Title: Polyalkylene glycol viscosity-enhancing polymeric formulations
Inventor: JARRETT PETER K
IPC: C08F290/06
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: Hyaluronic acid and polyalkylene glycol (PAG) based materials have been found to exhibit a synergistic interaction, in which the viscosity of the mixture is more than twice as high as the viscosity expected from the viscosity of the individual components. The mixture otherwise has similar properties to those of its constituents, and in particular will crosslink to form covalently crosslinked gels if the PEG carries crosslinkable groups. The viscous formulation adheres well to tissue, and has applications as a tissue sealant and in tissue coating, prevention of adhesions, cell immobilization, regeneration of cartilage, bone and other tissue, as well as in controlled delivery of hyaluronic acid to sites in the body. Related materials exhibit similar effects.

Title: Method of detecting cellular immunity and application thereof to drugs
Inventor: ITOH KYOGO
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 2002-06-24
Abstract: It is intended to provide a convenient immunity monitoring system whereby T  cell frequencies specific to a plural number of antigen peptides can be assayed by using a relatively small amount of blood. Peripheral monocytes are collected and frequently stimulated with an antigen without directly using any antigen presenting cells. Then T cells specific to the antigen in the thus stimulated peripheral monocytes are detected to thereby detect antigen-specific T cells. Thus, diseases such as cancer can be prevented or treated with the use of a peptide having such a function, in particular, cancer tumor-rejection antigen peptide.

Title: The functional disruption of avian immunoglobulin genes
Inventor: ZHU LEI
IPC: A01K67/00
Filed: 2003-03-24
Abstract: A transgenic chicken is disclosed having disrupted endogenous immunoglobulin production. In one embodiment, a targeting construct is stably integrated into the genome of the chicken by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells, and injection of the engineered embryonic stem cells into recipient embryos, thereby knocking out the endogenous immunoglobulin gene locus in resulting animals. The targeted disruption of the locus in embryonic stem cells is particularly useful in combination with the insertion of geneticelements encoding exogenous immunoglobulin molecules. After these chickens are cross~bred, a line of chickens is produced that has a reduction of endogenous immunoglobulin molecule production.
