Filed: 2002-05-09
Abstract: Lockable overshot (10) includes an elongated body (12), lifting dogs (14a, 14b) and a locking sleeve (16). Ends (18) of the lifting dogs (14) are configured for latching a conventional spearhead point therebetween. The locking sleeve (16) is retained on the body (12) and is provided at one axial end with a circumferential wall (66) and two diametrically opposed gaps (68).  The locking sleeve (16) is rotatable on the body (12) between a locked state preventing ends (18) of the lifting dogs from pivoting away from each other to release a previously latched spearhead point, and an unlocked state where the locking sleeve (16) allows the lifting dogs (14) to move so that the ends (18) can be pivoted away from each other to release a previously latched spearhead point. In this regard, the locking sleeve (16) is provided at one axial end with a circumferential wall (66) provided with a pair of diametrically opposed gaps (68). When the locking sleeve (16) is in the locked state, the wall (66) is disposed inside or between ends (56) of the lifting dogs (14). This prevents the ends (18) of the lifting dogs from pivoting away from each other.  When in the unlocked state, the gaps (68) register with the ends (56) of the lifting dogs (14) so that the ends (56) can be pivoted toward each other thereby pivoting the ends (18) away from each other to release a previously latched spearhead point.

Title: Methods and compositions relating to improved lentiviral vector production systems
Inventor: ZUFFEREY ROMAIN N
IPC: C12N5/08
Filed: 2002-08-01
Abstract: The present invention provides HIV-derived lentivectors which are multiply modified to create highly safe, efficient, and potent vectors for expressing transgenes for gene therapy. The lentiviral vector comprise various combinations of an inactive central polypurine tract, a stuffer sequence, which may encode drug susceptibility genes, and a mutated hairpin in the 5' leader sequence that substantially abolishes replication. These elements are provided in conjunction with other features of lentiviral vectors, such as a self-inactivating configuration for biosaftey and promoters such as the EF1.alpha. promoter as one example. Additional promoters are also described. The vectors can also comprise additional transcription enhancing elements su ch as the wood chuck hepatitis virus post-transcriptional regulatory element. These vectors therefore provide useful tools for genetic treatments for inherited and acquired disorders, gene-therapies for cancers and other disease, the creation of industrial and experimental production systems utilizing transformed cells, as well as for the study of basic cellular and genetic processes.
