Title: Human immunodeficiency virus vaccines and therapeutics containing replication-impaired hiv-1 nef-deletion mutants
Inventor: APTE SATEESH N
IPC: A61P31/12
Filed: 1995-12-26
Abstract: Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the primary etiologic agent for the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV exhibits considerable genotypic and phenotypic variability as manifested by different replicative kinetics, susceptibility to serum neutralization, antiviral drug resistance, cytopathic effects, and host-cell range specificity. Infection by HIV leads to progressive deterioration of cell-mediated immune responses making infected patients susceptible to a variety of opportunistic infections, such as pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), as well as, to the development of tumors such as Kaposi's sarcoma (KS). While the use of live-attenuated viruses to treat HIV infection has been proposed, to date researchers have been unable to demonstrate their efficacy in a clinical setting. The claimed invention addresses this defect by providing therapeutic compositions and methods of treatment employing viral suspensions prepared from cells transfected with a recombinant HIV-1 nef-deficient molecular clone. The HIV-1 nef gene product is required for efficient viral replication and pathogenicity in vivo. Nef may exert its effects through the downregulation of CD4 by endocytosis and lysosomal degradation, although other activities have also been ascribed to this gene product. Accordingly, this gene product was targeted for inactivation and a recombinant HIV-1ELI molecular clone was generated containing an NcoI/XhoI nef deletion. Suspensions comprising viral particles generated from cells transfected with the recombinant clone were prepared and administered to HIV-infected patients. Patients receiving these suspensions displayed a statistically significant reduction in viral burden and increase in CD4<+> lymphocyte counts during the study. The claimed compositions should facilitate the reduction of viral burden and the restoration of CD4<+> lymphocyte levels in HIV-1-infected subjects.

Title: Methods for the processing of hard-shelled crustaceans
Inventor: GALLANT CYRIL G
IPC: A22C29/02
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: Methods are provided for the optimization of the utilization of crustaceans, e.g., lobsters and crabs, especially through the use of underutilized components thereof. The methods include separating the intact shell of hard-shelled crustaceans from the raw edible meat contained therein which is very strongly attached to the shells. The methods each include the first step of initiating the detachment of the raw edible meat from the intact shell by several alternative steps. One such step involves the treatment of the crustacean cell with a protease enzyme. Another such step involves the subjecting of the crustacean shell to at least one freeze-thaw cycle. The thawing may be carried out in cold water or in cold brine to minimize deterioration of the flavour of the crustacean meat. Still another step involves subjecting the crustacean intact shell to the action of a superchilled ice/salt mixture which would have a maximum concentration of salt which can bring the temperature down to the eutectic temperature, e.g., +3  DEG C to -3  DEG C. The intact crustacean shell is then separated from the raw edible meat by several different alternative steps. One alternative step includes subjecting the so-treated intact crustacean shell to vacuum aspiration to separate the intact crustacean shell from the raw edible crustacean meat, so as to recover the raw edible crustacean meat. Another alternative step includes manually separating the intact crustacean shell from the raw intact edible crustacean meat, so as to recover the raw intact edible crustacean meat from the intact crustacean shell. These methods are particularly applicable to the recovery of raw edible crustacean meat from underutilized portions of hard-shelled crustaceans, e.g., lobsters of the <i>Homaridae</i> family, as well as for the recovery of raw edible intact crustacean meat from hard-to-process hard-shelled crustaceans, e.g., Spiny lobster, Northern Stone crab (<i>Lithodes maja</i>), Porcupine crab (<i>Neolithodes grimaldii</i>), Irish crab (Cancer <i>pagurus</i>) and Jonah crab (Cancer <i>borealis</i>). Procedures are further-described for the utilization of such recovered raw meat fraction, e.g., to provide stuffing for, and to provide stuffed crustaceans, e.g., <i>Homaridae</i> lobsters, Spiny lobsters and crab.
