Title: Oncolytic adenoviruses expressing E1B-156R isoform gene
Inventor: BERG HANS DANIEL
IPC: A61K35/761
Filed: 2013-11-29
Abstract: The invention relates to a recombinant adenovirus that has an oncolytic effect in a cancer cell. By modulating the level and type of splice isoforms of the E1B gene product, expressed from the E1B gene, the oncolytic activity of such viruses can be enhanced. The invention provides a recombinant adenovirus in which the proportion of the E1B-156R isoform is increased relative to wild-type levels. Such a recombinant adenovirus may selectivity replicate in cancer cells, thereby killing cancer cells, whilst sparing normal cells. Methods of forming the oncolytic adenovirus by modifying the sequence of the E1B gene to increase the level of the E1B-156R isoform are also claimed, along with methods of treating cancer using the aforementioned recombinant adenoviruses. The adenovirus with increased proportions of E1B-156R isoform may have a mutated splice recognition region, preferably at the E1B-93R splice site.

Title: A flexible thin film electronic device
Inventor: MICHAEL NIGGEMANN
IPC: H01L31/0445
Filed: 2014-12-10
Abstract: A flexible thin film photovoltaic or electroluminescent device is formed by continuous device layers on a roll of a supporting web. Individual devices may be separated by cutting through the web and the device layers. The cutting action causes the electrode layers to fracture so that no shorts between the top and bottom device electrodes occur at the edges of the device. A separated device may be cut a second time in an opposite direction to the first cut to ensure the correct fragmentation of the electrode (see figure 8). The edges of the device layers including the electrode layers and the edge of the supporting web substrate are aligned vertically.
