Title: Cells expressing th1 characteristics and cytolytic properties
Inventor: HAR-NOY MICHAEL
IPC: A61K39/00
Filed: 2011-08-22
Abstract: A novel cell type has been generated that has both Thl characteristics and cytolytic activity. These Thl/killer cells are CD4+ cells purified from peripheral blood and manipulated to have Thl characteristics such as production of IFN-gamma combined with cytolytic activity similar to cytotoxic T-cells (CTL). The CTL activity is targeted toward diseased cells, not normal cells. The cytolytic activity of the Thl/killer cells is mediated by Granzyme B-Perforin mechanism and results in apoptotic death of diseased cells. Methods of producing and using these Thl/killer cells include isolating CD4+ cells from peripheral blood, activating the CD4+ T- cells to form Thl/killer cells and administering these Thl/killer cells with the cytolytic activity to a patient wherein theThl/killer cells are allogeneic to the patient.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a procedure that uses a homogeneous type catalyst for the improvement of heavy and extra-heavy crudes, which consists of the following stages: 1. separation and removal of the water fraction that is contained in the hydrocarbons, 2. A catalyst injection and the activation of the reaction system, 3. Elimination of gaseous hydrocarbons and recovery of the partial pressure of hydrogen at different times, 4. reaction and 5. Recovery of distillated products. This procedure affords the improvement of both physical and chemical properties of heavy oils, thus increasing their APl gravity, while decreasing its kinematic viscosity, as well as changing the fraction composition (SARA), thus increasing the proportion of saturated and aromatic fractions, while and decreasing the resins and Asphaltenes contents, in such a way that the hydrotreated crude oil becomes much lighter. Likewise, the sulfur and nitrogen content is reduced, which overall results in a greater yield of distillates, with higher commercial value, while the coal produced during the reaction is less than 1 wt. %.
