Patent CA-2266419-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMAS KENNETH A JR
IPC: C07K14/71
Filed: 1997-09-24
Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of gene therapy for inhibiting angiogenesis associated with solid tumor growth, tumor metastasis, inflammation, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, hemangiomas, diabetic retinopathy, angiofibromas, and macular degeneration. Gene therapy methodology is disclosed for inhibition of primary tumor growth and metastasis by gene transfer of a nucleotide sequence encoding a soluble form of a VEGF tyrosine kinase receptor to a mammalian host. The transferred nucleotide sequence transcribes mRNA and a soluble receptor protein which binds to VEGF in extracellular regions adjacent to the primary tumor and vascular endothelial cells. Formation of a sVEGF-R/VEGF complex will prevent binding of VEGF to the KDR and FLT-1 tyrosine kinase receptors, antagonizing transduction of the normal intracellular signals associated with vascular endothelial cell-induced tumor angiogenesis. In addition, expression of a soluble receptor tyrosine kinase may also impart a therapeutic effect by binding either with or without VEGFs to form non-functional heterodimers with full-length VEGF-specific tyrosine kinase receptors and thereby inhibiting the mitogenic and angiogenic activities of VEGFs.

Abstract: A novel injector/reactor apparatus and an efficient process for the partial oxidation of light hydrocarbon gases, such as methane, to convert such gases to useful synthesis gas for recovery and/or subsequent hydrocarbon synthesis.  Sources of a light hydrocarbon gas, such as methane, and oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas are preheated and pressurized and injected through an injector means at high velocity into admixture with each other in the desired relative proportions, at a plurality of mixing nozzles which are open to the catalytic partial oxidation reaction zone and are uniformly spaced over the face of the injector means, to form a reactant gaseous premix having a pressure drop equal to at least about 3 % of the lowest upstream pressure of either of said gases.  The gaseous premix is injected in a time period which is less than its autoignition time, preferably less than 9 milliseconds, at a velocity between about 25 to 1000 feet/second, into a catalytic partial oxidation zone so that the gaseous premix reacts in the presence of the fixed catalyst to reduce the amounts of CO2, H2O and heat produced by the partial oxidation reaction, to form a useful syngas which is cooled and recovered.
