Title: Recombinant adenoviruses encoding glial cell neurotrophic factor (GDNF)
Inventor: HORELLOU PHILIPPE
IPC: C12N15/861
Filed: 1995-03-23
Granted: 1999-05-06
Abstract: Recombinant adenoviruses comprising a heterologous DNA sequence coding for glial-derived neurotrophic growth factor (GDNF) are provided. The recombinant adenoviruses are useful in a method of expressing GDNF in a cell, wherein the cell is present in a mammal suffering from Parkinson's disease, comprising infecting said cell with a replication-defective recombinant adenovirus comprising a DNA sequence encoding GDNF operably linked to a promoter by administering the adenovirus into cells of the central nervous system. The recombinant adenoviruses of the invention are also useful in a method of treating Parkinson's disease comprising administering into cells of the central nervous system of a mammal suffering therefrom a replication defective recombinant adenovirus comprising ITRs, an encapsidation sequence and a DNA sequence encoding GDNF operably linked to a promoter, wherein the adenovirus E1 gene is non-functional and GDNF is expressed at a level that provides a therapeutic effect.

Title: Thickening of aqueous mineral suspensions
Inventor: ALLEN ANTHONY PETER
IPC: C02F11/147
Filed: 1999-01-18
Granted: 2002-02-28
Abstract: A process of thickening an aqueous suspension of mineral solids by sedimentation comprising adding to the suspension water-soluble anionic bridging polymeric flocculant having intrinsic viscosity at least 5 dl/g and water-soluble cationic polymeric flocculant,allowing the solids to settle under gravity so as to form a lower underflow fraction containing a concentration of solids greater than that of the suspension and an upper overflow fraction containing a concentration of solids lower than that of the suspension and removing the underflow fraction,characterised in that the anionic and cationic flocculants are added to the suspension as an aqueous composition formed by blending 1 part by weight of the cationic polymeric flocculant with 2 to 99 parts by weight of the anionic polymeric flocculant and sufficient water to give a total polymer concentration of below 5 wt % and under conditions whereby counter-ionic precipitation can occur and in the aqueous composition substantially all of the anionic polymeric flocculant which is not precipitated by the cationic polymeric flocculant is in solution.An advantage of the invention is that the flocculants are not restricted by considerations of compatibility and thus it is not necessary (as in much of the prior art) to use, for instance, free-base cationic or free acid anionic flocculants in an attempt at minimising incompatibility, and it is not necessary to add acid, salt or other additives in order to minimise incompatibility.
