Abstract: Disclosed are antibodies that block the binding of fibronectin protein to fibronectin. Also disclosed are site specifically-mutated and truncated peptide epitopes derived from the fnbA and fnbB genes of Staphylococcus aureus, the fnbA and fnbB genes of Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and the sfb gene of Streptococcus pyogenes, and nucleic acid segments encoding these peptides and epitopes. The anti-(fibronectin binding site) antibodies, peptides and epitopes that give rise to antibodies that block the binding of fibronectin binding proteins to fibronectin, and DNA segments encoding these proteins and are of use in various screening, diagnostic and therapeutic applications including active and passive immunization and methods for the prevention of streptococcal and staphylococcal colonization in animals or humans. These DNA segments and the peptides derived therefrom are proposed to be of use directly in the preparation of vaccines and also for use as carrier proteins in vaccine formulations.

Abstract: Bearing device of magnet type for instruments and the like and non-contact support of one part relatively to another part by means of magnet fields wherein the one part is rotatable relatively to the other at least a part of a full turn. The novelty lies therein that the magnet devices intended to keep the rotatable part essentially centered relatively to the stationary part are off-set so that besides radially acting force components also axial force components biasing the rotatable part in an axial direction appear; and in that a connection device connecting the rotatable part with the stationary part and permitting the former to turn at least a portion of a turn is arranged along the axis of rotation so as to keep the rotatable part correctly off-set positioned.

Abstract: A catheter according to the present invention includes a multiple lumen catheter for delivery of a liquid embolic composition through a first lumen and delivery of a solidification agent through a second lumen. The catheter allows adjustment of the relative longitudinal position of the two lumens to control the solidification of the embolic composition within a blood vessel. The multiple lumen catheter system is used by inserting the catheter endovascularly into an aneurysm site and injecting a liquid embolic composition through the first lumen while injecting a solidification agent through the second lumen to wash the area of the aneurysm of blood which has become saturated with solvent, while replacing it with a fresh solidification agent. The controlled solidification of the liquid embolic composition by use of the solidification agent allows the aneurysm to be filled precisely and rapidly even when the aneurysm is located such that gravity does not cause the liquid embolic composition to flow into the aneurysm.

Abstract: According to this method, the seeds previously cleaned and still having their germs are steeped in an aqueous medium (water or activated water with or without nutriments) in an amount of at least 0.6 liter per 1 kg of seeds until the acidity of the aqueous medium reaches 2 to 12 degrees and until the swelling rate of the seeds is characterized by their capacity, under compression, to flatten while loosing the undamaged germ. The aqueous medium where the seeds are steeped is drained and the seeds are ground in order to remove the liquid fraction which is not related to the humid seed mass thus obtained. The dough is kneaded until the target consistency is reached while adding the ingredients indicated in the recipe. The dough is then cut, allowed to rest for 15 to 50 minutes at 35-99° C. while maintaining humidity balance conditions in the dough-atmosphere system, and eventually baked is undertaken at 200 to 300° C., provided that during the first 15 to 200 seconds the dough is in a steam-saturated medium. The seeds can further be additionally washed before their grinding while the liquid fraction removed during the grinding process is used as an ingredient for the dough.
