Filed: 1990-08-30
Abstract: A novel hyposensitization agent was prepared by covalently attaching a saccharide to a cedar pollen allergen having a partial amino acid sequence of Ala-Ile-Asn-Ile-Phe-­Asn- (Seq ID No.1) beginning at its N-terminal. The hyposensitization agent, when compared with an intact cedar pollen allergen, extremely accelerates the production of immunoglobulin G and M antibodies which are specific to intact cedar pollen allergen, but extremely reduces the production of immunoglobulin E antibody which is specific to the allergen. Thus, the hyposensitization agent is administrable to cedar pollinosis patients with no anaphylaxis and allergy, and cuts hyposensitization period to about 1/3 to 1/200.

Title: Systeme de criblage
Inventor: MINSON ANTHONY CHARLES CAMBRID
IPC: G01N33/531
Filed: 1990-03-15
Abstract: On décrit un système de criblage à utiliser dans un procédé permettant de produire des anticorps à un immunogène, dans lequel on crible les surnageants de culture hybridome au moyen de cellules infectées par un virus recombinant qui code pour un ou plusieurs épitopes de l'immunogène, lesquelles cellules infectées ont d'abord été soumises à une ou plusieurs procédures parmi les procédures habituelles pour la préparation d'échantillons cliniques dans le cadre d'une recherche de la présence de tels épitopes. Le système de la présente invention présente notamment les avantages suivants: (1) les cellules infectées par le virus recombinant fournissent une grande quantité d'un anticorps; (2) l'antigène est exprimé dans une cellule de mammifère et est donc synthétisé et traité sous une forme sensiblement identique à celle de l'antigène que l'on trouve dans les infections naturelles; et (3) en raison du ou des prétraitement(s) au(x)quel(s) sont soumises les cellules infectées dans le cadre de l'analyse des tissus d'échantillon avant le procédé de criblage hybridome, les anticorps sélectionnés reconnaissent les épitopes qui, parce que résistants à ces prétraitements, sont présents dans les échantillons préparés pour être analysés.

IPC: A47C27/14
Filed: 1991-06-27
Abstract: Pressure reduction matress (10), comprising a laminated foam mattress for reducing or relieving the pressure exerted against a user of the mattress. The mattress includes an upper (12) and a lower (15) layer of polyurethane foam each of which is laminated to a middle layer (14) of a different polyurethane foam. The upper (12) and lower (15) layers feature a polyurethane foam which is of a higher density than the middle layer (14). The upper (12) and lower (15) layers also include a higher initial softness ratio than the middle layer. The middle layer (14) has higher 5, 25 and 65% indentation load deflection values (ILD) than the corresponding ILD values for the upper (12) and lower (15) layers which is attributable to the firm support provided by the middle layer (14). The middle layer (14) is about twice as thick as the upper (12) and lower (15) layers. The upper and lower layers each include a checkerboard-like upper surface. The combination of layers provides for a reduction in pressure points especially in those areas most susceptible to skin ulcers such as the hip and heel. The combination of layers work together to provide firm, comfortable support while distributing loads both between the individual and the upper layer and between the lower layer and the underlying support structure.
