Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de séparer un composant sanguin, par exemple un monomère de fibrine, du sang ou du plasma. Ce procédé fait intervenir un récipient pourvu d'une chambre de réaction destiné à recevoir le plasma. Cette chambre de réaction est définie par une paroi. On introduit un agent dans cette chambre de réaction afin de transformer le fibrinogène du plasma en un polymère de fibrine non réticulé. Ce procédé fait également intervenir un dispositif permettant de centrifuger la chambre de réaction avec le plasma et l'agent jusqu'à un degré suffisant pour séparer le polymère de fibrine non réticulé du plasma, permettant également de déposer le polymère sur la paroi extérieure de la chambre de réaction et d'expulser le plasma restant de la chambre de réaction. On introduit un solvant dans la chambre de réaction afin de dissoudre le polymère de fibrine non réticulé. Ce solvant est introduit dans la chambre de réaction en une première quantité afin de dissoudre le polymère de fibrine non réticulé, cette quantité étant inférieure à la quantité totale de solvant nécessaire à la dissolution du polymère. On introduit le reste du solvant dans la chambre de réaction en une ou plusieurs parties afin de rincer la chambre de réaction et d'autres parties du dispositif et de récupérer le polymère de fibrine non réticulé restant.

IPC: C07K16/28
Filed: 2001-02-23
Abstract: Methods of diagnosing and treating mammalian tumors with molecules including  anti-estrogen receptor immunoglobulin polypeptides are provided. In an illustrative embodiment, anti-estrogen receptor immunoglobulin polypeptides specific to distinct epitopes of the ligand-binding domain of estrogen receptor are contacted with membrane-associated estrogen receptor under conditions which allow binding of the anti-estrogen receptor immunoglobulin polypeptide to a degree sufficient to inhibit tumor growth by inhibiting the  activation of the membrane-associated estrogen receptor. Injectable compositions for treating certain mammalian tumors with monoclonal antibodie s and methods for diagnosing mammalian cancers which express an estrogen receptor associated with the surface membrane of the cells are also disclose d. Further, alternate methods for blocking intracellular signal transduction emanating from the activation of membrane-associated estrogen receptor forms  are also presented. These approaches also appear sufficient to inhibit tumor  growth.

Patent CA-2406300-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KHALFAN ZAHEER
IPC: B07C5/342
Filed: 2002-10-02
Abstract: An optical paper sorter that uses diffuse reflectance to identify a sheet of paper as either white or non-white. An illuminating fiber optic bundle carries light from a tungsten halogen lamp onto a sheet of paper. A receiving trifurcated fiber optic bundle collects light that is diffusely reflected from the sheet of paper. The light in each branch of the receiving fiber bundle is incident upon a detector after passing through a color filter positioned between the end of the fiber bundle and the detector. At each detector a specific isolated color (blue, green or red) in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum is incident, causing a photo electric voltage to be produced that is proportional to the intensity of the isolated component. A processor uses the mean and standard deviation of relative reflectances that are obtained based on the three voltage signals to determine if the paper is predominantly white or non-white. An air ejection device can be triggered to release a blast of air upon identifying the paper as white, or alternatively, non-white.
