Title: Immunosuppression by blocking T cell co-stimulation signal 2 (B7/CD28 interaction)
Inventor: LECHLER IAN ROBERT
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1999-04-30
Granted: 2004-04-22
Abstract: The invention provides means and methods for inhibiting T-cell mediated rejection of a xenotransplanted organ by blocking the delivery of co-stimulatory signal 2 (the B7/CD28 interaction) in order to prevent the activation of xenoreactive T-cells in the recipient.  In a first aspect, co-stimulation is prevented by administration to the organ recipient of a soluble form of CTLA-4 from the xenogeneic donor organism. This preferentially binds B7 on the xenograft and blocks the interaction between B7 on the xenogeneic donor cells and CD28 on recipient T-cells.  In a second aspect, co-stimulation is antagonised by expressing a ligand for CTLA-4 on the xenogeneic donor cells. This ligand binds to CTLA-4 on activated T-cells of the recipient and antagonises signal 2.  In a third aspect, co-stimulation is prevented by expressing recipient organism MHC class II on the surface of the cells of the xenogeneic donor organ. The donor cells are thus able to present xenoantigens to a recipient T-cell in the context of self-MHC class II. If the donor cells do not express B7, or if B7 is blocked, the xenoreactive recipient T-cell becomes anergic.

Title: Improvements in tungsten recovery
Inventor: ANDERSON DIANA MARY
IPC: C22B34/36
Filed: 1986-03-24
Granted: 1989-06-29
Abstract: The scarcity of high grade tungsten ores obliges users to seek to recover it from scrap materials, but drill bits in particular pose special problems. Existing proposals to use acidic hydrogen peroxide to oxidize and solubilize tungsten are extremely inefficient in reagent consumption per unit tungsten recovered. According to the present invention hydrogen peroxide can be used considerably more efficiently with sub-stoichiometric reagent addition per stage, especially from 6 to 12 stages and by the use of a small amount of certain promoters which it is believed may form a water-soluble complex with tungsten which provides an alternative route for tungsten dissolution. Many of the promoters are aromatic hydroxyl or amino acids such as 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2-aminobenzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzene-phenol and its related oxidation products such as 1,4-benzoquinone. Also, certain aliphatic acids such as tartaric and epoxy succinic acid show some promotional activity.

Title: Heterologous polypeptides expressed in filamentous fungi, processes for making same, and vectors for making same
Inventor: BERKA RANDY M
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1986-08-27
Granted: 1991-03-07
Abstract: Novel vectors are disclosed for expressing and secreting heterologous polypeptides from filamentous fungi. Such vectors are used in novel processes to express and secrete such heterologous polypeptides. The vectors used for transforming a filamentous fungus to express and secrete a heterologous polypeptide include a DNA sequence encoding a heterologous polypeptide and a DNA sequence encoding a signal sequence which is functional in a secretory system in a given filamentous fungus and which is operably linked to the sequence encoding the heterologous polypeptide. Such signal sequences may be the signal sequence normally associated with the heterologous polypeptides or may be derived from other sources. The vector may also contain DNA sequences encoding a promoter sequence which is functionally recognized by the filamentous fungus and which is operably linked to the DNA sequence encoding the signal sequence. Preferably functional polyadenylation sequences are operably linked to the 3' terminus of the DNA sequence encoding the heterologous polypeptides. Each of the above described vectors are used in novel processes to transform a filamentous fungus wherein the DNA sequences encoding the signal sequence and heterologous polypeptide are expressed. The thus synthesized polypeptide is thereafter secreted from the filamentous fungus.
