Title: Method for ex-vivo purging in autologous transplantation
Inventor: DUCHOSAL MICHEL
IPC: C12N5/16
Filed: 2005-09-30
Granted: 2012-01-19
Abstract: The present invention concerns a new method for ex-vivo purging of cells in autologous transplantation, wherein the sample of taken cells is treated with a sufficient amount of a multimeric form of the soluble portion of FasL to kill malignant cells without substantially affecting viability of cells to be transplanted. Autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) following high-dose chemotherapy with or without radiotherapy has become the standard therapy for the majority of patients with large-cell lymphomas, multiple myeloma, and refractory/recidivating Hodgkin's disease. Such therapy is nowadays also contemplated for selected patients with low-grade lymphomas (chronic lymphocytic leukemia, follicular lymphoma, mantle cell lymphoma) and for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Current treatments for cell purging include chemotherapy and antibody cocktails. These treatments are often toxic on stem cells and not efficient in eliminating cancer cells. Thus, there is an unmet medical need for cell purging in ASCT which this project will address.

Title: Integrator system and method for rapidly determining effectiveness of a germicidal treatment
Inventor: ZHU PETER C
IPC: A61L2/28
Filed: 2006-03-27
Granted: 2012-02-02
Abstract: Abstract The effectiveness of an oxidative sterilization process is determined by exposing a substrate having a known amount of a primary amine or aldehyde 5 indicator chemical to an oxidative germicide. The oxidative germicide reacts with the indicator chemical. The amount of indicator chemical remaining after exposure to the germicide is determined by reacting the indicator chemical with a dye precursor chemical to form a colored product. The amount of indicator chemical remaining on the substrate is determined from the intensity of the color of the 10 colored product. The amount of indicator chemical remaining on the substrate is a measure of the effectiveness of the germicidal treatment. The dye precursor is an aldehyde when the indicator chemical is a primary amine and a primary amine when the indicator chemical is an aldehyde. An integrator for determining the effectiveness of the germicidal process includes a substrate and an indicator 15 chemical, where the indicator chemical is a primary amine or an aldehyde. 27/03/06,eh 15577.spc,2
