Title: Mucosal membrane receptor and uses thereof
Inventor: RASSCHAERT KRISTIEN
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2009-02-20
Abstract: The invention is based on the identification of aminopeptidase N (APN) as the receptor for F4 fimbriae of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC). Based on the observation that oral administration of F4 fimbriae induces a protective intestinal mucosal immune response against a subsequent challenge with F4 ETEC, and the observation that the internalization of said F4 fimbriae is clathrin-mediated, the present invention provides the characterization of APN  as a target useful in: in an in vitro assay to screen for molecules that are capable to mimic the clathrin-mediated F4 endocytosis;  in an in vitro assay to screen for molecules that are capable to modulate the binding of F4 fimbriae with APN; in the development of a carrier for the delivery of antigens /  therapeutics, i.e. immunomodulators to the intestinal submucosa or the intestinal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue, wherein said carrier comprises an APN specific target molecule that mimics the clathrin-mediated F4 endocytosis. The use of the carriers thus identified or the treatments thus identified, in a method of inducing an antigen specific intestinal mucosal immune response, and/or in the treatment of bacterial diarrhea, is a further aspect of the present invention.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and an apparatus for use in positron emission tomography. Discrimination is made between scattered photons and photoelectric photons lying on Lines-Of-Response (LOR). A scanner identifies a plurality of triplets, each triplet comprising a detected photoelectric photon whose energy level is within a range indicative of positron annihilation and two detected scattered photons whose energy sum is also within the positron annihilation energy range. A processor aligns the triplets, first by rotation and translation, bringing all photoelectric photons on a same axis. The processor also rotates further the triplets about the axis of the photoelectric photons, bringing all scattered photons in a same plane. A neural network mitigates LOR  identification errors.
