Title: Antibodies, Clones for the Production of such Antibodies, a Process for the Production of such Antibodies and Clones and a Method of Immunoassay using such Antibodies
IPC: G01N33/577
Filed: 1981-04-10
Abstract: An antibody having a high specificity to a first antigen comprising a desired antigenic determinant and having a low cross-reactivity with at least one other antigen, said other antigen comprising at least one antigenic determinant which is structurally related to the desired antigenic determinant of said first antigen, is produced by administering to a mammal a copolymer of D- glutamic acid and D-lysine coupled with said other antigen whereby substantially effective immunological tolerance is induced and subsequently immunizing the mammal with the said first antigen. The process of the invention results the preparation of clones capable of producing the desired antibodies. These clones may themselves be used to produce the desired antibody after removal from the source host. The antibodies thus-obtained have a very low cross-reactivity and high specificity and are particularly useful as specific antibodies for immunoassay of various substances present for example in humans.

Title: Pumping apparatus
Inventor: HODGSON DEREK FRANK
IPC: F04F1/02
Filed: 1983-05-06
Abstract: A liquid or flowable medium is pumped using a tank for temporarily containing the medium. Gas is exhausted from the interior space 24 above the level of the medium in the tank, which is connected to a source 14 of the medium (by a valve V5) in order to suck the medium into the tank.
