Abstract: Peptides are used to define epitopes that stimulate HLA-restricted cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity against hepatitis B virus antigens. The peptides are derived from regions of HBV nucleocapsid, envelop, polymerase and the transcriptional transactivator X protein, and are particularly useful in treating or preventing HBV infection, including methods for stimulating the immune response of chronically infected individuals to respond to HBV antigens. Pharmaceutical compositions and hepatitis B vaccines which comprise the peptides and physiologically acceptable carriers can be employed in conjunction with other HBV vaccinss to provide more effective immunity against the disease. Methods for identifying individuals who are particularly susceptible to developing chronic HBV infection and who can be targeted for treatment by the CTL peptides are also provided.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for selectively sintering a layer of powder to produce a part comprising a plurality of sintered layers. The apparatus includes a computer controlling a laser to direct the laser energy onto the powder to produce a sintered mass. The computer either determines or is programmed with the boundaries of the desired cross-sectional regions of the part. For each cross-section, the aim of the laser beam is scanned over a layer of powder and the beam is switched on to sinter only the powder within the boundaries of the cross-section. Powder is applied and successive layers sintered until a completed part is formed. Preferably, the powder comprises a plurality of materials having different dissociation or bonding temperatures. The powder preferably comprises blended or coated materials, including precursor materials which are formed into a mass at the irradiated locations, and which either react due to the laser thermal energy or in a later heat treatment to form a compound with properties different than the precursors. Examples are disclosed wherein a compound is formed which has a significantly higher melting point than that of one or more of the precursor powders.

Abstract: A process for phosphorylating a peptide comprises reacting an aqueous solution of the peptide with an effective amount of phosphorous oxychloride under conditions favoring phosphorylation of the peptide. In a specific embodiment, the peptide is insulin. A phosphorylated insulin is used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus wherein the phosphorylated insulin is produced or purified with an effective amount of phosphorus oxychloride to have substantially reduced iso-electric points and to have the property of reducing hyperglycemia without substantially inducing hypoglycemia. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the method comprises administering to a human being an effective therapeutic amount of a phosphorylated insulin essentially free of unmodified insulin and having substantially reduced iso-electric points whereby hyperglycemia is reduced substantially without inducing hypoglycemia. A phosphorylated insulin having either at least one phosphate group substituted on serine residues in the insulin or at least one phosphate group substituted on threonine residues in the insulin is for use in the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract: On a découvert que le 8-exo-formyl-2,6-exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]décane présentant la constitution et la stéréochimie de la formule (I) possède des propriétés olfactives particulièrement utiles qui sont nettement supérieures à celles des 8-endo-épimères et qui se font déjà bien sentir si le composé (I) est enrichi avec des mélanges de 8-exo/endo-épimères. Le composé (I) peut donc s'utiliser avantageusement, sous forme pure ou enrichie, comme matière odorante ou comme constituant de compositions de parfum. Pour fabriquer un mélange d'épimère enrichi, un mélange obtenu de manière connue (US-PS 3 270 061) et présentant un rapport exo/endo de 1,45:1 est amené en équilibre par catalyse basique, de préférence par l'action d'hydroxides alcalins dans une solution alcoolique, afin de donner un rapport exo/endo de 5,25:1. En variante, le mélange d'épimère enrichi peut être préparé à partir de 8-formyl-2,6-exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]décène-3(4), soumis à une hydrogénation catalytique par exemple avec du charbon palladeux et ensuite éventuellement amené en équilibre. Ou bien du 2,6-exo-tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]décène-8 peut être hydroformylé et éventuellement encore amené en équilibre. Pour préparer le composé pur (I), de préférence un mélange de 8-exo/endo-épimères obtenu de manière connue en soi est réduit en un mélange d'alcools correspondant, à partir duquel le méthylol à configuration 8-exo est isolé par chromatographie ou distillation et oxydé pour obtenir à nouveau l'aldéhyde (composé I).

Abstract: The invention provides a process for hydrolysis of water-insoluble ester in the presence of a lipase derived from a strain of Humicola, Candida antarctica, Pseudomonas, Chromobacterium or Aspergillus at pH 3-7, characterized by the presence of an aluminium salt, and particularly to such a process for hydrolysis of resin in pulp. It also provides a method of increasing the rate of hydrolysis of water-insoluble ester in the presence of such a lipase, by incorporation of an aluminium salt. Addition of aluminium salt significantly increases the hydrolysis rate of esters in the presence of the above lipases. A strong increase of fat hydrolysis (from c. 50 % to c. 87 % hydrolysis) was found with as little as 10  mu M Al<+++>.

Abstract: Circuitry for drawing lines includes a video memory for storing pixel data and circuitry for generating a sequence of addresses defining a line of pixels in the video memory. A first memory stores a sequence of pattern units corresponding to the generated sequence of addresses. A second memory stores a value indicating a current pattern unit. Writing circuitry writes to the video memory at a generated address responsive to a current pattern unit. A third memory stores a control value which is accessed by update circuitry for updating the second memory to indicate the next pattern unit. The update circuitry may selectively update the second memory to the sequential pattern unit or reset the second memory to a predetermined pattern unit.

Abstract: Method and composition for detecting one or more selected polynucleotide regions in a target polynucleotide. In one embodiment of the invention, a plurality of different-sequence probe pairs are added to a target polynucleotide, where each probe pair includes two polynucleotide probe elements which are complementary in sequence to adjacent portions of a selected one of the target sequences in the target polynucleotide. In each probe pair, one of the probe elements contains a non-polynucleotide polymer chain which imparts a distinctive mobility to the associated probe pair, when the elements in the pair are ligated. The other element in the pair contains a detectable reporter label. After the probe pairs have been allowed to hybridize with the target polynucleotide, the hybridized polynucleotides are treated under conditions effective to ligate the end subunits of target-bound probe elements when their end subunits are base-paired with adjacent target bases. The ligated probe pairs are then released from the target polynucleotide and separated electrophoretically in a sieving matrix, or chromatographically.

Abstract: A shift control system for shifting an automatic transmission from a predetermined gear stage to another by draining an oil pressure from predetermined frictional engagement means connected to an engine to release the same frictional engagement means and by feeding the oil pressure to another frictional engagement means to apply the same frictional engagement means while controlling the drain oil pressure of the frictional engagement means to be released and the application oil pressure of the frictional engagement means to be applied, during the shift. The shift control system comprises blowup detecting means for detecting the blown-up state of the engine being shifted in a clutch-to-clutch manner, and hydraulic control means for controlling at least one of the drain oil pressure of the frictional engagement means to be released and the application oil pressure of the frictional engagement means to be applied, on the basis of the blown-up state of the engine detected by the blowup detecting means, such that the amount of blowup of the engine may fall within a predetermined range. Since the rotation changing state of the engine being shifted is reflected upon the hydraulic control of the frictional engagement means participating in the clutch-to-clutch shift, it is possible to reliably prevent any excessive blowup of the engine and the reduction of the output shaft torque due to the tie-up of the frictional engagement means at all times. <IMAGE>
