Abstract: Disclosed is a soil collection receptacle attaching/detaching apparatus for a cyclone vacuum cleaner, which allows only a soil collection receptacle to be attached to or detached from a cyclone unit that includes a cyclone body as well as the soil collection receptacle, in which the cyclone unit is installed in an accommodation recess provided in a cleaner body, so that the soils in the soil collection receptacle can be conveniently dumped. Also disclosed is a cyclone vacuum cleaner provided with the soil collection receptacle attaching/detaching apparatus. The disclosed inventive apparatus comprises a soil collection receptacle having a sliding groove formed on the bottom surface that confronts the floor of the accommodation recess, a guide member located at the lower end of the soil collection receptacle, wherein the guide member is formed with a pair of guide projections at the opposite sides; and an operation lever adapted to move the guide member up and down, wherein the operation lever comprises a manipulation part and a pair of guide holes that cooperate with the guide projections, wherein the guide member moves up and down as the manipulation part is pulled and pushed, whereby the soil collection receptacle is attached to or detached from the cyclone unit. Because the soil collection receptacle is spaced from the cyclone body as the guide member is lifted, only the soil collection receptacle can be independently separated from the cleaner body.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des procédés de suppression de la réponse du système immunitaire chez des receveurs d'organes, de tissus ou de cellules greffés. Une quantité extracorporelle de sang du receveur du greffon est traitée afin d'induire les monocytes contenus dans le sang à se distinguer et à former des cellules dendritiques. La maturation des cellules dendritiques est tronquée à un niveau où les cellules dendritiques peuvent inactiver des clones de cellules T qui peuvent, en outre, générer une réponse du système immunitaire non souhaitée. Les cellules dendritiques immatures peuvent être directement administrées au receveur du greffon, ou les cellules dendritiques peuvent être co-incubées avec la préparation de la moelle osseuse ou de la cellule souche, avant la transplantation, afin de supprimer ou d'éliminer les cellules T de donneurs qui réagissent contre le receveur et qui contaminent la préparation de la moelle osseuse ou des cellules souches. Ces procédés peuvent être utilisés pour supprimer la réaction du greffon contre l'hôte chez des receveurs de moelle osseuse ou de cellules souches greffées ou pour supprimer le rejet d'organes ou de tissus greffés.

Title: Inhibitor screening method and atopic dermatitis-like symptom inducing method which utilizes induction of production of interleukin 18 by keratinocyte, and utilization of same
Inventor: NAKANISHI KENJI
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 2004-04-21
Granted: 2010-12-21
Abstract: The present invention provides methods which use induction phenomenon of production of interleukin 18 (IL-18) from keratinocytes (KC), and their usages. The methods are preferably applicable for the understanding of pathogenic mechanisms of atopic dermatitis (AD) and AD-like symptoms, and for development of therapeutic drugs for AD and AD-like symptoms. For example, by applying on the skin of mice or the like, protein A (SpA), derived from Staphylococcus aureus, or transplanting, on mice, a skin graft which has developed an inflammatory skin disease like AD, it is possible to reproduce elevation of IgE to a high level in serum, and this elevation is normally generated in an AD-like lesion. As a result, it is possible, for example, to screen for an inhibitor which inhibits induction of production of IL-18 from KC.
