Patent CZ-96893-A3 (CZ)
Title: Inhibition of adhesive protein cells and their carbohydrates interaction
Inventor: SEED BRIAN
IPC: A61K35/14
Filed: 1991-11-18
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of inhibiting the binding of a cell bearing a cell adhesion protein to a molecule or cell bearing a carbohydrate determinant specific for the cell adhesion molecule. The method involves contacting the cell adhesion protein-bearing cell with an inhibitor molecule bearing the carbohydrate determinant. Also disclosed is a method of inhibiting the binding of the first member of a specific binding pair to the second member of the specific binding pair, involving contacting the first member with an antibody which is specific for the first member and which is covalently bonded to a carbohydrate moiety which interferes with the antibody's ability fo fix complement and bind an Fc receptor. The methods of the invention may be used, for example, to reduce inflammation.

Title: Wall or floor slab with lattice carrier
Inventor: SINK ALFONS O
IPC: E04B2/26
Filed: 1992-08-25
Abstract: In the case of a wall or floor slab (1) which exhibits a load-bearing member (3) having a surface (5) for receiving tiles (2) and, on the rear side, projections (6), the invention proposes to produce the load-bearing member (3) from a mesh material. In this way, either a very lightweight tiled slab can be produced or, by filling the cavities, a particularly stable and pressure-resistant tiled slab can be provided. Vibratory bedding-down of such tiled slabs into an aligned layer such as, for example, a screed ensures, as a result of the mesh material, an intimate bonding of the tiled slab with the underlying surface. <IMAGE>
