Patent NO-960861-D0 (NO)
Inventor: NOELLE RANDOLPH J
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 1996-03-01
Abstract: Methods for inducing antigen-specific T cell tolerance are disclosed. The methods involve contacting a T cell with: 1) a cell which presents antigen to the T cell, wherein a ligand on the cell interacts with a receptor on the surface of the T cell which mediates contact-dependent helper effector function; and 2) an antagonist of the receptor on the surface of the T cell which inhibits interaction of the ligand on the antigen presenting cell with the receptor on the T cell. In a preferred embodiment, the cell which presents antigen to the T cell is a B cell and the receptor on the surface of the T cell which mediates contact-dependent helper effector function is gp39. Preferably, the antagonist is an anti-gp39 antibody or a soluble gp39 ligand (e.g., soluble CD40). The methods of the invention can be used to induce T cell tolerance to a soluble antigen or to an allogeneic cell. The methods of the invention can also be used to induce tolerance in cases of bone marrow transplantation and other organ transplants and to inhibit graft-versus-host disease.

Abstract: The detonation front is divided into a main and smaller subsidiary front. The main front is introduced into the expansion chamber (17) with a longer operation time so that the expansion chamber contains combustion gases of the subsidiary front. The operation time of the main front in relation to the subsidiary front is such that the subsidiary front is already completely disintegrated in the expansion chamber when the main front enters the expansion chamber. After the disintegration of the detonation, the gas for extinguishing any residual flames is conducted through a flame-extinguishing barrier (7) with gaps in.

Date May 29, 1997A multi-compartment container is charged with a plurality of doses of powdered medicament so that the volume of each dose is than that of the respective compartments in which it is contained. A respective protuberance is inserted into each respective compartment, which is then filled with medicament and the protuberance is then removed. The container may take the form of an apertured plate, in which case the filling step can be achieved by placing the container on a porous bed and in communication with a reservoir of particulate material, and then passing gas through the reservoir, the apertures in the container and the bed. There is also shown apparatus for performing the method, the apparatus comprising a reservoir for the particulate material and a conduit for relaying particulate material from the reservoir to the compartments, the conduit including protuberances which are insertable into the compartments to reduce the available volume of the latter. The size of the doses can be controlled by appropriate selection of protuberance dimensions, and a plate-type container, when filled by the method, can be relatively easily sealed by, for example, the application of laminated foil.

Filed: 1999-11-03
Abstract: The invention is directed to collagenous tissues which have been treated to remove non-collagenous components such as cells, cellular debris, and other extracellular matrix components, such as proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, normally found in native tissues. Treatment of the tissue with alkali, chelating agents, acids and salts removes non-collagenous components from the collagenous tissue matrix while controlling the amount of swelling and dissolution so that the resultant collagen matrix retains its structural organization, integrity and bioremodelable properties. The process circumvents the need to use detergents and enzymes which detrimentally affect the cell compatibility, strength and bioremodelability of the collagen matrix. The collagenous tissue matrix is used for implantation, repair, or use in a mammalian host.

Title: Mixing apparatus and method
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 2000-02-17
Abstract: Mixing of components, e.g. pharmaceutical actives and excipients, is carried out while monitoring the spectroscopic profile of the mixture during the mixing process so that the spectroscopic profile may be used to determine the point at which mixing is terminated. In one embodiment of the invention, the spectroscopic data is collected by means of a monitoring unit mounted on the mixing vessel. the mixing vessel being mounted and driven so as to rotate or oscillate mounted and thereby effect mixing of its contents and the monitoring unit being mounted for rotation or oscillation with the vessel. When the spectroscopic data indicates that mixing has progressed to a desired state, e.g. the production of a homogeneous blend, the monitoring unit transmits a signal to the drive source to terminate rotation or oscillation of the vessel. <IMAGE>
