Patent CA-2690564-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BERCOVICH ANDRES
IPC: C12P21/02
Filed: 2008-06-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a non-human transgenic mammal that is useful for the production of a protein of interest that may be toxic to the mammal. The mammal is characterized by the fact that it is transgenic for the production in its milk of an inactive form of the protein of interest, preferably recombinant human insulin. It is not possible to produce recombinant human insulin in transgenic mammals since this molecule has a certain degree of biological activity in the mammals and could be toxic to the mammal. Thus, the invention involves cloning a genetic construct comprising a sequence encoding a modified human insulin precursor under the control of a beta casein promoter in an expression vector.  It also involves transfecting the expression plasmid into fetal bovine somatic cells, such as fibroblasts, and enucleating bovine oocytes by nuclear transfer to generate transgenic embryos.  The invention gives rise to transgenic bovine that will be able to produce a modified human insulin precursor in their mammary glands. Afterwards, the milk of these transgenic mammals can be collected, the modified human insulin precursor can be converted in vitro into recombinant human insulin, and the recombinant human insulin can be purified to homogeneity as a pure biopharmaceutical product.

Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancing the selective targeting of agents (204) for preferential action at a target with reduced action with healthy tissue distal the target tissue. One or more agents (204) can be combined with nano scale structures/particles (202) for delivery to the target tissue. Appropriate bombardment with accelerated particle radiation, such as proton radiation, induces the release of the agents (204) at the target site. Nano carriers can be combined with therapeutic and/or imaging enhancement agents (204). Imaging of the target tissue can provide a verification of the delivered dose of particle radiation. Nanocarriers can be provided with an outer shell selected for biocompatibility and durability in the in vivo environment and further selected to provide a feedback mechanism in the treatment environment to accelerate the release of the agent (204) and reduce a total radiation dose needed for that release.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, apparatuses, and systems for fixing dens fractures. The mode of failure for screw fixation of C2 dens fractures is often via cut-out at the anterior body. In an embodiment, securing a plate, such as a locking plate, to the anterior surface of the vertebra attached directly to an interfragmentary screw may reduce potential for anterior screw cut-out and improve construct strength. Plate supplementation of anterior screw fixation of Type I1 dens fractures thus improves construct strength and changes the failure mechanism from anterior screw cut-out to posterior displacement of the screw, thus improving clinical outcomes for these fractures.
