Title: New method for the selection of clones of an expression library involving rearraying
Inventor: CAHILL DOLORES
IPC: C12Q1/6837
Filed: 1999-04-30
Granted: 2004-04-01
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for the selection of clones of an expression library. The method is characterized by the step of analyzing for the expression of at least one (poly)peptide, such as a tag expressed in frame with a recombinant insert of said expression library, wherein said clones of said expression library are arranged in arrayed form. Screening for the expression of said (poly)peptide allows for the rearraying of clones that express the recombinant insert. Upon rearraying said clones, the library will now comprise clones having inserts in the correct reading frame to a very high degree. Optionally, the library is additionally screened for desired inserts either by contacting the expressed library with a ligand specific for the expression product or by hybridizing or fingerprinting the inserts with a nucleic acid probe.

Title: Determination of ethanol in body fluids
Inventor: BUAER ROBERT
IPC: G01N33/52
Filed: 1985-05-24
Granted: 1987-04-09
Abstract: The present invention provides a stable, convenient solid state test device for the determination of ethanol in an aqueous test sample, a method for its preparation and a method for its use. The use of carrier matrix incorporated with alcohol oxidase, a peroxidatively active substance and a suitable chromogenic indicator for the determination of ethanol in aqueous samples such as body fluid samples (e.g., serum, urine or saliva) is part of the invention. The invention provides a method of incorporating the enzyme alcohol oxidase and a peroxidatively active substance into a carrier matrix with a chromogenic indicator system capable of providing a detectable response to the presence of at least 100 ml/dL ethanol in less than about 5 minutes. The method involves either a) the use of a specialized incorporation procedure or b) the addition of an azide to the test device. Either method overcomes the «false positive- problem seen when solution assay reagents are incorporated at the increased concentrations necessary to provide a test device sensitive to the at least 100 mg/dL ethanol.

Title: Concentric annular ring lens designs for astigmatic presbyopes
Inventor: ROFFMAN JEFFREY H
IPC: G02B3/08
Filed: 1996-05-03
Granted: 1999-06-24
Abstract: Concentric lens designs are disclosed for astigmatic presbyopes which comprise at least one surface which has a circular central portion and a plurality of concentric annular rings with at least three separate optical powers corresponding to a prescription for a patient and corresponding to 1) a basic distance spherical prescription Rx, 2) a near add spherical prescription Rx, and 3) a spherical prescription corresponding to the full, or preferably a fraction of the, cylindrical prescription Rx. An astigmatic presbyopic prescription contains an astigmatic correction, normally in the nature of a cylindrical prescription which specifies both the cylindrical optical power and the orientation of the cylindrical axis. The cylindrical prescription is taken into account in the design of the lens, but not with a cylindrical optical surface. Instead, the present invention recognizes that the brain can effectively discriminate between separate competing images by accepting an in-focus image and rejecting an out-of-focus image. Accordingly, a portion of the lens is provided with a spherical surface corresponding to the cylindrical prescription, or more preferably a fraction of the full cylindrical prescription, and the brain is relied upon to discriminate and accept an in-focus image to compensate for the patient's astigmatism.

Title: BPC-1: a secreted brain specific protein expressed and secreted by prostate and bladder cancer cells
Inventor: AFAR DANIEL E
IPC: A61P35/00
Filed: 1999-08-10
Granted: 2003-01-16
Abstract: Described is a novel gene and its encoded secreted tumor antigen, termed BPC-1, and to diagnostic and therapeutic methods and compositions useful in the management of various cancers which express BPC-1, particularly including prostate cancer and bladder cancer. In human normal tissues, BPC-1 is only expressed in certain tissues of the brain. However, BPC-1 is expressed at high levels in prostate cancer cells and is also expressed in bladder cancer cells. The structure of BPC-1 includes a signal sequence and a CUB domain. BPC-1 protein is secreted. Preliminary experimental evidence suggests that BPC-1 is directly involved in oncogenesis or maintenance of the transformed phenotype of cancer cells expressing BPC-1. BPC-1 also appears to bind specifically to a cellular protein expressed in prostate cancer cells and other cells.
