Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode destinée à identifier un composé permettant d'inhiber la liaison du VHC à une cellule exprimant un récepteur de surface choisi dans le groupe constitué par DC-SIGN ou DC-SIGNR. Cette méthode consiste (a) à mettre la cellule exprimant le récepteur de surface en contact avec une source de VHC en présence ou en l'absence d'un composé de test pendant une durée suffisante pour permettre la liaison du VHC à la cellule, et (b) à détecter le VHC lié à la cellule. Une réduction de la quantité de VHC lié à la cellule en présence du composé de test par comparaison avec la quantité de VHC lié à la cellule en l'absence du composé de test indique que le composé permet d'inhiber la liaison du VHC à une cellule exprimant DC-SIGN ou DC-SIGNR. L'invention concerne également des méthodes d'identification d'un composé permettant d'inhiber une infection par le VHC d'une cellule exprimant DC-SIGN ou DC-SIGNR.

Patent CA-2541517-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PAWLAK STANISLAW
IPC: H05K9/00
Filed: 2006-03-30
Abstract: The subject of this invention is a system of propulsion without reaction or inertia. The system described below could be used to travel with or without atmosphere, underwater or even to penetrate mediums such as ice or earth. The main component of this system is a shield that primary role is to act as a barrier against aether. Aether - Dark Matter is like ocean of subatomic particles that exists in cosmos and around us. These particles penetrate most bodies. This shield is to be made of a combination of electromagnetic fields, positioned close to propelled body. The secondary role of this shield is to remove the effect of inertia. Inertia is the absorption of aether particles in accelerating body. The faster a body moves, the greater its mass becomes as a result of the collection of greater amounts of aether within the body. This effect is nullified by the shield.   By removing effect of inertia, possibility exists of rapid acceleration and fast change in direction with little or no stress exerted on the body in motion. Also the body propelled by this system could achieve great speeds. The Aetheric Propulsion System require small amount of energy as this energy is used only to create body shielding field.
