Patent AU-6644390-A (AU)
Title: Chemiluminescence assay of inflammation
Inventor: ALLEN ROBERT CHARLES
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1990-10-19
Abstract: The presence or amount of inflammation of a patient is determined by comparing the extent of opsonin receptor expression on phagocytes of a patient with the maximum opsonin receptor expression inducible on phagocytes of the patient in vitro after stimulation with a receptor expression priming agent. Preferably, the state of inflammation of a patient is determined by contacting a first portion of a phagocyte containing biological sample from the patient with an opsonified oxidative metabolism stimulating agent capable of eliciting metabolic activation and with a chemiluminigenic substrate, contacting a second portion of the biological sample from the patient with an opsonin receptor expression priming agent, an opsonified oxidative metabolism stimulating agent capable of eliciting metabolic activation and a chemiluminigenic substrate, and then comparing the chemiluminescence response of the first and second portions of the sample as a measure of the immune response potential or state of inflammation of the patient. Phagocyte function is additionally quantitatively evaluated by measuring the phagocyte oxygenation capacity of a maximally opsonin receptor primed and stimulated biological sample of a patient, determining the specific oxygenation capacity to a set of controls representing the normal distribution of specific oxygenation capacity established from testing a large population. The phagocyte-specific oxygenation capacity is determined by contacting the sample with an opsonin receptor expression priming agent, an opsonified oxidative metabolism stimulating agent and a chemiluminigenic substrate, measuring the chemiluminescence response of the sample, determining the chemiluminescence response per phagocyte of the sample and comparing the response per phagocyte with that of the normal range of values. Kits and reagents are provided for use in the practice of the disclosed methods.

Title: Lamellar filler process for the treatment of polymers
Inventor: FOURTY GEORGES
IPC: C08K3/34
Filed: 1998-03-20
Abstract: A process for treating a lamella-type mineral in the form of particles constituted of stacks of sheets, in order to obtain a functional filler for a polymer material. The mineral is suspended in a liquid with a predetermined initial particle size, after which the suspension is subjected to a delamination procedure in order to separate the sheet from the particles, and obtain a particle size smaller than the initial particle size. The suspension is then subjected to selection in order to eliminate the particles larger in size than the predetermined size; it is subsequently dried, and the mineral particles are treated so as to restrict the creation amongst them of strong irreversible bonds. The talcum powder obtained can be incorporated into a thermoplastic material as a functional filler in order to increase the flexural modulus in proportions significantly higher than what is obtained with known fillers, without diminishing the shock resistance of the final material (with respect to the values obtained with said known fillers).

Title: Generation, concentration and efficient transfer of vsv-g pseudotyped retroviral vectors
Inventor: BURNS JANE C
IPC: C12N15/87
Filed: 1994-06-03
Abstract: The present application discloses retrovirus-derived vectors in which the retroviral envelope glycoprotein has been replaced by the G glycoprotein of vesicular stomatitis virus, and the use of these vectors in the transfer of exogenous genes into the cells of a wide variety of non-mammalian organisms. Also disclosed is a method for the generation of retroviral vectors in high titers, wherein a recombinant, stable host cell line is provided which harbors the retroviral vector of interest without envelope protein. High-titer retroviral vector production is initiated by introducing nucleic acid encoding a functional membrane-associated protein into the cell line. The vectors disclosed in the present application can be concentrated by ultracentrifugation to titers greater than 109 cfu/ml which are especially useful in human gene therapy trials, and can also infect cells, such as hamster and fish cells, that are ordinarily resistant to infection with vectors containing the retroviral envelope protein.
Patent AU-7126991-A (AU)
Title: Method and pulling plug for installing a cable in a cable conduit
IPC: G02B6/44
Filed: 1991-02-21
Abstract: The invention comprises an improved method for installing a cable (4) in a tubular cable conduit (6) with the aid of the drag forces of a flowing medium and a pulling plug which can be used in this method. Coupled to the foremost end (8) of the cable in the conduit is a partially leaky pulling plug (10) which is provided with a flow opening (12) for the flowing medium. Said flow opening (12) is so dimensioned that, on the one hand, no harm is done to the drag forces of the flowing medium along the cable (4) but, on the other hand, a small pressure difference is maintained across the pulling plug, with the result that the pulling plug (10) energised in this way exerts additional tensile forces on the foremost end (8) of the cable (4) which compensate at least at that point for compressive forces arising as a consequence of intrinsic curvatures. Said flow opening is preferably such that during the installation of a cable the flow velocity in the flow opening (12) is essentially equal to that of sound in the flowing medium (shock wave condition). The flow opening (12) can be chosen as constant, but may also be regulated in a pressure-dependent manner to maintain the said shock wave condition better. Three embodiments of such a partially leaky pulling plug (10) are described, namely one having a constant flow opening, one in which the size of the flow opening varies with an essentially constant pressure difference across the pulling plug and one in which the size of the flow opening varies with the pressure at the position of the pulling plug. The pulling plug preferably has a circumferential suction seal with the inside wall (11) of the conduit (6). Advantages are reduction of the risk of upsetting and buckling, generally greater installation lengths in one stroke, and a lower compressor power. <IMAGE>
