IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 2000-07-27
Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of an ADAM8 gene that is amplified in the genome of tumor cells. Such gene amplification is associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contributes to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the ADAM8 protein encoded by the amplified gene is a useful target for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and acts as a predictor of the prognosis of tumor treatment.

Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an ink jet printer having a mechanism of simple arrangement for heating ink without causing an undue temperature rise.  <P>SOLUTION: An ink heating mechanism 70 disposed in the ink jet printer comprises PTC thermistors 71-74 for heating ink of respective colors, and a circuit 80 for controlling conduction thereof wherein the conduction control circuit 80 comprises an NTC thermistor 75 and a conduction control transistor Tr1 having a base application voltage being controlled by the NTC thermistor 75 depending on the environmental temperature. Since the NTC thermistor 75 has a high resistance when the environmental temperature is low, the base application voltage is raised and conduction amount of the PTC thermistors 71-75 is increased thus increasing heat generation. Since the resistance of the NTC thermistor 75 decreases as the environmental temperature rises, the base application voltage is lowered and conduction amount of the PTC thermistors 71-74 is decreased thus suppressing or stopping heat generation. Since the PTC thermistor is also provided with a self temperature control function, undue temperature rise of ink can be prevented more reliably through simple circuitry.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
