Patent CA-2544024-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SELA YOSSY
IPC: H04M1/7246
Filed: 2003-11-02
Abstract: A mobile phone gateway connected between a mobile phone operative on a first network in accordance with a first protocol, and one or more SIM cards, facilitating communication over a second network in accordance with a second protocol. The mobile phone gateway monitors outgoing call-setup messages issued by the mobile phone over the phone's connector to an external SIM card, decides if a call should be routed through the second network, in which case it performs a call-setup process with the second network and routes data and signaling through means for protocol conversion between the first and second protocols and means for communication over the second network. The mobile phone gateway monitors incoming call requests issued by the second network, handles call-setup in collaboration with the mobile phone and the SIM  cards, and routes data and signaling through the means for protocol conversion and means for data and signaling communication with the mobile phone.

Title: Methods of enhancing immune response in the intradermal compartment and compounds useful in the methods
Inventor: MIKSZTA JOHN
IPC: A61K39/39
Filed: 2004-12-06
Abstract: The present invention relates to immunogenic compositions for intradermal delivery of an antigenic or immunogenic agent in combination with one or more excipients. The immunogenic compositions of the invention comprise an antigenic or immunogenic agent and at least one excipient which acts as an adjuvant, i.e., enhances the immune response to the antigenic or immunogenic agent, once delivered to the intradermal compartment of a subject's skin. The immunogenic compositions of the invention comprise an excipient which when administered to the intradermal compartment of skin in accordance with the invention demonstrate adjuvant activity. The immunogenic compositions of the invention have enhanced efficacy as the excipients of the composition cause an asymptomatic skin irritation and recruit antigen presenting cells to the intradermal compartment and thus enhance presentation and/or availability of the antigenic or immunogenic agent to the antigen presenting cells. The enhanced efficacy of the immunogenic compositions of the invention may result in a therapeutically effective immune response after a single intradermal dose, with lower doses of antigenic or immunogenic agent than conventionally used, and without the need for booster immunizations
