Abstract: The invention refers to the use of a cytokine antagonist which modulates the expression
and/or the function of a cytokine, particularly a Th2 helper cell cytokine, in a cell and
causes the down-regulation of anti-apoptotic proteins in said cell through the cytokine
modulation for sensitizing cells for apoptosis. In particular, the cells that can be treated
with the cytokine antagonists are drug-resistant cancer cells which fail to undergo
apoptosis.

IPC: C22F1/00
Filed: 2003-10-21
Abstract: An apparatus for processing nonferrous metal alloy includes a first liquid metal sodium tub, a second liquid metal sodium tub, and a carrier. The first liquid metal sodium tub stores liquid metal sodium at about 450 °C, and heats the nonferrous metal alloy rapidly to put the nonferrous metal alloy in a solid solution state. The second liquid metal sodium tub stores liquid metal sodium at about 120 °C, and cools the nonferrous metal alloy rapidly to suppress growth of a Guinier-Preston (G-P) zone in the nonferrous metal alloy while in the solid solution state. The carrier, such as a guide roller, carries the nonferrous metal alloy from the first liquid metal sodium tub to the second liquid metal sodium tub. Crystal structures in the nonferrous metal alloy can be miniaturized while preserving grating defects generated in crystal structures of the nonferrous metal alloy. Also, the solid solution state itself becomes a supersaturated solid solution state in which segregation and concentration are suppressed in accordance with solute atoms in the solid solution. As the result of these effects, growth of the G·P zone, in which solute atoms in solid solution are gathered and deposited, is suppressed so as to realize ultrahigh strength for the nonferrous metal alloy.

Abstract: Device for connecting a network of pipes located in a
roadway to a distribution conduit, comprising an assembly of
a container with upright walls and a cover fitting thereon,
provided with at least two openings through which an outer
end of a pipe of the pipe network can be fed in each case in
order to connect this outer end to a distribution pipe which
can be received in the container, wherein for each
distribution pipe at least one distribution opening is
arranged in the assembly which can be connected to the outer
end of the distribution pipe, wherein the recesses are
arranged at the position of the connection between the
upright walls and the cover. 
     Arranging of the recesses at the position of the
connection between the upright walls and the cover ensures
that the pipe ends can be readily guided into the container,
since sufficient clearance is possible. When a pipe end
protrudes for instance slightly obliquely through the
opening, there is sufficient clearance to realize the
connection to the distribution pipe.

Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a composition (C1) comprising (I) or its portion and a carrier, adjuvant or vehicle; (2) determining (M1) the presence of HCV NS5 antigens in a biological sample, involves detecting HCV NS5 antigens with an antibody to the HCV NS5 antigens in the presence of (I) or its portion as competitor of binding of the HCV NS5 antigens to the antibody, where the detection is performed in the absence of a reducing agent; (3) a diagnostic kit for determining the presence of antibodies to HCV in a biological sample, for carrying out (M1), for determining the presence of an HCV virus in a biological sample or for diagnosing HCV infection in a mammal, comprising (I) or its portion; and (4) producing (I). ACTIVITY : Antiinflammatory; Hepatotropic; Virucide; Cytostatic. MECHANISM OF ACTION : Vaccine (claimed). In vivo analysis of the therapeutic effect of hepatitis C virus NS5 protein was carried out in mice as follows. The sulfonated protein (mTNF-H6-NS5A SO 3) and alkylated protein (mTNF-H6-NS5A iodoacetamide (IAA)) were diluted to 500 Microg/ml with sodium chloride (0.9%), mixed with an equal volume of Alhydrogel (1.3%) and finally further diluted with 8 volumes of sodium chloride (0.9%) to yield alum-adjuvanted NS5A at a concentration of 50 Microg NS5A/ml and Alhydrogel (0.13%). Groups of 6 Balb/c mice were immunized intramuscularly three times with a three-week interval with sulfonated or alkylated NS5A (5 Microg). The immune response was assessed 2 weeks after the third immunization. Antibody titers were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The result indicated presence of immune response against NS5A in all animals. Both the alkylated and the sulfonated protein induced a significant antibody response, which was detected by alkylated or desulfonated protein in the ELISA. Both the sulfonated and alkylated NS5A protein, were found to induce antibody response.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for performing data
transfer that can ensure QoS of data transmitted and
received are provided. IEEE802.1p priority tags as
priority identifiers are set under control of a tag
managing terminal. A priority tag is set for a data flow
to be subjected to priority processing, for example, to
be guaranteed QoS so as to prevent duplicate use of a
queue in a communication control apparatus such as a
switch or the like connected to a network. The tag
managing terminal for example converts a queue use state
in intra-subnetwork communication into a table, and
retains the table. In response to a queue request from
each terminal, the tag managing terminal refers to the
table and then assigns a tag. The communication control
apparatus such as the switch or the like that executes
data transfer control prevents duplicate queue generation
for data flows to be subjected to priority processing
only by processing using the priority table associating
tags with queues.
