Abstract: To calibrate a triple-barrel weapon, with height and side settings for each barrel, a bracket (5) is rigidly fixed to the first barrel (1). An alignment holder (9) is fitted to the bracket (5) with a release mounting, so that the muzzle ends of the other two barrels (2,3) lie at a nominal position to the muzzle end of the first barrel (1). The three barrels (1-3) are loaded and fired. On an unacceptably large drift of the shot from the first barrel (1) at the target by the other two barrels (2,3), the alignment holder (9) is replaced to shift the muzzles of the barrels (2,3) in relation to the muzzle of the first barrel (1) to correct the drift.

Abstract: Telomerase reverse transcriptase is part of the telomerase complex responsible for maintaining telomere length and increasing the replicative capacity of progenitor cells. Telomerase activity is turned off in mature differentiated cells, but is turned back on again in hyperplastic diseases, including many cancers. This disclosure provides regulatory elements that promote transcription in cells that express telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT). Oncolytic viruses are described, in which a toxin or a genetic element essential for viral replication is placed under control of the TERT promoter. As a result, the virus replicates preferentially in cells expressing TERT, and selectively lyse cancer cells. The viral constructs of this invention hold considerable promise for the treatment of previously intractable malignancies.
