Patent CA-2496904-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FARRAR GWENYTH JANE
IPC: A61K31/711
Filed: 2003-09-01
Abstract: Methods and agents for suppressing expression of a mutant allele of a gene and providing a replacement nucleic acid are provided. The methods of the invention provide suppression effectors such as, for example, antisense nucleic acids, ribozymes, or RNAi, that bind to the gene or its RNA. The invention further provides for the introduction of a replacement nucleic acid with modified sequences such that the replacement nucleic acid is protected from suppression by the suppression effector. The replacement nucleic acid is modified at degenerate wobble positions in the target region of the suppression effector and thereby is not suppressed by the suppression effector. In addition, by altering wobble positions, the replacement nucleic acid can still encode a wild type gene product. The invention has the advantage that the same suppression strategy could be used to suppress, in principle, many mutations in a gene. Also disclosed is a transgenic mouse that expresses human rhodopsin (modified replacement gene) and a transgenic mouse that expresses a suppression effector targeting rhodopsin. Also disclosed in intraocular administration of siRNA.

Abstract: An improvement is made to instruments which have been used historically to measure chemiluminescence in oxidative stability studies of chemically cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) to allow said instruments to measure thermoluminescence and thereby the concentrations of by products in XLPE, either as an aggregate concentration or as individual concentrations. The improved instrument selects in turn the wavelength of a by product's emitted light and thereby measures all the individual concentrations of the individual by products in turn. The improved and adapted instruments of the present embodiments are integrated into a production process for chemically cross linked polyethylene insulated electric cables or for other products made of chemically cross linked polyethylene. This allows in situ on-the-fly measurements of by product(s) concentration(s) to aid in control, with the use of a computer, of process temperature(s) and other control variables (e.g., peroxide concentration) as selected by a manufacturer. The measurements obtained by the improved and adapted instruments of the preferred embodiments can be combined with mathematical models and sophisticated computer software, newly created or already in use in the chemically cross linked polyethylene cable manufacturing industry, to improve further the control of the chemically cross linked polyethylene manufacturing process for not only insulated electric cable but also other products made of chemically cross linked polyethylene such as, but not limited to, medical prosthetic devices and goods packaging.

Abstract: The present invention stably provides a high-strength hot-dip galvanized ste el sheet having a high tensile strength and no non-plated portions and being excellent in workability and surface properties even when the employed equipment has only a reduction annealing furnace and a steel sheet containin g relatively large amounts of Si, Mn and Al that are regarded as likely to cau se non-plated portions is used as the substrate. The present invention: secures good plating performance even when the steel sheet contains Si, Mn and Al by adding Ni to a steel sheet, thus forming oxides at some portions in the stee l sheet surface layer, and resultantly suppressing the surface incrassation of Si, Mn and Al at the portions where oxides are not formed; enhances the effe ct of Ni and accelerates the formation of oxides by further adding Mo, Cu and S n; and moreover, in the case of a TRIP steel sheet, secures austenite by determining the ranges of Si and Al strictly, avoiding the deterioration of plating performance caused by the addition of Ni, and further adding Mo in a balanced manner. In addition, the present invention, in a TRIP steel sheet, improves press formability by regulating a retained austenite ratio and accelerates the formation of oxides by regulating a hydrogen concentration a nd a dew pointin annealing before plating.
