Abstract: The present invention provides use of a protein conjugate comprising a "ble" protein, which has specific binding properties. The protein conjugates are capable of binding reversibly to an antibiotic from the bleomycin family, which property is exploited in a variety of immobilisation methods. In preferred aspects of the invention, the conjugates are used as markers for protein expression and/or folding, or for affinity tagging. The present invention also provides a probe comprising an array of an immobilised antibody from the bleomycin family, which acts as an analyte capture moiety. In another aspect, a purification media is provided, which comprises an antibiotic of the bleomycin family as an analyte capture moiety. Also provided is a method for generating soluble forms of an insoluble protein by expressing the protein as a "ble" fusion protein and selecting in the presence of an antibiotic from the bleomycin family. In a further aspect, the "ble" protein is expressed as a fusion protein in a cell into which is introduced a labelled antibiotic of the bleomycin family, thereby allowing identification of the cellular localisation of the protein.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fork-lift truck comprising two steering wheels mounted on one axle, provided with a lifting and steering device arranged thereon and a fork-carrier frame mounted on the track rollers, comprising two supporting beams. The fork-carrier frame is mounted in such a manner that it interacts with the lifting and steering device. The fork-lift truck also comprises a set of wheels which can be disposed in the region of the front ends of the fork of the supporting beams on the fork-carrier frame. The aim of the invention is to enable a fork-lift truck to be fitted with an additional set of wheels if desired without having an adverse effect on the advantages of the use thereof. This is achieved by virtue of the fact that the fork-lift truck comprises overlapping tracks which extend the supporting beams and which can be detachably fixed to the fork-carrier frame and can be placed onto the supporting beams. The set of wheels are detachably arranged on the front side of the tracks.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing device for dispensing a fluid on an associated surface comprises a dispensing assembly which includes a handle and an outlet for dispensing therefrom compressed air from an associated compressed source. The dispensing assembly selectively dispenses an associated fluid from the associated fluid reservoir with the compressed air dependent on a position of the handle. A passage communicates with the outlet and the associated fluid reservoir. A valve is received in the passage between first and second valve seats. The valve provides selective communication between the associated fluid reservoir and the outlet. A movable stem is operatively associated with the handle and the valve. In a first position, the valve engages the first valve seat to preclude fluid flow from the associated reservoir. In a second position, the valve is interposed between the first and second valve seats for supplying an associated fluid from the associated fluid reservoir to the valve seat. In a third position, the valve engages the second valve seat and precludes fluid flow from the associated reservoir, for example, when pressure increases in the reservoir or if the dispensing assembly is inverted. However, the valve may be displaced from sealing engagement with the second valve seat by depressing the handle which, in turn, moves the stem into engagement with the valve thereby unseating the valve from the second valve seat.
