The invention is based on the finding that cells that show (especially tyrosine) phosphorylation of FGF-R substrate 2 (FRS-2), in contrast to cells that lack such phosphorylation, allow a prediction that treatment with a modulator, especially an inhibitor, of Fibroblast Growth Factor-Receptor signaling will be successful in cells e.g. from biological samples from patients that show such phosphorylation. Therefore, the phosphorylation of FRS-2 can serve as a biomarker for the possibility of successful treatment. The invention relates to various methods, uses, kits and reagents useful in applying this biomarker.
