Title: Allele-specific rna interference
Inventor: XU ZUOSHANG
IPC: A61K48/00
Filed: 2006-10-02
Abstract: Human diseases caused by dominant, gain-of-function mutations develop in heterozygotes bearing one mutant and one wild-type copy of a gene. Because the wild- type gene often performs important functions, whereas the mutant gene is toxic, any therapeutic strategy must selectively inhibit the mutant while retaining wild-type gene expression. The present invention includes methods of specifically inhibiting the expression of a mutant allele, while preserving the expression of a co-expressed wild-type allele using RNAi, a therapeutic strategy for treating genetic disorders associated with dominant, gain-of-function gene mutations. The invention also includes small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) and small hairpin RNAs (shRNAs) that selectively suppress mutant, but not wild-type, expression of copper zinc superoxide dismutase (SODl), which causes inherited amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The present invention further provides asysmmetric siRNAs and shRNAs with enhanced efficacy and specificity and mediating RNAi.

Title: Headlight lamp
Inventor: KNORR KLAUS
IPC: F21Y101/00
Filed: 2006-10-05
Abstract: The invention relates to a headlight lamp having at least one spiral-wound filament (14) which is surrounded by a lamp vessel (10), the at least one spiral-wound filament (14) being constructed in such a way that while the lamp is operating it generates a light current whose value is higher than a predefined, permissible maximum value for the light current of the lamp and the lamp vessel (10) has a region (103, 104) of reduced light transmission, with the aid of which region the light current which leaves the headlight lamp while the lamp is operating is reduced to a value of less than or equal to the predefined permissible maximum value. As a result, the luminance of the lamp and the lighting intensity at the important distance points in front of the headlight are increased.
