Title: Methods for producing members of specific binding pairs
Inventor: MCCAFFERTY JOHN
IPC: C12R1/19
Filed: 1991-07-10
Granted: 2012-01-25
Abstract: A member of a specific binding pair (sbp) is identified by expressing DNA encoding a genetically diverse population of such sbp members in recombinant host cells in which the sbp members are displayed in functional form at the surface of a secreted recombinant genetic display package (rgdp) containing DNA encoding the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof, by virtue of the sbp member or a polypeptide component thereof being expressed as a fusion with a capsid component of the rgdp. The displayed sbps may be selected by affinity with a complementary sbp member, and the DNA recovered from selected rgdps for expression of the selected sbp members. Antibody sbp members may be thus obtained, with the different chains thereof expressed, one fused to the capsid component and the other in free form for association with the fusion partner polypeptide. A phagemid may be used as an expression vector, with said capsid fusion helping to package the phagemid DNA. Using this method libraries of DNA encoding respective chains of such multimeric sbp members may be combined, thereby obtaining a much greater genetic diversity in the sbp members than could easily be obtained by conventional methods.

Abstract: The system for determining a position of a probe relative to an object such as a head of a body patient. The head includes a surface such as a forehead having a contour. The head is placed in a cradle equipped with an arc. The cross-sectional images of the head are determined relative to the arc. A hand-held unit optically scans the forehead and the arc. During scanning to generate the cross-sectional images, the optical scanner is used to determine the position of the forehead relative to the cradle. During surgery, the optical scanner also determines the position of the forehead relative to a base ring. An array for receiving radiation emitted from the probe and from the base ring generates signals indicating the position of the tip of the probe relative to the base ring. A stereotactic imaging system selects and display the image of the head closest to the measured position of the tip of the probe.

Abstract: The invention provides an image forming method of forming a full-color image in which black can be expressed in addition to a color expressed by diffracted light.  Each of plural diffraction gratings R, G, and B is transferred onto a base material 30 from a transfer sheet 20 in which the plural dif fraction gratings R, G, and B are laminated, and the plural diffraction gratings R, G, and B are different from one another in a color of diffracted light observed in a particular direction. A black ink layer 34 constituted by black ink is formed on the base material 30. Thereby, a color image is formed on the base material 30, in which a color to be expressed of each pixel is expressed by a combination of luminances of colors corresponding to the diffraction gratings R, G, and B and the black ink 34.
