Abstract: Chlorella extracts containing high molecular weight Chlorella polysaccharide and polysaccharide complexes show immune modulatory, specifically immune stimulatory, activity. The polysaccharide and polysaccharide complexes contain glucose and any combination of: galactose, rhamnose, mannose and arabinose, as well as N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine. The extracts may be treated with pronase, DNAse, RNAse and proteases to remove unassociated nucleic acids, ribonucleic acids and proteins. The extracts may also undergo treatment to effect cleavage of specific glycosidic linkages, the linkages being defined by their susceptibility to cleavage by amylase, amyloglucosidase, cellulase or neuraminidase. Chlorella extracts may be administered to a mammal to increase proliferation of splenocytes and increase production of cytokines such as IL-6, IL-10, INF-gamma and TNF-alpha.

Abstract: Refractory metal products, such as tantalum on non-refractory conductive metal backings, e.g. copper, can be rejuvenated after metal consumption in selected zones by powder filling the zones and high energy heating at high scan speed to sinter the added powder, without complete melting of the powder fill, thus establishing a microstructure consistent with the balance of the reclaimed product and avoiding the separation of the copper backing and tantalum sputter plate. The rejuvenation method can be applied to non-mounted refractory metal products that are subject to non-uniform erosion, etching, chipping or other metal loss. The form of such refractory metal products can be as plate, rod, cylinder, block or other forms apart from sputter targets. The process can be applied to, for example, x-ray disks or targets (molybdenum plate on carbon backing).
