Patent CA-2551442-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LANG PETER
IPC: A61K39/385
Filed: 2004-01-21
Abstract: The invention relates to a set of novel immunological adjuvants based upon so called "polyladder" proteins of nematode worms. These proteins are typified by repeating units separated by a protease cleavage motif of RX(K/R)R or RXFR  where R is ariginine, X is any amino acid, K is lysine and F is phenylalanine.  These motifs are preceded by a cysteine residue at around 7, 8 or 9 residues upstream. Polyladder proteins or fragments of polyladder proteins may be used as immunological adjuvants either mixed with, or conjugated to a vaccine antigen, and will strongly enhance the immune response against the antigen.  Conjugation may take the form of a genetic fusion between adjuvant and antigen. Antigens may be derived from pathogens, or may be tumour antigens, autoantigens, or antigens of other kinds. Vaccines may be used for prophylaxis or therapy.

Title: Non-marking endless woven press felt seam
Inventor: SWAINE BRENT
IPC: D21F7/10
Filed: 2006-07-27
Abstract: A method of making a pin seam area, to be closed by a single pintle, for an endless woven multilayer papermakers fabric comprises selecting a repeating weave pattern to provide a double layer body portion, and a shed change for the warp yarns adjacent to the body portion to provide a first seaming portion at a first lateral edge and a second seaming portion at a second lateral edge. In each seaming portion the warp yarns are separated into an upper and a lower group. The weft yarn in sequence interweaves with the upper group to provide an upper layer, forms a seaming loop about a forming wire and interweaves with the lower group to provide a distinct lower layer. The method and a fabric made by the method provide improved uniformity of the seaming loops and reduced sheet marking in the seam area.
