Abstract: L'invention concerne un produit comportant une ou plusieurs lignées cellulaires utilisées comme agent d'immunothérapie allogénique pour le traitement du cancer -hez les mammifères et les êtres humains. A ce jour, toutes les études portant sur les vaccins contre le cancer basés sur un traitement cellulaire ont une caractéristique commune, plus précisément l'intention d'utiliser les cellules contenant au moins certains antigènes spécifiques de tumeur et/ou antigènes associés aux tumeurs qui sont partagés avec les antigènes présents dans la tumeur du patient. Dans chaque cas, les cellules tumorales sont utilisées comme point de départ dans l'hypothèse que seules les cellules tumorales contiendront une quantité importante d'antigènes spécifiques de tumeur ou d'antigènes associés et les origines tissulaires des cellules correspondent à l'emplacement de la tumeur du patient. Un premier aspect de l'invention est l'utilisation de cellules immortalisées, normales et non malignes à la base d'un vaccin allogénique contre le cancer basé sur un traitement cellulaire. Les cellules normales ne présentent pas d'antigènes spécifiques de tumeur ou des concentrations importantes d'antigènes associés, il est donc surprenant que des cellules normales soient efficaces en tant que vaccins contre le cancer. Pour le cancer de la prostate, par exemple, on pourrait mettre au point un vaccin à base d'une ou d'une combinaison de plusieurs lignées cellulaires normales immortalisées issues de la prostate. Avant toute utilisation chez les mammifères ou les humains, les lignées cellulaires sont mortellement irradiées aux rayons gamma à 50-300 Gy pour s'assurer qu'elles ne pourront plus se répliquer.

Title: Oilseed processing
Inventor: MAENZ DAVID D
IPC: A23L11/00
Filed: 2001-11-20
Granted: 2005-05-10
Abstract: Crushed and de-fatted oilseed is extracted with water at neutral, mildly basic or mildly acidic pH; and is filtered. The filter media allows passage of small fragments of solid cell meat into the filtrate. The filtrate is treated with a base to increase pH to over pH 9, and solids are separated out. Protein is separated from other constituents of the liquid and concentrated, for example by heat-induced or isoelectric precipitation and/or ultrafiltration. The remaining liquid is rich in sugars. The process results in one or more protein products suited for human or animal food ingredients or for production of cosmetics, a sugar rich product suitable for fermentation or use as a feed ingredient, and a fiber-protein animal feed ingredient.

Abstract: In a vehicle traffic system, the predetermined nominal trajectory (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) for an autonomous vehicle (32) is varied periodically within acceptable boundaries which define a permitted travel corridor (46). The corridor's boundaries ensure the continued safe and controlled operation of the vehicle (32) within the system. In an embodiment of the invention, alternative trajectories (54) are selected randomly; in another, they are parallel to one another (50, 52). In yet another, preferred embodiment, judiciously-selected, alternative trajectories are repeated periodically according to a predetermined schedule designed to avoid repetitive travel over the same precise path, and possibly also selected for optimal results under different terrain, environmental, and/or operational conditions. Thus, by avoiding repeated passage precisely over the path of the nominal trajectory, rutting on the road is greatly reduced and a more uniform surface is maintained for travel.
