Patent CA-2662588-A1 (CA)
Title: Oxidative and anoxic extraction of metals from sulphide minerals
Inventor: SHELP GENE SIDNEY
IPC: C22B23/06
Filed: 2007-09-13
Abstract: Nickel entrained in the sulphide mineral pyrrhotite is engineered to dissolve in leaching acid in a two step procedure. First, a slurry of the mineral and the acid is activated by oxidation. This is done in a time Tl by electrolysis; or alternatively chemically, by adding e.g an oxidising acid to the mineral. After activation, the slurry is then kept under anoxic conditions for a time T2. During T2, the sulphide starts to dissolve much more rapidly, and the rapid breakdown of the sulphide enables the nickel to dissolve and thus to be leached out of the mineral. The dissolved nickel is extracted from the leaching acid e.g by electro-winning.

Title: Multi-epitope peptide-loaded dendritic cell immunotherapy for cancer
Inventor: BONDURANT KRISTINA L
IPC: C07K14/00
Filed: 2007-11-21
Abstract: The invention involves peptides of from about 7 to about 50 amino acid residues in length that have epitopes that bind to more than one HLA class II protein and stimulate CD4+ T cells for treatment of cancer from one of three serine proteases overexpressed in ovarian cancer and other cancers - stratum corneum chymotryptic enzyme, matriptase, and hepsin. Since the peptides bind to more than one HLA class II protein variant, they can be used to treat cancer in most patients of a population having a variety of HLA class II alleles. The peptides can be loaded onto autologous dendritic cells of a cancer patient and infused into the patient to activate a CD4+ and CD8+ T cell response that recognizes tumor cells expressing the peptide antigen.
