Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for providing a unique temporary international identification of a mobile station during establishment and re-establishment of a logical link between a mobile station and the associated serving GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) support node (SGSN). The unique temporary international identification allows international roaming across country borders without using the international mobile station identification (IMSI), i.e. beyond the coverage area of the home PLMN, it is according to the present invention suggested to form new identity comprising the old TLLI, the old RA, and identification of the public land mobile network (PLMN) that is the owner of the old TLLI and the country where the PLMN belong, The new identity is used as identification on the radio interface, identification within the current SGSN and for identification of the old SGSN. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Ag38 gene, which encodes a highly immunogenic protein, was cloned into a retroviral vector in-frame with the leader and the transmembrane portion of the nerve growth factor receptor, and transduced into murine melanoma cell line B16-B78. Significant protection was observed in mice immunized with the transduced melanoma cells and subcutaneously challenged with parental melanoma cells since only 20% of mice developed tumors. Necroscopy of mice immunized with the transduced melanoma cells revealed dramatic inhibition of experimental metastases induced by intravenous (i.v.) inoculation of parental melanoma cells. Moreover vaccination with transduced cells significantly prolonged survival of mice challenged i.v. with parental melanoma cells. These data indicate that the presence of the mycobacterial 38-kDa protein greatly enhances immunological recognition of structures expressed by the parental melanoma cells. Comparison of Th1 and Th2 responses in mice immunized with parental melanoma cells versus mice receiving the transduced cells revealed a clear predominance of Th1 responses when the Ag38 protein was endogenously expressed. This novel transduction approach based on the 38kDa antigen may represent a promising immunotherapeutic strategy for the treatment of cancer patients. In addition, as vaccine the transduced cells may be used for inducing immunity to cancer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A process for producing the oscillation of a continuous casting mold, especially with the use of a hydraulically driven lifting device. So that the heat transfer to the mold and the formation of the casting shell can be effectively controlled, it is proposed that, for any given strand withdrawal rate, the zero line of the mold oscillations relative to the position of the surface of the steel in the mold be moved upward and/or downward during the casting process. As a result of this measure, the quality of the cast product is effectively improved.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to cell-specific expression vectors. It particularly relates to targeted gene therapy using recombinant expression vectors and particularly adenovirus vectors. The invention specifically relates to replication-conditional expression vectors and methods for using them. Such vectors are able to selectively replicate in a target cell or tissue to provide a therapeutic benefit in a tissue from the presence of the vector per se or from one or more heterologous gene products expressed from the vector and distributed throughout the tissue. In such vectors, a gene essential for replication is placed under the control of a heterologous tissue-specific transcriptional regulatory sequence. Thus, replication is conditioned on the presence of a factor(s) that induces transcription or the absence of a factor(s) that inhibits transcription of the gene by means of the transcriptional regulatory sequence with this vector; therefore, a target tissue can be selectively treated.

Abstract: Methods and compounds are provided for detecting target molecules in a sample using specific binding assays. In particular, methods are provided for detecting a nucleic acid target in a sample. In one embodiment, the method comprises hybridizing a nucleic acid target, comprising a target nucleic acid sequence, to a nucleic acid probe, comprising a probe nucleic acid sequence, wherein the target comprises a binding ligand. The hydridized target is contacted with a receptor comprising multiple sites capable of binding the binding ligand to complex the receptor to the binding ligand, and the receptor is contacted with an amplification reagent, comprising a plurality of the binding ligands, to complex the amplification reagent to the receptor. The presence of the complexed amplification reagent then is detected, for example, by detecting the presence of a detectable label, such as a fluorescent label, for example, on the receptor or the amplification reagent. Optionally, the amplification reagent, comprising a plurality of the binding ligands, is contacted with labeled receptor molecules thereby to complex a plurality of labeled receptor molecules to the amplification reagent, and the labeled receptor molecules complexed to the amplification reagent are detected. This permits the detectable signal to be enhanced and amplified. In one embodiment, the binding ligand is biotin, the receptor is streptavidin, and the amplification reagent is an antibody or a DNA matrix. In another embodiment, an array of different nucleic acid probes immobilized on a surface, each having a defined sequence and location on the surface, may be used in the assays, thus permitting screening and detection of binding of a large number of nucleic acids. <IMAGE>

Abstract: After a cavity 2 of a die-casting mold 1 is evacuated to exclude gases, oxygen gas is blown into the cavity 2 until an internal pressure of the cavity exceeds the atmospheric pressure, and then a molten metal 5 is forcibly injected into the cavity 2. The cavity 2 is evacuated to a degree of vacuum less than 100 millibar through a suction nozzle 11. The oxygen gas is blown through a nozzle 14 into the cavity 2 so as to fill the cavity 2 with the oxygen gas at an internal pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure. When the molten metal 5 is injected into the cavity 2 clarified in this way, inclusion of gases is perfectly prohibited. As a result, obtained die-cast products are free from defects such as blowholes or porosity caused by inclusion of gases and so useful as functional members as well as structural members. <IMAGE>
